Roller set hair after combing it out and pin curls The picture above is the result of the pin curls that I installed last night. Although I am happy with the appearance of my hair, I do not like the crunchiness from the setting lotion.

Day 2: Roller Set with NO Heat (Continued)

My roller set hair after combing it out Happy Thursday! Last night, I attempted to comb my hair after applying Coconut Oil. Bad idea! My hair was still a bit crunchy from the setting lotion. Also, my curls were very tight, so it placed stress on my ends. I wrapped my hair, but I decided to take it out. Next time, I will try combing and wrapping my hair when I use the big rollers.

Day 2: Roller Set with No Heat Style

Hey everyone! Last night I put my hair in pin curls before I went to sleep. This morning, I took them out and applied Coconut Oil to my hair. I grabbed two sections in the back, twisted them upward and pinned them. My curls have softened up. Tonight, I might try to comb out my curls a little and wrap it or pin curl them again. I'm loving these curls :-)  It's weird because this is the straightest that my hair has been since I have gone natural.

Roller Set With NO HEAT: Success

No heat roller set...air dried,  8 hours after removing rollers Hey everyone! If you have been reading my last posts, then you know that I have been fighting the urge to use direct heat on my hair.

Items Needed  Rat tail comb Leave-in conditioner (I used Carol's Daughter's Hair Milk Le...

Roller Set Without Any Heat

Happy Wednesday everyone, The last time that I went natural, I relied heavily on heat for my styles. This time I've decided to not to use much heat. Last night, I washed, deep conditioned my hair, applied Green Tea & Shea Butter Moisturizer by Softsheen Carson, and Coconut Oil. I applied Motions Wrap Lotion to each small section and rolled my hair in rollers. ( I think I will try the flexi rods next time) over night. My total drying time was about 7 hours. In the morning, I unrolled my hair and separated my curls. I was very happy with my results... When I first started rolling my hair, I didn't use the spray bottle or wrap lotion a lot. I think that section came out more wavy. So, next time, I will use both a little bit more. But, my hair frizzed up thanks to the humidity. Nooooooo!!! By the end of the day, my hair ended up looking more like cotton balls than curls, lol. I put two decorative pins in the front. Tomorrow, I may just use the side combs or do a...
