Flexirod/Perm Rod Set on Natural 4a/b hair. pic heavy-ish :)

[Rocky91]

i've been doing sets lately, since i started the Rollersetting Challenge for 2011.
I just wanted to share my results, since often people worry or think they wouldn't be able to do them on natural hair.
Products:
Olive Oil Cholesterol to DC
Elasta QP foam wrap
Elasta QP mango butter moisturizer
Spray bottle with a few drops of Lottabody setting lotion-mostly water.

PICS REMOVED
I apologize in advance if these pics are too large. and if there are way too many.
Freshly rinsed hair

Ran out of flexirods so I finished up the middle with perm rods.

Results:

2nd day hair: (I stuffed it all up in a bonnet to sleep. kinda worked. i guess)


3rd day hair: stuffed it up in a bonnet again. the back got a bit reckless.


Ok, that is all. It lasted 2 days longer, but i stopped taking pictures. It basically turned into a big fluffy fro.
Let me know if you have any questions.

Those curls are gorgeous. Making me want to run out and buy a bunch of rods. I've been scared to try it but now Im considering it...

Very Nice. How long did it take to dry? I really want to try a flexi rod rollerset, but another poster said hers took 3 hrs under the dryer. I don't think I can sit under the dryer that long.

it probably took about 2 hours, to be honest. i just do some reading under there, and alternate between the hot and cool air so i don't feel like i'm being deep fried, lol.

i'd say it took about an hour and a half to put the flexirods in. they're very easy to use.

Okay 2 hours is a little better, I'll probably have to take a couple of breaks.
