My roller set epic fail Wash Day update - October 17, 2014

I woke up craving some curls and what better way to satisfy my craving for nice bouncy curls than with a roller set.

[1] I started my moisture deep conditioning session from the previous night on dry hair using the CCC method applying  a mixture of Joico Moisture Recovery Conditioner+ Mizani Moisturefuse Conditioner+ 2 caps full of Roux Porosity Corrector and Conditioner + 2 teaspoons of honey + 1 cork full of Home health Castor Oil.

[2] Deep conditioned with heat under my Hot N Gold hooded hair dryer for for 30 mins. My hair was uber soft and moisturised.

[3] Rinsed out and Co-washed with  Tresemme's Moisture Rich Luxurious Moisture Conditioner with Vitamin E.

[4] Sprayed 1 part  lotta body to  a 3 part water mix to my hair and top off by apply a dime size of Chi Silk infusion to the length of my hair in four sections. Then I proceeded to rollers set ,starting from the back. By the time I was halfway I had to refresh the front of my had with my lottabody mix as the front of my hair as starting to dry out plus due because I was moving at snail pace.

[5] After completing my roller set I sat under my hooded dryer for an hour and 15 minutes to ensure my hair was dry. When I removed  the roller set at the back, I noticed they were not 100% dry, I attribute this to the design  of the dryer as I have been noticing when I DC and remove my plastic cap my hair at the front of  feels much hotter than the back. I will do a proper review post of the Hot N Gold hooded hair dyer soon. The texture of the hair at the back was silky and smooth, which could be due to the fact that  I might have been a bit more ' heavy-handed' at the back when compared to the front. Also I have noticed that my stylist failed in texlaxing my hair  properly. First there is little to no texture towards the back of my hair when compared to the middle and front sections. So these factors could play a major role in the differences I was seeing. The front and middle sections  of my hair appeared a bit dry which I found a tad bit  confusing considering that I have just done a moisturising deep conditioning treatment. My only explanation for this was went overboard with the Lottabody, and perhaps I should have weakened the solution a bit more or I should have smoothed the hair a bit more. I am not sure what my hair did not look great. I don't know yaw man [read in Jamaican accent here].

[6] So I combed out the dry ugly curls using a wide teeth combed added my leave in and seal then bunned my hair.


My hair did not turn out as I hope. I will continue to research to see to see if I can find perhaps a blogger or a you tuber who has had success in roller setting their hair. I will not be giving up on roller setting any time soon. I plan to roller set once or every two weeks.

Sorry that my post has been so bland I promise I will spice things up with pictures very soon.

Hope you have had a great wash day experience .
