ROLLERSETTING:Has Anyone Tried This Technique (pics)?

[MizaniMami]

Hey ladies, in a few weeks I will be heading into the wonderful world of rollersetting. I hope that I can rollerset about once per month. Anyways I caught this fotki from another forum.

It states after rollersetting, wrap the hair in saran ( yes SARAN LIKE FROM THE STORE LOL), sit under the dryer for 15 minutes and then take it down and the hair should be nice and silky. Anyone try it? Here are some pics and the link to the fotki:

ITA. Wow!

Back on topic . . bumping for more responses.

Yeah I've lost focus on the thread also. Macherieamour your hair is absolutely gorgeous. You ladies are such an inspiration!!!!!!!

 

[kbody4]

I agree beautiful hair Macherie!!!!

 

[Hardwksister]

Macherie your hair is beautiful. Yes i've tried the roller wrap. After you take your rollers out you then wrap your hair either left or right and then cover with saran wrap. Sit back under hooded dryer for may 10 to 15 minutes for me any longer i'd start to sweat and that defeats the purpose. Take your saran wrap off and wala straight bouncy hair. hth.

 

[MizaniMami]

lol, forget the original question!

Mach,
I saw you been bunning and DCing heavinly? What did you do on that pic? Did you rollerset and use the Keracare stuff?

Maybe a dumb question but what IS the purpose of the saran wrap? To make it soft silky or all of the above?


I am getting so pumped to try it!

Did you add anything before you applied the saran wrap?

 

[asubeauty]

My stylist does this, too. She said that it is to relax some of the curl so it doesn't come out all puffy, but keeps body and some curl. (I hope you understand what I'm trying to say!)

I do it at home if I wash in the morning and need to be somewhere later that day. If I wash at nite, then I just wrap my rollerset and go to sleep.

Yeah, Ive keeping my hair up at much as possible, either in a pony or bun. Down 1 0r 2 days a week. I got it blow out by the same guy who did the first pic. He used their supply (it was Toppers Spa in Philadelphia). He did mention putting one of those expensive ACV rinse on my hair like Philip B or something before blowdrying to make it super shiny.

The only things I changed in my regimen were doing the hot steam towel pre-poo treatment, going back to Keracare exclusively and taking 1 oz of Wheatgrass daily.

 

[divinefavor]

Beautiful hair, Macherie!!!!

 

[MizaniMami]

Thank ya'll I will def. be trying this!

 

[Mizani_Mrs]

UGH! MACHERIE...We sooooooo cannot be friends..... Just kidding, what an inspiration! I'm going to start back getting my hair rollerset often because you are proof that getting it done often, retains the ends and also leads to better fluidity and movement. love u girl!!!!

back OT: My stylist/friend does this to my sister's hair. It further straightens the hair, after a rollerset. Gives it a smooth sleek look instead of a curly look after a rollerset.

 

[Hardwksister]

Mizani - I think your hair would be beautiful with the technique. It relaxes the curl but leaves alot of bounce in your hair. Try it, i think you'll like.

 

[macherieamour]

ITA I think you will LOVE this. Rollersetting makes the hair soooo silky, it literally chnages the texture or your hair. And the ends stay protected and healthy. I know tons of people who have grown their hair by roller setting, blowing out the roots and wrapping. But i think the saran wrap treatment will make it extra silky and bouncy.

Your hair is so nice!!! I can rollerset my hair easily, but I have not mastered blowing out my roots. I have tried it a few times and my hair came out look like a HAM!!! I gave just gave up

 

[blackbarbie]

That is how my stylists does my hair when he sets it, except instead of saran wrap, he uses some other form of plastic bonnet and puts me back under for about 20 minutes and voila - my hair looks as if it has been flat ironed, is straight like i like it, and has had the benefits of a healthy (for me) roller wrap instead of direct heat. (that's how my hair was done in my siggy)

I usually use a scarf at home but I am going to try the saran wrap too! In the link, the lady mentioned mentioned using different color of rollers in the crown than in the other part of her hair. For those whose hair is almost or actually at one length, will you use all one color rollers to do this or different colors?

TIA,
BB

I got a relaxer 4 days ago and this is what my stylist did too. She says it gets rid of the poofiness at the roots without sacrificing body. And Macherieamour, your hair is beautiful!

 

[firecracker]

Using Saran Wrap is ole skool. That is how my old stylist did my wrap styles back in 1992.

 

[RabiaElaine]

Hmmm....I wonder how this would work for those of us that are texlaxed??? I usually use a flatiron after my rollerset if I'm wearing a sleek look. It would be great if this method could do that....

If someone has done this let me know.
