During my natural hair journey, I have done several perm rod sets on my hair. I did this one on my twa and I loved the results. I used Jane Carter's Wrap & Roll to set my hair.
Then in December 2012, I did this perm rod set using Qhemet Biologics & Taji's Aloe Jelly to style my hair on the perm rods. In both cases, the style lasted about a day because the hold was so soft and because of humidity.
This time because I understand my hair a little better, I used different products for my perm rod set. First, I understand that my hair has high porosity which means it loves moisture. This is detrimental to any sort of smooth curly style. So to minimize some of this, I used Giovanni's Direct Moisture Leave-In Conditioner instead of my usual Koils by Nature Shealoe leave in. The KBN leave in has glycerin which is a humectant meaning it draws moisture to the hair so eliminating this helped to maintain my style longer. Then I used the Koils by Nature Herbal Gel to set the style. Another thing that I did differently with maintaining this style was to sleep on a satin pillowcase instead of putting a satin bonnet on my head. The satin bonnet tended to just mash my curls down.

Day 1
Day 2 Hair - Hair was pushed up on the sides during sleep so it sorta stuck out in the morning but it fell into place during the day.
Day 3 Hair - Right above the ears was getting frizzy so I pinned it up a little to camouflage.
Day 4 Hair -I Pulled hair back slightly with a doubled Ouchless Hairband & then added this beautiful silk scarf to accessorize.
I absolutely love this style and the different looks that can be achieved during the week. I will certainly recreate this style again during my journey.
