Caruso Roller Set

Okay so I got my Caruso Roller set (bargain £18 from Ebay) and it creates curls using steam, so it is not direct heat, does not damage the hair and can be basically used everyday. So here are my tools:
 (L-R): Carrot oil (which I seal with), Elasta QP design silk spray (heat protector/holding spray), wide tooth comb, Caruso steamer (the rollers are placed on top) and Elasta QP mango butter moisturiser.

The Caruso steamer came with rollers of 4 different sizes. I used the jumbo rollers:

Sorry, about the pictures I can't rotate them :/
I then tried the smaller rollers:

Results:




These curls actually lasted 24 hours, so I am pleased with the results. I left the rollers in for about 20 minutes and then took them out. Definitely a great/quick way to curl your hair especially as it doesn't use heat or doesn't involve you sitting under the dryer for hours. I'm pleased with my Caruso.

The Weekend...

I relaxed my mum's hair with Organic Root Stimulator No-Lye relaxer in normal. Why couldn't my hair turn out like this? :( I based her hairline with vaseline before hand, detangled and seperated into four quandrats using hair sectioning clips, started the timer and began applying the relaxer. After we neutralized about 4 times, applied a protein treatment and blow dried.


My mum did ask part way 'why have I not applied the relaxer all the way to the ends of her hair?' I love my mum but smh. NEVER apply relaxer to already processed hair especially if you're self-relaxing. I tried my Caruso roller set just as a trial.

(my undeprocessed roots :( )

Good results but the curls lasted about 30 minutes , so obviously I need a holding spray. The set was very easy to use! Next time, I'll use the smaller rollers to get a better effect.

My next post will most likely be about my corrective relaxer on Friday 28th January!
