Re: French roll help
Hello Compassion,
A french roll is my signature hairstyle to the point of people literally freaking when I found this board and started changing my hair to accommodate the no heat thing. Now I can do it by either rollersetting or just pinning it up and having a natural look. It's all good with me.
I don't stuff mine though...never did and my hair isn't thick. The added hair may be drying yours out. Not sure, I just worked with what I had.
I take my roll down daily - in the morning and moisturize my strands and ends with a cream moisturizer along with a little oil and pin back up using hairpins - not bobby pins as they pull the hair.
At night I do the same, but I only use one thin hairpin at the top to keep from pulling my hair at the nape out. Then I tie it up with a scarf - I normally wear this style a week at a time. Once you sleep on it - it will develop a natural bend and will be easy to re-do daily.
This keeps my strands and ends nice and moisturized.
