View attachment 379767 View attachment 379771 Fresh set before and after smoothing. I don't know why I'm always wearing a Syracuse shirt when I set my hair. I didn't even go there!

Thank you for posting

You have such beautiful hair!

My set turned out nice but my ends definitely need a trim. I will trim them the next time I color which is probably in two weeks.

I separated the front to see how it looks in the second picture.

I used the TGIN twist Creme and red and orange flexi rods. I will hope for the best. If it doesn't work out I will just twist my hair up when I get to work.

Beautiful set as usual.

Thanks Toaster. You are hilarious.

If this twist creme works out, I will be able to set every week or every other week.

Thank you. I think a little extra length is helping.

Here it is this morning after the flexi rods. Didn't separate too much. Will see if it last.

Yes faith! That is gorgeous! Hope it holds up, then you can teach me what to do.

Thank you toaster. Teach you what to do?

It did poof but it's still wearable. Last month when I did it, it was destroyed by 10 am and I ended up putting in flat twist. I'm thinking maybe a cream and a job oil or a gel and an oil. I need to see if I have a gel with no humectant.

I'm going to trim my ends tonight and try a flat twist out for tomorrow. I think part of my issue is me ends are porous.

Thank you toaster. Teach you what to do?

Yes ma'am! I have never used a flexi rod in my life.

I know naptural85 has some older videos on how to turn stretched hair into another style so I'm going to watch those. If I could get two weeks out of a roller set I could let my hair growth even longe .

Oh... I think you will like flexi rods.

I tried a flat twist out today. I didn't add anything for hold which my hair needs. It started out good but it's poofing as we speak

 

[flyygirlll2]

@faithVA It still looks good though, poof and all.

Thanks. But this isn't the poof version. I will take a picture of that at the end of the day. If this was the poof version I would be good with this.

At 10 am it's bigger It's my fault though. I used the TGIN daily moisturizer which has glycerin in the top 3 ingredients.

It starts off so smooth

Finally did a rollerset! I used green perm rods, sat under the dryer for an hour and I've been letting them cool for over an hour. Basically I'm too lazy to take them out. And I'm not sure exactly how I'm going to style my hair so they'll sit for a little while longer

@MileHighDiva

Hey there!!! Thank you so much!

I actually got my hair blown out & flat ironed for my b'day this year. Been rocking curly for most of the year. I need to get back into setting. I do utilize my Caruso Steam rollers when my hair straight. I may use on Thanksgiving. If I do I'll snap a few pics to share.

Glad to see this thread still going strong.

Happy Thanksgiving Ladies!!!

It is such a hassle to upload pics and I suck at taking pics of my hair. The pic is probably huge but I tried. I set with APB leave-in which has a serum consistency and lotta body setting lotion mixed with water and a liquid bamboo extract. My hair is light, soft and bouncy.

Your curls came out nice.

Thank you. I think they're too soft. I just tried separating and I had to stop before I created frizz. Not sure what I'm going to do. I'm trying to get a decent pic of the separated curls.

@KinksAndInk
of to look at the ingredients of APB LI. Which on did you use

 

[KinksAndInk]

@MileHighDiva its super shiny. I suck so bad at taking hair pics though.
I used this one w/glycerin because it's what I had on hand.

The glycerin could be the cause of the frizz. Glycerin does seem to work out well when separating. It draws in moisture and the hair just goes gaga

My hair is fine and frizz prone. I get less frizz when I set with gel. I think it's because my hair has zero hold and is so soft and bouncy. I normally don't pay attention to if a product has glycerin or not I just know for this product because you have to pick one of the options when you order lol. My hair cooperates with everything except aloe vera juice.

It's worth investigating. My hair likes glycerin but I can't use it when I want to wear my hair out. Maybe next time you try a set try it with products that don't have humectants.
