First Roller Set On Natural Hair Part I

Hey everyone: it's your girl, Nomi 2004, also known as D princes 28, I'm coming at you today because I'm going to attempt to do a roller set. This is my hair and it's naturally I'll say frizzy state, because it's not really. My curls aren't really shaped and I'm due to have it washed. So what I'm going to do is I'm gon na give the shower I'm gon na wash. I am gon na deep condition, my hair with my oars replenishing pack and then I'm gon na come back. This will be the first time and I'm actually attempting to do a roller set on natural hair. I used to roller set my hair quite often when I was relaxed. In fact, if you guys watched my my hair journey video, that's on my blog. I talked about how there were two times in my life that I damaged my hair and the first time was when I was in junior high and I was using a curling iron everyday to spiral. Curl, my bangs or my hair and my hair broke off and fell out, and so the way I've nursed it back to health and got my length back was, I would go to the shop and get wraps, and then I would roller set it at home in Between shop visits and when I rolled up my hair, I didn't have to do anything to it for about a week, so I know that roller sets are great for the hair I'm gon na. Like I said, this would be the first time that I'm attempting to do it on my natural hair, so I'm going to go ahead and wash and condition it and then I'll be back. Okay, everyone, I'm back so my hair has just been washed in deep conditioned and what I'm going to be using is a product that I picked up at Sally's today. It'S called design foam by elastic kewpie reason why I chose this over other form. Wrap setting. Lotions is because it says that it contains olive oil, coconut oil and avocado oil and it's alcohol, free and some of the other ones. I had looked at said that it would provide a light hold, so I thought it might give it more of a the hairspray effect, and I want something that will get my hair, smooth and silky, and this is what this claims to do so I'll be giving It a shot I'm going to be using my roller set, my 75 piece roller set that I purchased at Walgreens. I debut this on my blog a while ago, some of you said that you also saw this at available at Walmart and basically as rollers of various sizes, so I'm only going to be using. These are the rollers that I used to roller set my hair at night if you've watched that video, but I wanted something larger because I feel like it would take. You know the smell and the roller the longer it'll take because in your hair is thicker on the roller. So I want to get something that will stretch my hair out. So I want to try this so what I'm gon na go ahead and do is I'm going to part my hair in two sections, and so I can work section by section. Okay, so I went ahead and divided my hair into four sections. I still haven't put any product in it, yet this basically says to dispense foam it's a palm of hands on damp hair distribute evenly by coming through. Like I said, this is the first time I'm performing a roller set in years and it's the first time I'll. Be performing one on natural hair, so this will be the experiment for both of us, so I'm gon na go ahead and get some of that whew I'll. Leave that in there just so, you can see that oh go ahead and pick some of this phone and start putting it in my hair. Then I will take my why tooth comb and start combing through it from roots to from ends to the roots. I did detangle my hair in the shower, go ahead and put a little bit more of this near my roots. To make sure I can get that smoothed out. You can concentrate a little bit more on my ends. My hair is actually still really wet, so I'm just gon na take my towel and just blot it a little bit and then go ahead and put just a little bit more foam in okay. I think I got an apple amount of this product in this section. Someone go ahead, a cool thing about this set, the 75 P said. Is it came with a rat tail comb? You could use this to do your parts. It also comes with these clips, so instead of having the magnetic casing on top, I guess I'm supposed to be clipping my hair into place. So we'll see how that goes. Then I'll take one of the clips that was provided in the set and go ahead and clip my hair, which that does not seem like that's gon na stay okay there. So I got to clip it towards the roots. Actually, I will do this one more time. So I wan na make sure I get a good amount of tension to stretch my hair out, and I already see that I may have an issue of getting my hair straight at the roots that does not feel secure. Cass said this was gon na, be an adventure for both of us bear with me please. This does not stay in place and it's gon na defeat the whole purpose. Oh the cool thing about this - I don't know if you noticed that this has holes in it and the holes are supposed to allow the air to flow through better, and you know penetrate through to your hair, okay. So I'm gon na leave that at that go ahead and get another section by this section into two sections. Like I said, I don't want to build up too much hair on one roller, because it'll just be that much harder for the air to penetrate decided to alternate between the sizes. So I guess this one will be considered super jumbo. Then I have the Jumbo. Then I guess this would be considered large, medium and small. So that's what this kit contains actually there's a one's even smaller than this, so this would be even smaller. So so I don't use all the purp only have one two, three, four, five, six, seven. Eight purple ones I'm gon na alternate to make sure I'll have enough to use on this side too. Okay, as you can see, I have half my head done. All the hair in the back. I'Ve noticed that, with these clips, in order to get a good amount of tension, you need to place these clips as close to the scalp as possible. I don't even know if this is gon na, be a good enough amount of tension to give my hair, as straight as I want it to be, but um I alternated the size of the rollers, because I saw that like, for instance, I'm not gon na have Enough jumbo to just put like all the jumbo in the back, so whatever I did on this side, I just try to mimic on the other side, so whatever I come out with it'll look uniform even if it's like uniformly crazy. I don't know okay, so you like this one, this one feels loose or is loose so go ahead and tighten that okay. Now I'm gon na get started on the front section, so go ahead and take some of the rap lotion and saturate it oh and places when I got to when I started parting through each section. If I saw any place that works dry like, for instance, some areas, my hair seemed drier at the roots that I just applied a little bit more of the wrap setting lotion to that neck area said I'm gon na go ahead and squeeze some of this out Apply just a little bit more, the Jumbo one. This isn't the superjumbos one right under the jumbo. With that. Okay, houston, we have a problem because I just ran out of these silver clips that came with the rollers, so I'm gon na see if my silver clips that I used to part my hair with, will work and if not, then I'm going to have to proceed To roll the rest of my hair with my magnetic rollers fences, here's one of my typical clips: okay, that worked hopefully I'll, have enough. Okay, everyone, I'm back! As you can see, I got all my hair rolled up. Luckily, I didn't need to use any of my magnetic rollers, my when I ran out of the clips. I just went ahead and use my silver hair clips and I still have a few left. So actually, what I'm gon na do is, I said many times before the reason. One of the reasons why I don't do roller sets because it takes so long. It just took me 30 minutes just to roll my hair up and just the way it's looking. I have no idea how this is gon na turn out, because I don't feel like I have enough tension. In fact, I'm gon na do this one over but um. What I wanted to explain to you was long REE curling. This one is that I don't like the fact that I can sit on the dryer for so long. So what I'm gon na do is I'm actually going to someone out tonight. I'M going to give myself a manicure pedicure first, because I figure, if I got ta, send out of the dryer for a good hour, so my nails can also be drying during that time. So I'm going to like say, give myself a manicure pedicure. First then I'll sit on the dryer, so I will tell you how long this process takes me and I'll account for air drying time, which will be, while I'm doing my nails in sitting under the dryer. And then I will come back and let you know what we're working with
