hi welcome back to Christmas I promise
0:03
you guys a wash and go a perm rod set
0:06
and a flexi rod set and here we are with
0:08
the perm rod set that did not turn out
0:11
exactly how I wanted to but I'm just
0:13
going to go back to what that wash day
0:14
was like how we got here and what I
0:17
would have done differently to get the
0:18
results that I wanted
0:20
okay so first up shampooing
0:23
I shampooed my hair with kinky curly
0:26
come clean yeah I use a Strong Shampoo
0:29
so I'm pretty sure it was come clean
0:31
shampooed first would come clean I did
0:33
the olaplex
0:35
um three treatment I followed up with
0:38
the ladies first shampoo by the Dew I'm
0:41
not sure if I ever mentioned this
0:42
shampoo before but it is the lady first
0:45
shampoo by the Dew I find it a gentle
0:49
moisturizing so after it was nice to use
0:52
after a um cleansing shampoo after a
0:55
strawberry shampoo I had stuff that I
0:57
shampooed I used another product from
1:00
the Dew
1:02
which was this one sweetest thing and I
1:06
just use this to detangle in the shower
1:10
um I use this because it has a cone in
1:12
it and I like silicones when I do rod
1:14
sets I feel like whenever I guess to
1:18
keep things simple when I'm trying to
1:20
enhance my natural texture I tend to
1:22
lean towards more natural products when
1:25
I'm trying to smooth or do a manipulated
1:27
curl I like to put a layer of silicone
1:29
on there
1:30
um it also makes my ends a little bit
1:32
less tangly because I'm going to be
1:33
sectioning it and you know rolling
1:35
around the rods so I feel like it
1:37
reduces friction while during The
1:39
Styling process if I condition with a
1:42
silicone
1:44
if I could use a deep conditioner with a
1:47
silicone in it so normally when I'm
1:48
doing my wash and goes I want to reach
1:50
for something that has a silicone in it
1:51
sweetest thing was nice it's easier to
1:53
detangle my hair with a silicone on it
1:55
too so things were nice and quickly I
1:58
it's a deep conditioner but I just did
2:00
everything in the shower
2:01
um put it on comb through it and that
2:04
was the cleanse and condition was not a
2:07
product from the Dew
2:09
it was that um Camille Rose honey
2:12
leaving and I just put a little bit
2:15
um on my hair like just enough for
2:17
coverage like that thing is thick so
2:19
when you put on your hair like you can
2:20
tell that it's it's on the Strand or not
2:23
so I put that on my hair
2:26
um that has absolutely no slip
2:27
whatsoever so I just braided my hair
2:29
down because I wasn't sure if I was
2:30
going to get to the rod set right away
2:33
um braided my hair down and then yeah it
2:36
was a little bit I walked around thank
2:38
God the slap cap season so I was able to
2:40
throw those braids under a slap cap and
2:43
do what I needed to do until I got
2:44
around to the rod set
2:46
and for this Rod set I chose
2:52
the crazy sexy curl setting foam and I
2:57
want to make sure my hair was super
2:58
duper wet
3:02
so I pretty much just use a spray bottle
3:04
to spray my hair down as I was working
3:07
in here I had another product from the
3:09
do like I put like a very small amount
3:12
of um the texture chamber uh from the
3:15
dude the dude has a leave-in called
3:17
texture Tamer I watched it live and she
3:20
said she used to use that in the salon
3:22
for blowouts so I thought it would help
3:24
add a little bit of smoothness to my
3:25
hair so I added just a little bit to my
3:28
spray bottle as I was working through it
3:31
and I feel like I'm forgetting something
3:35
nope that's all I got for now
3:38
um so the set itself is easy like I can
3:40
move through a rod set pretty quickly
3:43
um but here's one of the things I messed
3:45
up on
3:46
originally my thinking was I went with
3:48
the if you'll see I have the footage up
3:51
I started with these small pink and gray
3:54
rods and my thinking was because it's
3:56
been a while since I had a haircut that
3:58
those using those smaller rods would
4:00
make the underneath Tighter and it would
4:03
help add some shape to my hair but they
4:06
were too small I should have used the
4:09
white size
4:11
so that's the first thing I kind of
4:12
regret like those those rods I normally
4:14
use at the end of my hair for like a
4:17
twist out because the end of my hair is
4:19
is tapered it's got those hidden ends
4:21
and it's not as full so putting that rod
4:23
on the end of my twist outs helps makes
4:26
them look fuller so that's why I
4:28
normally use those rods for it and
4:30
that's where I'm gonna leave those rods
4:31
unless I'm using the rods all that color
4:33
all around my head so anyway that was
4:35
the first thing I did which led to me
4:37
not getting the results that I was
4:39
seeking
4:40
um
4:41
yeah so with
4:44
and let's have a conversation about
4:45
Foams okay um real quick
4:48
the do products are very very
4:53
concentrated my hair has to be wet to
4:56
use them to use the phones
4:58
if my hair is not wet when I use either
5:01
moose stuff or even the honey foam
5:04
it gets to
5:07
dare I say crunchy
5:10
it has movement I I need water I need
5:13
lots of water in my hair when I'm using
5:14
the texture Foams from the Dew
5:19
when I want to do rod sets on dry hair
