Results of Roller Set
Jun 24^th, 2004 at 4:19pm

Not to be too outrageous, but I (with wife's help) tried using large rollers to achieve a smooth and wavy style. I know it may be a little unconventional for guys Undecided

but, what the heck, it worked great and I'm happy with the results. Wink

Kinda fun but time consuming.

I certainly wouldn't wear these to wash the car or go to the hardware store though. (HaHa) OK for gals, I guess, but I don't think the world is quite ready for guys in this mode, at least not in public anyway.

Here's a few photos:

Doing the set on these rollers is a real challange. It took over 1 hour to dry using warm setting on dryer.

I used a setting lotion to help wind the rollers. I don't reccommend this. It resulted in a somewhat stiff and sticky result and I think caused some damage during the brush out. Sad

(I won't do that anymore!)

Or better yet, try rag curls and sleep on them overnight!

Fantastic! As Rapunzel said, make sure the hair has cooled before unrolling, then don't brush out for about 10 minutes. This helps the curl set better. I've never been a big fan of setting gel, but I have used aloe vera gel (very lightly) on my ends to tame them when I did do a roller set.

Nice pictures and the wave turned out great! Males have a long history of sitting under curlers. Guys were getting perms back in the 70's. I had one myself (once). And two prominent 17th century astronomers Cassini and Huygens are in the news due to the Saturn reconnaissance missions that bear their names. Your like curls? Check out the ‘progress pictures’ for these two gentlemen:

Now, tell the truth... did you have to look up how to spell "reconnaissance?" ;)

Rag curlers are strips of fabric that you wind your hair around then tie the ends of the strips to hold the hair and make a loop. The more hair you put on a strip, the more relaxed of a curl you will get.

I frequently use 2 tube socks (clean, of course), put half my hair on each, roll them up and tie them and sleep with my hair rolled this way. I get nice wavy hair in the morning and my hair was not in my face all night!

(If you use the rag curlers with damp hair, the curl will be tighter, but be sure the hair is completely dry before unrolling.)

Give this a try and see what it does for you.
