nmoultry hair journey

Hello Ladies,

hair today was back to my normal rod set. I think I have more shine this time because I re-visited my Alter Ego leave-in serum

Very pretty! Which do you find easier...your normal rodset or the curlformers? What do you suggest for a setting lotion?

---Reese

@Freestyles: hmmmm I think putting in the curlformers are easier because you do not have to worry about elastic popping you. I use a setting lotion called Vision 2000. I think any kind would work. I absolutely hate Lotta Body though. It makes my hair crunchy and I can't stand that. KeraCare makes a good foam wrap lotion and so does Mizani. I'm not sure about all natural products. I just use whatever my hair likes

Ok great, I'm going to stop by Sally's after work. Do you use a heat protectant too? If so, what do you use? Not sure if it's necessary under a hooded dryer?

Thanks girlie!

Nah I don't use a heat protectant under the dryer. I put serum on my hair but that's more for shine

I love your rod sets. Where did you purchase your hair steamer from?

Thanks! I purchased mine from www.buyritebeauty.com

I forgot to post yesterday's hair. For the most part my hair looks the same daily.

How do you do it? What is the secret? If I try to wear my hair the same daily and feel like I am going to loose my mind. I would like to do it because I know the low manipulation would be great for length retention. Advice?

Honestly lazy is the secret. I don't do twist outs because that means I have to retwist nightly a wash and go means an extra hour doing my hair in the morning (not feeling that at all). I look at rods and roller sets as a once per week thing and that's how I do it.

Laziness you say? LOL, I think I can handle that. I am about to start back school so that will keep me busy enough that I will not even have time to touch my head. Now I just have to figure out my "go to" style that I can wear all week. These are the days that I miss undergrad because I would rock cornrows week after week and sometimes never remove my hat/du-rag...now i have to be an adult-that sucks!

Yeah being an adult and this corporate America crap sucks. I have to deal with my Gov't customer for software requirements so I can't sport the corn rows to the back.....

You don't do anything when you have a roller set? Do you use big or small rollers? I usually have to pin curl my roller sets. My rod sets are care free for a week.

Guess who is trying out her curlformers tonight???? You guessed it! Me! I'll let you know how it turns out! *crosses her fingers for NMoultry-like results*

I loved my curlformer results and I have you to thank! Seeing your results made me a believer!

Even though they only lasted a day...I'm determined to find a way to make them last longer next time! I'm sure my problem lies in my setting lotion mixture!




Don't wanna load your thread up with my photos so stop by my thread when you get a chance for more pics (including the end of the day when Mr. Frizz Factor stepped in, lol).

Cute Reese!!

Nmoultry - girl you make me wanna try the rod set again. My first time was a disaster but its a little longer now .

Hi there ladies,

Well I attempted to do the video until I realized the video option on my camera is a quick video (and by quick it was quick). As soon as I figure out other options I will make video
