Styling with perm rods

Being natural is not a sentence to a life time of AFRO.We can also rock perms and curls like people with non kinky hair type. the trick is to find the right perm rode size suitable for your length and you are good to go....

Perm rods come in different shapes and sizes.

Each color code represents a different curl pattern. The best way to curl your hair is to use water and a fast drying mouse to retain your curls. I use lotta body fast drying mouse for natural hair . Especially if your hair is 4c, you do not need to add lots of products when curling your hair. Oil is a big no-no if you need it to dry fast.

So stop boring updo's and add some curls to your hair, you can experiment with different sizes and see what works for you.

Orange

The orange rods create large buoyant curls. Instagram beauty, @Naturallyjael, nailed it with her rod set using orange rods. She started on blown out hair and used 60 rods to create her curls. I don’t think her curls could have been any more awesome! source www.blackgirllonghair.com

White

White perm rods are very popular amongst natural ladies that have medium length hair. This is probably because the curl that the rod creates isn’t too small, but isn’t too large either. This natural young lady below is wearing a funky rod set. Her red tipped hair really makes the curls pop.www.blackgirllonghair.com

Gray perm rods seem to create the perfect curl. They are great for women who are between the TWA and medium length hair stage. If your hair is shorter, the curl will be a bit looser. YouTuber Kadijah Nicole used mostly gray perm rods with a few pink ones for this look. She has longer hair; therefore her curls came out tight and bouncy. source www.blackgirllonghair.com

Purple and Black

Black jumbo rods are the largest of the bunch and create the most volume for your hair. If your hair isn’t super long then you will definitely have less of a curl and more of a wave. If you have very long hair like instagram cutie, @Jewejewebee, then you will have beautiful large curls with tons of volume. She started her hair on wet hair and rolled her hair with purple rods. The purple rods are twice as large as the black rods. www.blackgirllonghair.com

Green

Green perm rods create less curl and more body for your hair. If your hair is short, I wouldn’t bother using them because they would only leave your hair with a slight bend. If your hair is long and you want a lot of volume, then definitely go for it! @Amber_belovely shows off her volumous hair after using green perm rods.
