Trying a rod rollerset with...Lottabody Setting Lotion

So I want to try some new things with my hair this year.  It's longer now, so I have more styling options.
I decided to try a rod set on my already blowdried hair.  After sectioning my hair off, I started with spritzing with aloe vera gel, then some Castor oil on the ends to comb it out.  I diluted Lottabody Setting Lotion with water 1 part/4 part ratio and spritzed 4-5 times on each section, I used end papers & the purple 3/4 inch rod roller.  I made sure to bend the rod so that the roots were pretty straight.  My hair was not saturated, so I am hoping it will be dry in the morning without hours under the dryer.  I plan to sit under the dryer for 1 hour only.  I'll be posting the results...I hope it comes out OK!

Lazy Daisy, Rockin Twistout For More Than A Week

So, Sunday is supposed to be hair day....BUT I DON'T FEEL LIKE IT!  I know I should, but my hair still is soft & moisturized, I haven't used a bunch of different products on my hair this week, so I was thinking....maybe, just maybe, I can make this work another 4 days for work this week.  To help with definition, I decide to spritz with Aloe Vera gel & re-twist my hair into about 12-15 chunky twists, put rollers on them to keep them stretched out while drying & rock a twistout, if I have to retwist on Wednesday so be it, at least I don't have to spend hours on my hair today. 
Here are my results:

Looks like my 2 or 3 day twistout, which is a-OK with me for the time saved!

Trying a rollerset

While thinking of what & when to do my hair for the upcoming week, I decided I wanted to dry twist my hair, but I didn't want to use any heat.  I had decided to do this on Sunday. 
However, I really wanted to wash my hair Friday night (not really sure where the overcoming need to wash my hair came from)...while running my bath water.  All of a sudden, it was like I JUST HAD TO HAVE A CLEAN HEAD.  I figured I would just dunk my head & shampoo my hair first, before I would put my bath salts and such in the water.
This actually worked out really well for me.  I leaned back and submerged all my hair, then shampooed with Giovanni 50/50, then rinsed with my handheld sprayer.  I was so glad my hair my clean!
Afterwards, I put on an ORS pack & a baggie and left it on overnight.  In the morning, I rinsed it out.  I applied Giovanni Direct for leave-in & castor oil to seal.  I did a quick rollerset (30 minutes) and let it airdry.

After my hair was dry, I decided to do some twists for a twistout.  I misted with aloe vera gel & did about 12 chunky twists.  Here are the results:

Outcome from blowdried hair

It has been quite humid this week, but my blowdry has lasted in the best shape, especially given I didn't use any anti-humidity products.
After taking down the bun, I decided to do a low puff with the assistance of a few bobby pins.

Then later in the week I decided to do about 10 chunky twists, misted with aloe vera & this was the outcome:

Aloe vera as styling gel

Well, being the temperature here was about 92 with high humidity & a lack of firm hold styling product, my beautiful twistout expanded and frizzed out & up. Not horribly frizzy, but enough that I knew I couldn't rock it for 3 more days....

So I decided to bite the bullet & retwist. I applied something to help hold & define, since we are expecting over 50% percent humidity the rest of the week. I decided on aloe vera gel, since i just got a big bottle delivered.


It came out very nicely IMO, a definite improvement....What do you think about it?
