I bought two packs of Snap-Around hair rollers when I went on holiday last year.
Each pack cost me .99p and had 10 rollers inside.
I prepped my hair by shampooing with Lush Jumping Juniper, deep conditioned with a mix of Mill Creek Biotin Conditioner and Body Shop Banana Conditioner.Then followed with an ACV rinse, Kinky Curly Knot Today Leave-in Conditioner and a heavy moisturiser. Bad idea. I shouldn’t have added the moisturiser because my hair refused to absorb it.
I kept trying to roll up my hair, but it kept getting stuck between the rollers! So after several futile attempts, I settled with installing flexi rods as can be seen above. I took down the flexi-rods and the couple of rollers that stayed on my hair the next day, and my hair was still slightly damp. On the plus side, I liked the volume from the damp hair and although my curls didn’t set, I learnt a lesson. NEVER buy rollers with ‘teeth’ or large gaps in between, they will only pull my strands and get stuck in my hair.

Your hair
Thanks love!
I have what I would call a negative association with hair dryers. They are hot, they make my ears burn, they take forever and they make me hot! **crying face** Maybe I’ll brave up to go under one, one day but for now, I’ll stick to waiting out two days for my hair to air-dry or using a hand held dryer.

That frooo <3 <3….Every experience is a new lesson..maybe you should have tried larger smoother curlers but the good thing is next time you know what NOT to do lol
That frooo <3 <3 well the good thing is next time you know what NOT to do lol.
Yes! Lesson learnt that’s for sure.

Same here. I tried it two back with a heavy moisturizer too and just rolled but nah…it came out looking like undefined Bantu knot outs. Next time I want to try it with a light leave in and a mousse or setting lotion
Definitely. Everyone has been raving about LottaBody so I may get that setting lotion.

I’m saving my last application of KBB sweet ambrosia for it
I’ve never thought of trying rollers. Maybe I’ll give it a shot.
The final look is still nice even though the curls aren’t defined.
Nigerian and Natural
Thanks love! I’ve got some new ones I’ll be trying out soon. Maybe they’ll be better and I can recommend them.
Fail or not that hair is everything lol
Haha! Thank you!!!
Yes that just happened to me with perm rods. The teeth pulled my hair to no end.
