I used about twenty-five small skinny perm rods for her style in perticular, so if you prefer to rod your entire head you will need at sixty. “The lighter the product the less process” ,as I always say.

Take the roller and beginning at the end roll the hair in an spiral upward motion (that is if you want a stretched curl look). Continue that process until you reach the stop. Now, here is where we switch it up. Nobody likes that old skool roller set look. We don’t want the roller set to be noticeable so here’s how we avoid that. Instead of having the section grow across we are going to have it coming down. So grab a section making sure it is tall in height and small in width and roll it up.
