Thanks again ladies,
As far as shine, I think the camera makes it look shinier, than it really is.
I think the heat and oils give me enough shine, so I normally use oil sheen and serums when I do a wash-n-go or wear phony ponies, but not with my regular styles.
Labett: I didn't use a setting lotion for roller setting. My hair is blowdried, hotcurled and rolled. I did use IC Fantasia Leave in as a protectant.
Denali03: Yes, that technique works really well.
I also love your color.
DSD: Sure, we can trade off. You can braid my hair and I'll color yours.
Thanks again ladies
