I think so (overall healthier). I am not dealing with my ends at all and the number of split ends have decreased dramatically. (In conjunction with frequent deep conditions and dustings.)

Whatever creamy leave-in at the moment. Right now it's HE's Break's Over. Before that it was PM The Conditioner. I follow with any serum (PM Super Skinny, Chi Silk Infusion)

I sit under Gold n' Hot dryer for 90 min on LOW.

I choose this option, but I roll the back of my mohawk UPWARD too. Only the first 3-4 rollers in the mohawk are rolled down. I tried it the other way, and I am miserable every time.

I have always rollerset my hair. I have soft fine hair and that is the only way that my hair looks like it has body. My hair is much more healthy than when I use to just flat iron. I used to see alot of split ends when I flat ironed my hair. Now that I roller set, I barely have any breakage.

I use naccidt LIC and nu expressions foam wrap lotion.
once dry Mizani rose h2o creme

I use the mohawk method with the sides down.

I have to sit under the dryer or my hair will be really frizzy no matter what product i use on it.

I love it, but it can be time consuming.

....I have a question though...: When I rollerset, I loose a lot less hair compared to when I blowdry, but I still loose some hair... strands in the comb, on my hands, enough to wipe everything off halfway through my rollerset.
I don't believe I am being too rough with my hair... could it be the products?
I have 4a/b fine strands little density hair. relaxed. Whe do you suggest? Or is it all normal? Please help me with this... could salerm or lacio lacio help?

How long does it take you to airdry?

 

[froggie08]

How long does it take you to airdry?

Before my Pibbs I didn't have a dryer so I was forced to airdry my hair for any hairstyle (rollersets, curlformers). I usually did this overnight or if in a semi-hurry it would take me 4-5 hours for my shoulder length hair to dry.

 

[cocochanty]

Would you say that overall your hair is healthy or healthier from rollersetting.
Yes because my biggest enemy was direct heat. And my hair would snap right off.
