Smuteralla - Honestly when I do a wet set (combining rollers and pin curls) I end up with a mad 'fro in the morning as well. I use a big paddle brush to relax it a bit and pull it down. I then coax the curls back in separate curls with my fingers. Then around my face I generally have to do some tweaking with a hot iron or I pin the weird parts back in a flower. I have found the magic for me is to start with dry hair, comb some water till its slightly damp and then spray a setting lotion and roll it. When my hair starts too wet - I have more fro action. Too dry and it only lasts a day, so I feel you pain.oh I am jealous of you all - i have been suffering with the pin curls terribly. if I wet set I get a big blonde afro, if I dry set they fall out. I just can't get it right.

I'm also stuggling with rolls.
How long did it take everyone to learn? I'm on three days now and I swaer I'm getting worse

..and I also wanted to show you this monstrosity:
That is my hair in its natural, unfettered state. And I mean state!

~*Red*~ said:Miss Hannah, again I love the hair!!! Even in it's "state"! hee hee! That was pretty funny. You are one beautiful lady. You really do have perfect eyes and brows.
You ladies are cracking me up with the fro talk.. although I do know what you mean.
MissHannah said:Well first off, thank you!
I did the back by gathering it like I was going to do a low ponytail, then putting a clip across the bottom of the hair and rolling it up over the clip until it meets the back of my head. Then I pinned it in place. It didn't stay in all day but my hair isn't quite long enough I think. It'll be easier when I've got more hair.
The lippy is the classic MAC Ruby Woo - it's the ultimate colour and stays put really well.
