In my 2011 Hair Resolutions I vowed not to use direct heat.
Well, a few days ago I was in the mood for straight hair & decided I would do a roller set.
Roller setting is a great method to use when straightening natural hair. It adds body and does not use as much heat as blow drying and flat ironing.
To begin the lengthy process I shampooed and conditioned my hair. I then placed my hair in 3 sections, one middle section, similar to a a Mohawk, and two side sections.
After detangling each section I rolled my hair, in 1 inch sections, from back to front, adding a small about of Crème of Nature’s Argan Oil Foaming Wrap Lotion (shown below) to each section. I repeated this process throughout my entire head.
When I finished I sat under a hooded dryer for about 45 mintues. I then allowed my hair to air dry for another two hours.
After my hair was completely dry I removed each roller & applied a small amount of Carol’s Daughter Mimosa Hair Honey (shown below) to my entire head. To prepare for bed, I wrapped my hair and placed satin scarf on my head.
The next day I unwrapped my hair and saw this (see the photo below). After spending hours on my hair it looked a hot mess! My roller set revolted on me. 
This is what I think I did wrong: remember the “large” rollers I used? I don’t think they were “large” enough. Had I used bigger rollers the curl would not have been as tight and after wrapping my hair would have had a straighter look.
Despite the interesting outcome, the roller set did straighten my hair. I am definitely try this style again in the future!
If you have any roller setting tips feel free to share them below!
Your hair looks so fancy in the last pic! Very nice! I did my first roller set last month. I loved the look it gave me. I used a lot of jumbo rollers that time, but next time I’ll use all xtra-large rollers for a curlier set.
Why thanks! I thought I looked a mess!
I am going to try the jumbo rollers next time. Hopefully, my hair will be be straighter.
I just found this post via google- I really loved your outcome! honestly, I find that wrapping hair that has not been thoroughly straightened to the root (ie. flat iron) will do more harm than good. if I were you I would have pinned the curls down and finger combed the parts out in the morning for a curly look, or otherwise proceeded flat ironed my hair.
That came out really cute!
Thanks for the hair tips. I think it came out good.
Thanks Doris!
