My low-mani spiral set for fine-haired stretchers

[FluffyRed]

Not sure if this method has been posted yet, but I am stretching and I have fine 4a hair. Spiral set styles (using perm rods or those bendy foam things) are good for stretching, but with my roots, wet setting seems to put my hair in jeopardy. So, I came up with a method that I like a lot:

1. Apply con like a relaxer for the Cowash
2. Let the shower head "detangle" hair, rinsing straight back
2. Airdry in a silk scarf, wrapped tightly
3. Spiral set, using a spray bottle mix of infusium, rusk smoother, water and oil.

I shake the bottle to mix and just barely dampen the hair and set as normal. I try not to really disturb the roots.

Benefits
-It turns out beautifully!
-This method helps you really "place" your curls.
-It dries relatively quickly

Hope this can help someone.

Usually i don't get good sets unless my hair is drenched but this sounds like a good idea.

thanks!
