Here is a pic of my hair. What type rollers should I use?

[Je Ne Sais Quoi]

Hi ladies,

I'm about 1 week post (texlax) and want to try to rollerset my hair. Here's a pic of my hair when flatironed and curled on flexirods:

When wet my hair still has quite a bit of spiral curl to it in most places.

I want to start rollersetting but i'm not sure what size or type roller should be used based on my hair type (4a) and length (about apl). Any advice would be helpful.

Purple or grey magnetic rollers

Purple or grey magnetic rollers

Thanks for the tip! Is this what you use ajacks? Dumb question but what does "magnetic" mean? Will I need to secure them with bobbi pins?

It's not a dumb question to me since I don't know why they are called that either...lol. I use purple for the back and orange for the shorter pieces on the sides and front. Your hair looks a lot thicker and longer than mine so I think you could use the grey. I wish I could find the diameter sizes of each color.

I secure them with the metal clips, but I think that bobbi pins would work too.

I'm not sure but I just wanted to say your hair is beautiful! I love the thickness! Do you color it?

Thanks so much Also, Our hair is likely the same thickness i'd imagine. My hair doesn't get as straight with the flatiron as i'd like so it probably looks thicker than it is in that photo

See the difference in this pic?

Thanks for the link, even though it confused me even more with those extra colors. I have never heard of the red between orange and purple. I thought it was orange, purple then grey.

Thank you so much No, I don't color my hair, it's "just brown" and I think the flash pics that up quite a bit.

Your hair is gorgeous! That color is very pretty.

Maybe I have hair anorexia, b/c I still think my hair is the thinnest thing ever.

Jenny j/k your hair looks really purdy!

Nice hair! Grey probably for the center, and purple for the sides looks good to me.
