Since I sometimes use heat on my hair I can tell it still has lots of curl and shrinkage but is slightly more manageable than if I had skipped the heat altogether. I tend to think that this factor has contributed to my success with roller setting lately. The drying time is still the same but I can sometimes get away with using larger sections than I used to. I thought maybe I would put my theory to the test by doing a ponytail roller set using only a few ponytail sections. Instead of doing 4 ponytails down the middle (like a mohawk) and 4 more sections along the sides, I just used 4 large ponytail sections; 2 in front and 2 in back. I then split each ponytail in half and rolled each section. I also placed 2 individual rollers for the bangs. My new method only took 4 ponytails and 10 rollers which is much easier and still gave me great results.
Since my main objective right now is to keep my hair stretched this method will work just fine. It keeps my ends smooth so I don't have to worry about them knotting up on me. Not only that, it also takes a lot less time to get all of the rollers in. Now that I have this figured out I can use this method to stretch my hair before doing protective styles like buns and up-dos.

NOW: Fewer ponytails still worked fine |
