How do you air dry and have a smooth cuticle without roller setting?
Whenever I air dry, my hair feel rough and frizzy![]()

... Even though I moisturize and seal... What am I doing wrong... Please advise me in what to do
.... I do
tie it down with a silk scarf
TIA
Thanks for all the good input ladies... I have a few ideas to work with...
Today I am trying something new/different...
First I did a CW with Sauve Strawberry & Cream(used heat) for 10 minutes... My hair was silky... I did then rinsed and applied Sauve Aloe Vera conditioner(only because I know that Strawberries & Cream has Protein and my hair can be sensitive to Protein at times)... Then I did an icy cold rinse to seal that silkiness in... I applied my leave-in, Cantu Shea Butter and sealed with B&B Growth oil, mixed with some water... Well, my hair was super soft and de-tangled very nicely... I usually detangle in the shower, but decided to do it after the shower... When I air dry my back center never does right, so I put one big roller (purple size) on it... Then I did what Supergirl does and made a center part and took those sections and wrapped them in my silk scarf making sure they were lying strait/flat and then cross wrapped the scarf... I am sitting under the dryer now and I am hoping this will work, if not I will go back to roller setting.... Since my hair loves it so much
.... I have become a slave to my hair
... And if I want to retain my length and hopefully gain some in the future, I better listen to what my hair is screaming at me...
Sorry, for the long post and all the info... But I know some, if not all of you understand when it comes to managing our hair...
Thank you again for your replies...
I will let you know how this set works out...
Lady Z , are you just sitting under the dryer with a scarf on? I so that is a really good idea. You get the scarf making everything all smooth, and the dryer heat helping to seal the cuticle. And it would be less manipulation than rollersetting. I might have to try this method after my next wash.
I learned how to rollerset (trial and error) when I first came to LHCF and I still do it.I haven't found another way to get my ends smooth while airdrying overnight.
As I mentioned in another thread, I do use both the scarf method to smooth the top and sides of my hair and roll up several inches of the length (just not all the way up) with about 8 rollers. I airdry this way overnight and it's faster to do than the traditional rollerset method.
