What is a FARS?

[melhenderson]

What is a FARS? Please explain with details. Could a regular barrel curling iron or ceramic iron be used? Any information would greatly be appreciated!

I am a lurker who has greatly enjoyed reading the forums. The information is wonderful. Currently, I am 5 weeks post perm (last perm on 3/4/2006). Although my hair is in excellent condition, I am soley interested in obtaining great length. I have taken pictures of the transition since the last perm and will post them soon. Thank you.

Its a "Fake A** Roller Set" --- done with a curling iron rather than a head of rollers. Someone's album has pics of one they did-- I'm having a time thinking of who it was though.

Just go to my 2006 album and you can see pics of it

and sistaslick explained it perfect. I use a 1 1/2 or 2 inch barrelled curling iron and just do my whole head in spiral curls

Like in my siggy

WOW!!! I've been doing a FARS for years. Too funny!!! I have tons of pics in my relaxed album. I just hot curl and roll. Actually, this has always been my favorite style, but I'm laying off for a while, because I'm transitioning.

That FARS looks wonderful! This is the first time i've ever heard that term (lol).

Would you say that the curls last just as long as a roller set would, or do they fall out sooner? Did you use a holding spritz of some sort? Dang, I would try this, but I am paranoid of that direct heat. Maybe i'll treat myself to it one day.....

Bumping, cuz I know I ain't the only one wondering WTH Supergirl was talking bout.

I dont know why it is called a FARS. Why can't it just be called curls from a curling iron? It doesn't look like a rollerset to me.

Dang, I thought it was fierce A** roller set. That just made my day.