5:22
which is what I used to do most of the
5:24
time I would use
5:26
either this one which is a Sally's foam
5:29
and it's watery and it's not as
5:31
concentrated as
5:33
mustaf or B girl but on dry hair I like
5:36
it because it doesn't get as buildupy
5:40
and it was another one that I used to
5:42
get from a brand I think it's called
5:45
like icy Fantasia like I used to love
5:48
that foam it's getting harder and harder
5:49
to find I'm not sure why those two like
5:52
less expensive less concentrated foam
5:54
work better for me on dry hair
5:57
but anyway back to this set
6:00
so
6:01
I wanted to do this set on wet hair
6:05
with
6:06
you know mostly to do products like I've
6:09
used the B girl collection before
6:13
um I ended up not making a full video it
6:14
was just a short but I like the way it
6:16
moved it's it has a more flexible hold
6:20
than moose death but it's got memory if
6:23
that makes sense like it I feel like if
6:26
I was to
6:28
I was able to like pull my curls apart
6:31
you know what let me keep going through
6:33
the process I'm making sure my hair is
6:36
really wet before I go in with the foam
6:39
um it helps the water like helps it
6:41
spread and my hair it just works but
6:43
like it's that foam is concentrated I
6:46
need water so that's what I did so I wet
6:49
my hair down rolled it up and it looked
6:52
good like I was I was satisfied with the
6:54
results
6:55
um I sat under the dryer for an hour
6:57
when I took the rods out it looked good
6:59
it did look good
7:01
um the curls were bouncy they were shiny
7:05
they were good and I felt like if I had
7:09
the chance to
7:11
fluff out my hair and wear it that day
7:13
like I would have been set it was
7:15
touchable in fact it was so touchable
7:18
that I went ahead and Bantu put bantu
7:20
knots in the front because I was scared
7:22
that those curls would fall and then I
7:25
tied my hair down without like fluffing
7:28
out the other curls and just went to
7:30
sleep and when I woke up in the morning
7:32
I looked like a member of The Five
7:34
Heartbeats And I was okay with that I
7:37
expected that I expected My Curls to get
7:38
crunched um but again because this foam
7:41
has memory like it's not stiff but if
7:43
you pull it like the curls go back like
7:45
it's not going to you can move it some
7:47
without you know completely losing
7:51
the hold
7:53
I feel like it's probably some better
7:54
technical term for it but like it's I
7:56
can I can move the curls around and
7:59
still have some bounce and some
8:02
some
8:03
to the hair
8:06
even though I'm here it was flat
8:09
um I was able to like you know revive it
8:11
what I didn't like was that I lost the
8:13
form of the the rod set so like some the
8:17
smaller rods
8:19
um if you can see like you can see where
8:20
the smaller rods were like that still
8:22
has lots of definition the bigger rods
8:26
just kind of fluffed out
8:28
and yeah I wouldn't do it the way I did
8:31
it like that again so I would even go
8:33
ahead and just use the purple and the
8:35
orange rods all around or if I'm trying
8:38
to like first of all I just need to go
8:40
slow and get a haircut so I'm not trying
8:42
to manipulate the shape but if I was
8:45
going to use smaller rods those pink and
8:48
gray ones are too small to do what I was
8:50
trying to do with the like purplish
8:53
orange ones the next size down from that
8:56
purple one I think would have been the
8:57
white which I don't have because I don't
8:59
really use them anymore I keep the
9:01
orange and gray ones around like I said
9:02
for the end of my twist
9:04
but I don't really use the white ones so
9:07
if I was going to try to you know Forge
9:10
a shape in my hair with you know use the
9:12
smaller rods around the base
9:15
um I only went for the white ones
9:18
but like I said and it sucks too because
9:21
like I had done some I'm gonna do more
9:23
Styles even though it won't technically
9:25
be curls missed anymore because I I
9:28
liked my hair for Thanksgiving and I
9:30
liked my hair
9:32
um I had took my kids to go ride on the
9:34
Polar Express
9:35
um train ride in the area and I really
9:37
like my hair for that too of course I
9:39
ain't getting no pictures or any proper
9:40
pictures but I really did like my Styles
9:42
I did those days so I'm gonna try to
9:44
recreate them but that's the thing about
9:46
like trying to record a video because if
9:48
I have somewhere to go I probably won't
9:49
have time to sit down and record
9:51
everything that I'm doing so I kind of
9:52
record these on my less busy days if
9:55
that makes sense but normally when I'm
9:57
going somewhere I get it shaking another
9:58
thing this was maybe my second time
10:01
trying out the texture tamer
10:03
I don't know if I would do that again
10:05
um it's not bad but
10:08
just trying to get consistent results
10:10
because I had used B girl before I used
10:13
this like almost exactly how I
10:16
yeah so thank you all for watching it's
10:18
like two days before Christmas so I'm
10:20
probably not gonna get any more videos
10:22
in before Christmas but I will
10:24
definitely go ahead and do the flexi rod
10:26
set it just might be posted after the
10:29
new year but I got you and thank you for
10:33
watching
