Well this morning i finally had a successful rollerset! My hair came out so bouncy and full! The problem is that I can't seem to hold any curls past my lunchbreak. My hair has always been this way and I'd usually just spray it to death with hairspray. I'm really trying to avoid this though because it only breaks my hair off. Does anyone have any suggestions as to a product that can hold my curls after a rollerset?

I was just about to post the same question, I'd like to know the answer to this too!

I'd like to know too.
My hair does fine when I use a setting lotion. BUT, setting lotions make my hair hard and easier to break and snap while combing. I've read that several women on our board do not even use setting lotions. Some just use a leave in conditioner. I tried that. But now I think that I have to have a setting lotion to help my curls last. I think I'm going to try Keracare's Cream Setting Lotion. Hopefully I'll be able to find it. I would suggest trying a creamy setting lotion maybe. I know the regular liquid ones break my hair off, and I know you don't want that. Lottabody makes a setting lotion that you dilute yourself. I'm not very good at that. Either my setting lotion is to hard, or not strong enough. A soft bouncy hold is what I want. I've tried every wrap hair foam that Sally's carries. Every one of them dries my hair out and makes it dull, even the Elasta QP Foam (supposedly contains no alcohol or detergents) and Moisture Sealant. So hopefully, the Keracare will work. I had nothing but success with their products.
Oh and congrats on your roller set Patticake! I know EXACTLY how you feel. HTH

Compassion, I've never heard of the Keracare Cream Setting Lotion, but I have used the Keracare regular setting lotion and I found it to be very sticky and drying. I was very surprised at that since it does not contain any alcohol. You might like it though since you like their other products.

Try Lottabody Creme Wrap for wrapping and setting. It's also alcohol free. It does not make your hair hard and gives a soft hold. I didn't use this when I last rollerset...but since it's humid I need some help so I will be using this the next time.
Be sure you get the creme...NOT the lotion!

No. I like Miss Cool for that and also I use Elucence Moisture Balancing. This is great on wet hair....but actually I've never tried it on dry hair...it seems like it would be too heavy. Maybe if you water it down a little.

When my hair was relaxed, I liked Fantasia Liquid Mousse. Infusium 23 was good for wet sets, too. Try using smaller rollers. If the curls fall, your hair will still look "done".

Ive recently tried rollerseting my hair and I find that less is more. I only use Infusium 23 (lightly) and oil on my ends and my rollersets last all day long without setting lotion or hairspray. I love in Florida where the humidity is killer, but it doesnt have an affect on my rollerset. Also check out the size of rollers you're using. If you know your hair is going to fall, try setting with smaller rollers, which will make a tighter curl. A your hair falls, all youll have to do is finger-style your hair! Good luck!

I had sucess years ago with mousse. I'll have to try this tonight. Can you get it at Sally's?
Smaller rollers.....good idea Sassygirl and Mermaid! I'm doing that today..so far so good. I also finger combed with Sebastion Wet to give my hair a little hold. I hope this method works out.

Cindy, you know I think Soslychic is right. I believe I was referring to the Keracare Foam Wrap Lotion. I am not sure about them carrying a cream setting lotion.
I could be wrong though. Sweetcocoa, I tried that Lottabody Cream Wrap in the jar and was not pleased.
It left a film on my hair, and made it hard to comb while wet. Lottabody used to make a cream wrap lotion in a tall white bottle. I loved that!! It's a bit thicker than the one they make now in the jar, and did not leave a residue on my hair. Sally's doesn't carry it anymore. Oh well. I wished the one in the jar worked like the old one. Thanks anyway!

Sassygirl I see there are 2 different ones ...one is for rollersetting(blue)and the other you posted is for wrapping(pink)...do you think there is a difference or does it matter?

I still see it at Sally's and the Korean bss. I gave up on "setting lotions" because they all seemed to make my hair feel hard and crispy. The only reason I started trying to wet set my hair in the first place was because I couldn't find anything for dry sets that worked like Miss Cool. (They really need to bring that stuff back...) I don't remember ever seeing the blue Fantasia product.
I've only used the pink one. It isn't really a "mousse"--it doesn't foam up or anything. Knowing how hair product manufacturers like to stretch a dollar, it's probably the same product with a little dye in a spray bottle.

You're right, Sassygirl. I have both the Fantasia setting lotion (blue) and the wrapping lotion (pink) and they're both pretty much the same. For some reason both bottles have some kind of black-ish colored residue at the bottom. Does anyone else have these and have the same problem or did I just get some bad product?

Ok thanks. I think I'll pass. I had some success a while ago with mousse(the foam up kind) and the humidity. I have that at home. I may try that on a dry set mixed with a little oil.

Have you tried Vigorol Mousse? My cousin uses the one for relaxed hair to keep her type 3 curls from turning into an afro in the FL humidity. It might work for roller sets, too. I haven't seen it at Sally's in years, but the Korean bss still sell it.

Thanks! I'll try this...I also want something to keep my air dried curls from frizzing also. Do you have a pic? I'll look for it this evening.

Ok...What's up with all the pink and blue hair products?
@ Cindy:
This doesn't suprise me at all. I call it "pulling a Pantene on the consumer".
Pantene has shelves full of the same three or four products. Shame, shame...
