I try to keep my hair as healthy as possible and I always wrap my hair at night. I usually put four rollers at the top of my head for the "hump". But when I take my hair down, the hump falls flat and it looks terrible. A girlfriend of mine has her hair the same way but  she goes to the beauty salon every week and I cant afford that. When I so my hair I use KeraCare and Mizani products. Does anyone know how to keep my "hump" a "hump" without using spritz or harsh holding sprays?

I know that friend used setting lotion after she washed it and her "hump" pretty much stayed, I don't know if that helps Im thinkin if you just put it on there at night, it will stay without your har being hard.

I use setting lotion and wrapping but nothing seems to work. I have tried the holding spray but after I use it my hair feels hard and I like the soft feeling my hair has. I need something to keep my hair soft but still keep my hump. Any suggestions?

You use setting lotion on the hair and then roll your "hump"?

I tried the setting lotion, it works for the first few hours but then once I take my hair down for the rest of the day it goes flat. Same thing when I wrap it at night, when i take it down  at home it goes flat. Any other cures besides the setting lotion, can I use something else as an alternative?

Back comb a little bit , but you might not want to do that everyday. Maybe that style is not for you.

I agree with 1hairlover since the setting lotions and everything hasn't worked for you. But as she cautioned do not backcomb everyday that can cause breakage.

I might try it without the roller but do you think if I use a volumizer will the style last me or is it not worth damaging my hair?

When you wrap your hair after it's washed do you sit under the dryer? When I got my hair wrapped at the salon It was set all over with rollers and then wrapped once it was dry and the hump would stay all week with or without rollers.

I sit under the dryer and I do pretty much everything a salon has, I don't know what else to do. But I will try more setting lotion.
