I am pretty new to LHCF and the rollersetting thing...I tried one on Sunday and I experienced major breakage (small short hairs), like "I must be going through some thangs" type breakage - it was sorta scary. It is still breaking this morning, but not as much as right after I took my hair out of the curlers.
I washed and deep-conditioned, applied Neutrogena silk touch leave-in and proclaim shine gloss, and I used very very diluted lottabody in a spray bottle to keep my hair wet. I sat under the pibbs for a really long time (1.5 hours) though at pretty high heat (I have a Pibbs 508, the one with only a timer)
What do you all suggest? I am really clueless, but I really want to be a DIYer.
Background: APL, relaxed 4a/b hair, (I am 7 weeks post, but I usually go 12 weeks, trying to go 16 weeks)
