I still do my roller sets (and it still takes about an hour to set) and my curls stay fresh (and BIG) for a MINIMUM of 7 days. How do I do this? Hmm... Check it out:
This is my hair... 4 days into my last roller set
Twist hair up (as high up as you can manage) into a LOOSE bun
Secure using a clip... This size is perfect
*To keep the edges smooth, I usually wrap a silk scarf around my head before hittin' the sack.
In the morning (or whenever you're ready to go) simply take down and shake! (don't worry, the curls will "find themselves", or you can use your fingers to form)
VOILA!

Thanks for posting this. I will definitely try this. I love your ideas. I'm normally a lurker, but had to comment. Lol Thanks again!
your hair looks really nice. I'm thinking of doing a roller set but I still havent grasped the art of roller setting or rod sets =[
beautiful roller set... thanks for the tips!
it looks good!
when i left my apt a few years ago and moved into a smaller one, i left my dryer and my rollers... :(
it wasn't really on purpose but i never went back to retrieve them... oh well
Your roller sets look great! What products do you use for your set?
So good that you can rollerset so well!
It's hard for me to do it b/c once I get to the back I hate not being able to see where I am parting the hair ARGH.
Great idea!!!!
Oh wow! Great idea. Unfortunately I gave into the creamy crack in September (my long,thick natural hair became a bit much with my currently busy schedule) so I now get a doobie at the Dominican salon on my relaxed hair. But I was looking for a way to maintain it without nightly wrapping and harsh metal pins. I'm gonna try this...
Great tip!
This works wonders on transitioning hair because new growth doesn't get tangled or messy at night. Really easy to comb in the morning. (No perm for 3 to 4 month). I'm excited!
I use that method sometimes when I dont feel like pincurling. but mostly i just pincurl everynight.
You have lovely hair and a beauty that matches its loveliness. Wondering though, to get that same set, would a hair dryer be necessary? If so, what model do you recommend? I remember years ago, we used to have hood dryers that we sat under for about an an hour or more. Are hood dryers even still made? For the past ten years, I've been blow drying and flat ironing. At night, silk sleeping caps work very well for me. Beauty supply store carries them.
Thank you for posting and sharing your hair regimen.
Hi! I'm loving your rollerset, and I myself have been using rollersets for the past month now, but when I do them I usually leave the tight curls as they are. My question to you is exactly what do you do to get it to look so straight? Do you blow dry or flat iron your roots after setting and drying?
Ebonee- I usually just run a big barreled curling iron along my edges to smooth it out a bit (I don't touch the roots inside)... that's all! Between that and wearing a scarf every night that is what gets it straight.
