Beautiful.I've finally purchased some setting foam instead of using a oil and leave in to roll my hair... I liked the results... Not to different from my other sets.... I used about 60 of the "cream" colored perm rods and sat under an hooded dryer for 1 hr and some change....

Styled in the pic would be 2-3 days... And it the curls start to get "smushed" lol I'll style in an updo previously posted for 1 week... But I found a new method to save curls with pony tails and I'll see if it works. The Youtuber had shorter hair than me So I'm hoping for the best!!!

Washing tomorrow. For some reason, I'm not looking forward to it butttttttt I'm trying to be cute for the weekend since we will be taking a road trip and I know I won't have time to do it Thursday or Friday.

I'm so over these braids! But I need to keep them up for another month to get my money's worth. I've been so used to not styling my hair I've stopped wearing makeup and dressing up. Idk why I do that when I wear braids. Styling my hair gives me that oomph to doll myself up.
A month is long enough to have braids right

@Dalisha, your perm rod set is nice! Great work!
What brand foam did you buy/use? Sixty rods, did you take a snack break, while installing them?
Normally I use the orange perm rods and use about 30/40.... But I wanted a smaller curl so I use 4 packs of the cream perm rods and then some.... I roll pretty quick with my special technique... I simply roll under... The other ways are too complicated lol...
I went to Sally's and purchased the proclaim setting foam.... (Again, never used foam until today... So didn't know where/what to purchase... )
I will only use that many when wanting to obtain smaller Curls

Pre-poo'd overnight with ST Power to the Pre-poo.
Cleansed and DC'd with Kenya Moore poo and mask. I set with LRC Shake & Go, SSI Coco Cream LI, and GSO.
I used 15 of the 2" French rollers to set. They're a MHD certified hit! My dryer time decreased by 15 mins. I'm quite pleased with the purchase!

Have a safe and fun trip! Thank you for blessing us with blow out hair porn, before you leave!
Are you staying at a Disney Resort Hotel?
How long did it take to do the blow out, on all of that hair?
ETA: I see you're still crack-a-lackin
It took about 45 minutes to stretch my hair. I did it in 16 sections. I used the it's a 10 leave in to protect my hair.

Okay now that my arms don't hurt I can actually post. While blow drying took less time than setting and sitting under the dryer, I definitely get a better stretch from setting. I do think my hair is more detangled from blow drying, so IF I were to straighten my own hair I would blow dry first. However, that's a big if. I think realistically I'll leave the straightening to a professional. I don't think I have the patience to get it as straight as I would want it, at home.

I have been using a rat tail comb but I used my new brush last night and I think that helped. However I don't want to make it a habit using this brush. I'll post a pic of it later I've never used anything like it before.
Do u think oil makes it take longer to dry? I haven't been sealing on wash day but I need to start.

I only oil the ends and just lightly. In curlformers I think my ends dry first so they need the extra help. I don't add oil to all of my hair because it does take longer to dry and my curls fall faster.
