Perm Rod Set II

Products used (for this set I used mainly grey rods) the bigger the rod the looser the curl. Pink spray bottle contains water, if you are using a water based product be mindful, the more product used the longer the hair will take to set. If possible avoid drenching hair. When I first started doing perm rod I would fail to achieve the desired  result because I did not have the time or did not allow it to dry properly.



Part hair in medium to small sections apply products, Twist hair around the rod starting at the end where the elastic is attached. I Left my hair to set over night, you can also use a blow dryer to speed up the process. For the take down add a small amount of oil to the hands ,gentle pull rod downwards.

 

After removing rods.Gentle separate ,to avoid frizz, oil hands and twist in opposite direction to unravel

Results 

Practice makes perfect, I have had many failed perm rod sets. Keep trying if the first couple of times you do not get your desired look, also you can use whatever product you have. As you can see from my picture the crown of my head was a bit frizz as my hair is most dense there and as such it does not absorb product as quickly or set as quickly as the back or front of my hair which is longer and lighter. Also have fun with it I often do fro hawks or a puff when my set is a little more worn. I hope you found this information helpful until next time.

Conditioner Review

Today I will be reviewing a few conditioners I have tried in recent times ,I will be accessing them based on price ,product performance  and result I will be using a scale from 5 hearts for excellent to 1 heart for poor. I do Hope that this is helpful ,feel free to share your personal experience with any of these products.(Prices are quoted in USD unless otherwise stated).

Aussie Moist Conditioner  ♥♥♥♥♥

Prior to trying this product I heard good things and I am happy to report,it did not disappoint.Great price at $ 4, leaves hair noticeably softer and  manageable.I love the smell of the product and to date I think this is one of my favorite conditioners.As a result I want to try a few more products from the Aussie line and when I do , I will definitely let you guys know how that goes.The only issue I have with this product  however is the fact that i've never seen it locally but if you can get your hands on it I promise you will not regret it.

Cantu Argan Oil Leave In Conditioning Repair Cream ♥♥♥♥♥

I have been using this product for more  than a year and this is by far my favorite leave in conditioner.It can be found everywhere that sells hair products and last I purchased I paid $ 750 (JMD) /and for the size 16 OZ I do believe it is a bargin. Great smell comes in two varieties shea and argan, I prefer the argan just because I have shea butter but I am yet to purchase pure argan oil.Excellent for setting styles ,hydrating and softening all in all a great conditioner and a jar usually last me for at least three months ,a little goes a long way.

Shea Moisture Jamaican Black Castor Oil Strengthen Grow & Restore Leave in Conditioner ♥♥♥♥♥

Shea Moisture is a excellent brand of quality products ,depending on your  hair need you are guaranteed to find something.It retails for about $11.99 however purchasing this product locally be prepared to spend about $2000 for 16 OZof product.It is a lot more fluid than your regular Leave in ,which I think is a result of the Castor oil, another excellent styling producing, with good ingredients.Also this conditioner does not need to be followed with oil.

As I am Leave In conditioner  ♥♥♥

This one gets 2 1/2 for me ,I like the product ,does what a conditioner should but living that budget life it is definitely not the best bang for your buck.8 oz of product for $ 10.39 with so many other good conditioners way cheaper.That aside the product is good and Ido intend to try the As I am line of products.

Creme Of Nature Perfect 7 N 1 leave In treatment ♥♥♥

Relaxed, damaged ,colour treated hair, if your hair fit any of these categories then this would be a good product for you to have .It claims to detangle and condition ,protect against heat,breakage defense, control frizz ,moisturize ,prevent split ends and add shine. and i think it does a fair job. Retails for 7.69 Can be purchased almost anywhere.

Queen Helene Cholesterol Hair Conditioning cream ♥♥♥♥

Queen Helene Is know for there face scrubs but yes they also do a deep conditioner ,as the name says its a Cholesterol so I only use this once on my third Jar ,good product,extremely reasonable about $ 450 (JMD) another product that can be purchased any where hair products are sold.
