hey sis! i think the rollersetting with the "indirect heat usage" is fine as far as the heat factor! when i use to roller set or roller wrap.... THE MANIPULATION factor was the worse! I would loose more hair with these methods
the relaxer stretchers threads may offer more tips. I think if you hair is extremely thick, the manipulation will be less harmful (my opinion)
But if fine or thin.... it's the worse thing to happen to you (exaggeration)
<<-- Combing down the rollersets and wraps, re-wrapping at nite, I would shed and break 10x as much as normal
heat protection! I'm not sure you need a whole lot with indirect heat. I bought tons (probably should sell) of
chi silk infusion from sam's wholesale club right before i went natural!
It's suppose to be one of the best protectants! I think Redken has one as well (research best heat protectant in the search bar) <<< I usually go with the highest number of testimonies.... or the highest vote on the polls (i read about a really great one by the way, but apologize, don't remember which name everyone raved about)
Get in on tracyee's blog on k.i.s.s. blogspot <--- excellent advice on relaxed hair (my opinion)
ummmmmm, but the rollersetting is certainly better than flat ironing or blowdrying
I decided cones are not my thing.... but are excellent heat protectors, so if i choose to use heat I will deep condition with silicon mix and use the chi silk infusion line!
i need to learn more about ceramides & SAA <<< they may help you, but i know nothing about them...... so i will be researching later
