Hair still damp from my shower (however, not the ends, which seem to dry much faster than the rest of my hair), I start to apply the rollers. I used nutri-ox 'poo and conditioner at my roots, and john frieda bb on the length... then applied a tiny bit of coconut oil to my ends when I got out.

I was pretty excited that I had to stretch my arms as far as they could stretch to start the rolling :D
(notice the small bald spot at my temple...it used to be much bigger but has shrunk now that I've been using nutri-ox for 6 months)

Hehe, all in. Now I just have to wait...

This is what I used a light mist of all around my head while still in rollers. I waited about 2 hours for my hair to dry all the way then sprayed a little.

And this was the result

Looks much fuller...

Overall, pretty happy with the result. ;)


I'm typing this and it's been about 3 hours since I took the rollers out... during those 3 hours my hair endured 100% humidity (it was raining all morning), and a chiropractor's office, and it's still looking a bit fuller than usual.

The process was time consuming so it's definitely something I'll save for special occasions. Since the rollers have foam in the middle, I can sleep in them, but definitely not good for the neck... I'm going to try sleeping with just the crown of my head rolled up instead of all my hair next time and see if that works okay.

Love it! I always get a good result with my rollers but I'm way too lazy to use them :p I definitely will now that you reminded me how good the hair can look with them!

How long did it actually take you to put all the rollers in. I would love to do this to my hair but if it is going to take too long I am not going to bother making a trip to Sally's.

It took about 10 - 15 minutes to put them in... probably would have taken less time if I weren't fussing with them trying to get them in just right... hehe.

It was surprisingly fast and very easy... something I'm definitely going to continue doing from now on!

*update* It's the next day and I lost 99% of the volume... but my hair has a nice smooth texture to it. Still definitely worth the effort! Going to try not using hairspray next time because I dont' think it helped much anyway.
