I just wanted to tell you about my first experience doing a roller set on Natural hair. First off; the results are excellent! (I'll post pictures later) I decided to do it because I wanted to try something different and I also wanted to get a sneak preview of my length without flat ironing my whole head --which I haven't done since my BC!
So I washed my hair in the shower as I usually do, the products that I used were the Pantene (for women of color relaxed and Natural) Shampoo and Conditioner. I was running low on shampoo so I also used some Herbal Essences Hello Hydration to get a lather. #Sidenote I know a lot of naturals only co-wash, but I feel it necessary to wash my hair with shampoo at least once a week. I also combined my Pantene Conditioner with some honey (yea buddy)!
Once I was out of the shower, I towel dried my hair just a little to keep from dripping water all over the place. I then put some Cantu Pomade and Cantu Silky Shine oil all over my wet hair and then I sealed that in with some Cantu Leave-In Conditioner. Once I was finished applying those products I separated my hair into about 5 sections (2 along each side and one long section going down the middle.
In the future I may separate this differently since I ran into some problems once I got to the back. My rollers were probably medium sized and if you go to my youtube page (http://www.youtube.com/ashlash21) you'll see a short demo (once I post it) of how I detangled, what size rollers, what type of roller and how I rolled each part. I also used Pantene: Relaxed and Natural Setting Lotion for this particular style. See video for more instruction.
Then this morning I took out my rollers, finger combed through my hair, pinned some hair back with bobby pins (to my liking) and then proceeded to flat iron my bang for style. If you have any questions of suggestions that you want me to do to my hair --Please let me know! Look for pictures soon as well as my take on trying other natural hair styles!
