I'm going to a cosmetology school tomorrow for a roller set and I'm contemplating going with conditioner in my hair. Policy usually states they have to wash and condition your hair themselves but I mean what are they gonna do if it's already conditioner in it?
I've done it before, they just wash & cond as usual.
Yeah they just rinsed and kept going. The girl tried to shampoo me again and I told her no ma'am
Okay so my hair is all rolled up and I'm under the dryer. I'm under a salon dryer and the bottom row of rollers doesn't fit here either! I'm missing something because I'm sure people get their hair rolled all the time and dryers have not shrank over the years. Also the stylist didn't roll that much faster than me either 
So two of my issues are still unsolved. At this point, Id be frequenting a salon just because I don't want to do my hair myself.
After I see my results I'll decide if I want to make this a once/twice a month thing.

Yeah that's a break in policy. I understand that's your hair, but I wouldn't do that at a Cosmo school. That's running a lot of risks for the student and yourself.Yeah they just rinsed and kept going. The girl tried to shampoo me again and I told her no ma'am

A few months ago I posted about how I needed to start taking care of myself again. The good news is I actually did it and I'm in better shape and I got my skin regimen down and my skin looks great. I work out 4 times a week but my hair just isn't having it!! I feel like I've tried everything to look decent. I miss my sleek roller sets but I know they won't last.

This is me right now. I haven't rollerset in a month. I'm in rollers at the moment, but the sleek look will only last 1 day.

Congratulations! I know how a good sweat can kind of mess up your hairline. I'm in the same boat. I wonder if a silk scarf tied down during and after the workout would help?
So the length of my hair and roots are straight which is great but my hairline looks as if I airdried with no product
It's the worst when someone else does your hair and it's not fabulous. I hate when that happens.

The shampoo, DC, and leave in.
I hopped in the shower, shampooed my hair, applied the D.C., let it sit for a few minutes, rinsed, and applied the leave in.

I miss roller setting but sometimes I cowash a few days after wash day so it's a lot of work for a short amount of time

Can someone recommend a styler to me?
I style my hair wet after cowashing but I need help getting it smoother. I don't want to use a gel because it'll dry my hair out so maybe something creamy? Or a custard?
I tie my hair down with a scarf but it still doesn't get really smooth. I think it's a product issue.
What do you use to get a sleek look?

For me, a creamy leave in that has silicones, a silk scarf, and sitting under the dryer. Air drying allows my hair to frizz up too much.
My next wash day I'm going to try four ponytails, braid the length, tie a scarf, and under the dryer for an hour and 20 minutes.
Also pulling the hair up in the shower under running water helps.
So, thought I joined this challenge when it started this year, I have to admit that I have only set my hair once that I can think of....and it wasn't even a true and proper set. To make a long story short: I had an event, wanted to stretch my hair, used some Jane Carter setting foam on dry hair and installed curlformers. That actually worked really well (except for one wonky non-curl that resulted). I had curls, but combed them out for a glorious stretched puff.
I have been coveting a Pibbs for months. I know I can air dry to set (especially in the case of curlformers and perhaps flexirods, but I also wanted to work with magnetic rollers and perm rods), but wanted to set with a dryer....
....okay...having written that out and knowing what tools I have on hand, while I would *like* to do some setting under the dryer, I really don't have an excuse for not really getting started yet...
Carry on!

Beautiful set on hourglass rollers!
I don't think she needed the flat iron. The results are

I agree. The set came out beautiful, shiny and only water in her hair.
