Something For The People

No, I'm not gonna bust out singing that ol school 90s jam "My Love Is The Shhhh!" lol. This little something for the people is just a few pics of me with my second rod set.


I have discovered that my beautiful curls should not be kept in for longer than a week lol I can't keep them for that long anyway because I have to wash weekly per my dermatologist. Hey, I'd rather have to restyle than go back on that horrid antibiotic/it-will-make-u-crazy pill. I'd rather be fresh and nappy than messy-nappy with acne haha


I tried something a little different for last/this weeks curls. Instead of just relying on the foam wrap lotion, I tried to use my Fantasia IC gel on parts that seemed like they'd need more help and staying power. Well.....it looked good for about a couple of days but after that, any head-scratch started a frizz frenzy. I officially stopped caring about that yesterday lol. But, the jig is up. It's time to wash again.


So.....it is up in the air as to whether I will do another set but use only foam again or if i want to finally invest in some Carol's Daughter products (the Hair Milk is calling my name! And the Elixer! And the Kizzi Pomade!) and try the set using those; or do one of my older styles with the new products.

I'm sure I'll have it all figured out by the end of the day, but in the meantime--here are more pics of the lovely me and my lovely hair :)

My First Rod-Set

Hola todos!!

Since I've been contemplating on what I should do with my hair for graduation (as well as other everyday options), I decided to go ahead and try my first roller/rod-set. I was confused as all get out on what to do but I took a few notes from a great youtube video that I've seen. I already bought a butt-load of cold wave perm rods last summer (packs of like 12 or so for .50 cent remember!?) so I had some sections of my hair covered. But then I remembered how some sections of my hair are thicker and unrulier than the rest, so I decided to invest in some flexi-rods. Best.....purchase....ever!!!! I had so much fun last night, but because I got a late night start I didn't get to go to bed until a little after midnight.

Now I've heard that wearing rods and stuff to bed is no joke and it makes it hard to sleep, but dang! lol I had to adjust my head a certain way just so that I can squeeze in some sleep (I had classes back to back in the morning waiting on me). I was so scared to see how it would turn out.........

I couldn't take a lot of time to manipulate and hook up my hair since I was pressed for time, so I only took out all of the millions of rollers--I'll have an official count later on--; but as soon as I made it to campus I staked out in front of a mirror to finish it off (I kept my scarf and hood on until I got in b/c those rings were not poppin at all lol).

After I finished, I was a little indifferent about how it looked. I wasn't used to the shrinkage, let alone shrinkage with visible curls. But my new style quickly grew on me.

I love it!!!

I'll have pics of all of the products that I used up later.
Have a great day!!
