so normally i wear my hair and wash and
0:02
goes around the holidays i wanted to
0:05
change it up a little bit and i want to
0:06
do a rod set and give it a little razzle
0:09
dazzle with some um curl color
0:12
i use the purple one from as i am
0:16
and i'm just gonna walk you through what
0:17
that process was like and it's kind of
0:19
where i messed up and
0:21
what i would do differently if i use the
0:23
curl color again
0:25
okay so first things first
0:27
wash day was um exactly the same i used
0:30
the same shampoo the same conditioner
0:33
you know i detangled with conditioner my
0:34
hair to prep for the rod set so that
0:37
part was the same where it changed was
0:40
whereas i would normally put my first
0:42
gel on after the conditioner i went
0:44
ahead and used a leave-in i actually had
0:46
the as i am leaving so i went ahead and
0:49
just you know put some of that on my
0:51
hair while i was in the shower
0:54
so then i sectioned my hair off and i
0:57
knew that like i wasn't gonna do my
0:58
whole head purple like i couldn't live
1:00
with the stress of prob of turning like
1:02
all my the colors of my shirt purple and
1:05
just getting purple
1:06
paint everywhere i didn't want that to
1:08
be a possibility so i had sectioned my
1:10
hair off and took out you know left some
1:12
smaller section off
1:14
where i would put in the
1:17
the purple color so i didn't put it in
1:19
the back of my hair at all i put it like
1:20
around
1:22
the sides and higher up just so that
1:24
there was no
1:25
chance
1:26
or minimal chance of color transfer to
1:29
my sofas and beds and all of that like
1:32
i'm too old for that i can't do that i'm
1:33
the one who got to clean it up
1:36
so
1:37
that's what i did that's how i sectioned
1:39
my hair off to put the curl color in so
1:43
once my hair was sectioned off the parts
1:45
that i was not going to use the curl
1:47
color on i use the mousse so i use a
1:49
styling foam and i loaded my hair up
1:51
with the style and foam wrapped that
1:52
around the rod
1:54
and that was cool that was pretty much
1:55
you know standard process
1:57
um for the parts that was putting the
1:59
curl color on
2:01
i did not put any mousse i
2:04
saturated my hair with the curl color
2:07
and i think that was one of my mistakes
2:09
like i was trying to really get in and
2:11
get that color payoff
2:13
but i put so much that it took my hair
2:16
way longer for the sections with the
2:18
curl color took way longer to dry
2:21
the sections with the with the mousse
2:24
so that was my first mistake i was way
2:27
too heavy-handed with the
2:30
curl color
2:32
i went back and i think it was mono's
2:34
hair was using it and she actually
2:37
set the hair first and then went back in
2:40
with that color
2:41
yeah so that was my biggest regret so i
2:43
dried my curl like i'm just so used to
2:46
knowing how long it takes a foam to dry
2:48
in my hair now that
2:50
like going and then just that feeling of
2:52
taking the roller down still not done
2:54
roll it down still not done i got stuff
2:56
to do but like i got you know these
2:57
sections with the hair color in it
2:59
that's not done
3:00
and
3:02
since i've been like on this consistency
3:03
with these wash and go's or just using
3:05
the phone when i'm not doing the wash
3:06
and going knowing that my hair is going
3:08
to and knowing exactly what my hair is
3:10
going to come out like i was a little
3:11
bit frustrated that
3:14
my hair wasn't drying
3:16
in the amount of time that i know it
3:18
should be drying
3:19
so i guess that was my one frustration
3:22
going back and looking at the video
3:26
the color
3:28
on the video because of the lights uh
3:30
that i used to record it looks much
3:32
brighter on camera than it actually is
3:35
in person
3:36
in person people didn't really notice it
3:38
was there unless i told them
3:42
so it wasn't you know as dramatic as it
3:44
looks
3:45
in the footage
3:47
if i had to do it over again i would do
3:49
two things differently number one is the
3:50
way i roll the hair i like to roll my
3:52
hair so that i get those corkscrew curls
3:55
you know roll it and then kind of roll
3:57
the roller over itself but that takes
4:00
longer to dry and when i was using this
4:02
heavy
4:03
curl cream that's one of the reasons why
4:05
i didn't dry i noticed that when people
4:07
do rod sets they just do like a
4:09
traditional roll just wrap the hair
4:10
around around the round around
4:12
without like doing that extra spin of
4:14
the roller so if i tried to to use this
4:17
curl color again i would do something
4:19
like that or maybe like mono's hair did
4:21
and put like the do the set it and then
4:24
go over it with the curl cream
4:26
but
4:27
the way i did it this time was uh
4:30
i made it work but it
4:32
it took forever to dry and
4:34
i think i ended up sleeping in the in
4:37
the rods which is something that i had
4:38
not done in a long time because like i
4:41
said i had it down even before i found
4:42
black girl curls i knew how to dry my
4:45
hair with a foam
4:46
and get it done i was using you know the
4:50
the attachment that goes onto the blow
4:52
dryer the bonnet one that works fine for
4:55
rollers
4:56
and that's what i would use to dry it
4:58
before i got my hooded dryer so i knew i
5:00
could dry my hair and not have to worry
5:02
about sleeping and rollers so it's been
5:04
like years since i had one of those
5:06
experiences where i had to sleep in a
5:08
rod thankfully it was only a few of them
5:11
but yeah i would definitely back off on
5:13
some of the products or even maybe apply
5:15
it after the
5:17
curls were set and then i was too
5:19
heavy-handed and the way i rolled my
5:21
hair on the roller was a no it's still
5:24
cute i made it work um i liked my hair
5:27
you know for the holidays but
5:29
those are the two things i would do
5:30
differently
5:32
so as always
5:33
thank you for watching
