Setting to Success 2014 Challenge

[GettingKinky]

I know you all are probably sick of my post and pictures by now, but I has to show you the final results of my first real roller set.

I slept with my hair in 2 ponytails and 5/8" satin covered foam rollers and I even worked out this morning. I can't believe how curly it still is. I just need to make this last until Christmas.

Beautiful! Girl, I'll never get tired of pictures. I'm a visual person so I prefer people to show me instead of always talking about what they do. Keep the pics coming!

Got a head full of curlformers and I'm under the dryer. I tried to make my sections smaller, so I used 31 instead of 26 like last time. I plan to flat iron after I take these out

Those look a lot less intimidating than the ones I usually see. I don't believe I've ever seen plastic ones like that before. Thanks for sharing! Did you get those from a regular BSS or did you have to order them from online?

I got them in a well stocked beauty supply store.

Okay I know I'm in thus challenge but I couldn't help myself and did my baby's hair using the curlformers. I wanted to see how they would look and it came out beautifully. I haven't seperated them or anything. I used Soultanicals Muru and then applied BASK 7 fold butter and JR Nurish and Shine. I used 103 rollers and let her sit under the dryer on medium heat for 25 minutes and then hair dried for 2 hours after that. I left 2 rollers in bc they weren't dry yet.

Gorgeous! But how on the world could you get her to sit through 103 rollers? I am struggling with 30+

Her hair looks great! How long did it take to put in 103 curlformers?

Wore a half up half down set for Christmas. The night before I moisturized then used a finger tip of Kinky Curly Custard on each section before doing 4 bantu knots. It came out soft and bouncy with a little hold.

Thanks but girl those bantu knots were 3rd day. My 2nd day hair was a hot fluffy mess. I went to sleep in a high bun without doing anything to it...but at least now I know that I must set it some kind of way if I plan on wearing it down. Don't laugh at what you are about to see. I know it may not seem that bad but I like a more tame sleek look so this was a no go for me.

Now that I have a new dryer i was finally able to set my hair. I used my largest mesh roller and the snap on caps. the caps really make a difference on my hair and getting the roots smooth. Now that i am fully natural I will never set without them.

It took me less than 30 minutes to set my whole head! I thought i was a bit rusty but setting hair like riding a bicycle. Once you learn you never forget!

I want to try mesh rollers to get my roots straighter but I'm worried because they are mesh. I know I need to get over myself, but I'm still scared.

The Mohawk method of roller setting just doesn't seem to work for me. I always end up with tight curls in the middle and loose curls on both sides in the back. For some reason I can never get enough tension on the sides with the middle row of rollers is done first. Not sure why......

So I've been craving straight hair since I took my senegalese twists out however my regular stylist is STILL on freaking maternity leave and will be until late February. So I took the plunge, borrowed my step daughter's flat iron and did it myself. Surprisingly it went really well being that I haven't straightened my own hair in years! The results were ok..I sho nuff prefer my salon results to this and above else my roller sets to pressed/straight hair anyway. So nope, I'll continue to leave the heat up to my stylist.

I was pincurling as I went so I'll see what it looks like tomorrow. I did a total of 5 pincurls.

Oh I rollerset first then flat ironed letting the pre-sectioned hair from the rollers be my guide. I did 2-3 passes on the roots and 1 on the length.

I'm going to join this challenge for dd and myself. We always set and when that wears out, we bun. We had a hard time last year and lost a lot of length when we moved to TX, so we're still trying to get that back. We hardly ever straighten, so I'll post a starting pic once the set falls nearly straight.
