Hair rollers from Ethiopia

Are their any members on this board that live in Ethiopia? Another member here on the board and I are looking for some special hair rollers that can only be purchased in Ethiopia. They are sort of like magnetic rollers, heavier though, with little teeth and holes. A friend of mine had her natural hair done by an Ethiopian stylist in Atlanta, and it was absolutely gorgeous. I wish I had a pic... but unfortunately not.

Actually the rollers we are searching for are a little different. The groves are raised and smooth. They grip the hair for a tighter hold. This is needed IMO to help stretch and smooth natural hair during a roller set. I posted about these rollers last year and in thread about mesh rollers. However, now I have pics. My hair stylist is ethiopian and uses these rollers. She brought them over from Ethiopia. She says they are not sold here in the US. I asked her to get some for me. So I will post an update when I get them. But if any of our LHCF sisters have any info about them in the interim please let us know!

TIA! :)

OMGoodness I was just thinking about these rollers. i actually got my hair rollerset for the very first time since being natural and it came out beautiful. i have to admit I was scared that my was heat damaged because it was so straight.

Actually I use velcro rollers and have not had any problems with them pulling my hair out...I don't use them on wet hair and when taking the rollers out of your hair you have to make sure that you are un-rolling and not pulling the roller out of the hair. I have been using velcros since I was teenager and it gives my hair crazy body...

I will put the rollers in my hair and get in the shower and let the steam set my hair...

I can't find a pic right now, but those look a lot like some red hard mesh rollers I have by Soft n Style. I ordered them from Amazon or EBay.

growinglong777, now that I saw the rollers I will look for them. They most likely come from china. I know for sure that they are not made in ethiopia.

Yeah a lot of the women back home use those rollers I do too but I have seen those types at many BSS stores here in Chicago they are all made in China anyway.

And they don't snag or cause breakage on my hair unless I roll them too tightly. But I like them a lot.

I too found SelTom, the only wholesaler on alibaba who sells them. He is very shady and unreliable. I do not advise working with him as I placed an order with him that he never fulfilled. Luckily I never paid him anything.

I know this is an old thread, but since it's been bumped...I bought some several years ago in a beauty supply store in a DC area mall. Sorry don't remember the name of the mall, but it's right off the Silver Spring metro station if memory serves correct.
