My UPDATED Permrod Routine Part 1 | CoolCalmCurly

so I wanted to bring you dogs an updated perm rod routine my last pair my routine was what like six months ago like I was a long overdue to bring you dolls and updated perm rod routine so that's what I'm doing now so my hair is already washed deep conditioned moisturized and sealed all I have to do is add my styler I already washed it deep conditioned it applied my leave-in sealed it with some jamaican black castor oil and as you can see my hair is already sectioned I have eight sections you guys know I always divide my hair in four and then I split each one of those sections in half so I have eight altogether and now we are about to put some perm rods in this thing now this video is gonna be more focused on my perm rod itself and not so much the products so if you do want to know what I use I'll definitely have all the products that I'm using today linked below but like I said I've already been moisturized sealed cleanse all that good stuff so we're gonna start to put these in now with my perm rod sets lately I've been doing really clean parts I take my rat tail comb and I do clean parts all over my head and by doing clean parts I noticed that my hair and my scalp does not have as much tension on it when your parts are all squiggly and it's a little bit of hair pulling from here a little bit of hair pulling from up here you can get a lot of tension on your scalp and the last time I did a perm rod set and I didn't have clean parts my scalp was literally aching so this time around I'm doing clean parts and I have definitely noticed a difference in doing that clean parts is definitely a key starting with the back so I'm gonna part this section in half clip that away I'm gonna apply my styler I'm gonna take my rat tail and go straight down so I have two sections it's a little extra water I like to make sure that it's nice and wet not damp I like it to be wet another thing I've been doing differently is using my detangling brush to smooth my hair and this has definitely given me a way smoother curl then I even take my fine-tooth comb and just go over the ends to make sure those are smooth to take my rod starting from where the string is I'm gonna start on that side and wrap it around and then begin to so starting with the string and I'm gonna put that make sure those bends are smooth alright then we're just gonna coil it upwards all the way to my root come on why isn't this going in okay split in half and then I'm gonna take my detangling brush and if I feel any bumps I'm just gonna take that fine-tooth comb and run through it just puttin this in half again my neck is like hurting so bad right now I'm looking at myself like yo why is your chin touching your shoulder so one section down I have eight orange rods now we're gonna move on to the front I'm gonna part this in half again thank you sure that's a clean part even if they're not exactly like super straight that's fine as long as your parts don't look like a mountain and it's not squiggly and up and down up and down you should be good so now for the very top section so these two sections I'm going to part and have once I have this in half I'm going to split it in half again actually when I do my perm rods I have them all going down this way but I noticed since my hair hit waist length the shape is a little off and I missed that volume that I used to have on top so when I do it going this way it's not as much volume on top and it more it just hangs down to the side of my head so I noticed that when I part it this way and just do everything going forward that's what gives me that volume up here without having to cut my hair I did start to lose a little volume because my hair was pretty much weighed down because of the length so I noticed that doing it forward like this definitely gives me that volume again front looking good so these three are coming down and then the very top section I have these four coming straight forward just dry it looks darker promise me just know what [Music] I rolled up when I woke up I took almost all of them out already the takedown is really simple finish taking these out so that we can separate and get these curls go in separating is really my favorite part that's when this all comes to life so this is what I'm gonna use to separate this is like my all-time favorite oil for separating my curls my braids out separating my hair period this is the perfect oil to separate with minimal for is I need a clip the way that I separate my hair now I take my time with it and I definitely separate the curls way more I'm gonna do it section by section so I'm just gonna start at the bottom and then work my way up and get my oil I'd use very little I use just enough to coat my hands so first I just like to run some of the oil down the curls shrinkage is wild like seriously but anyway take the curl and and I'm taking small pieces you see these pieces are not large at all normally don't like first day hair at all because of how shrunken up it is but separating it in smaller pieces definitely gets rid of a lot of that shrinkage alright so I just separated this one two three four did I really just do it that much too three four five six seven so I went from separating two to three times to seven times and this makes such a difference I'm gonna separate each curl at least four times you don't have to separate every single curl six to seven times depending on how thick or thin your hair is I would definitely suggest separating it at least four times also pay attention to what direction you're coiling your hair in on this side I am coiling away from my face but on this side I was coiling towards my face and I'm also separating my curls where they naturally want to separate and that's another thing that's gonna help you avoid as much force as possible you can see where it's naturally separating so that's a curl right there that's two curls right there see a gap right in here so just follow where your hair naturally wants to separate another thing that I do differently now instead of waiting till all the curls are separated I'm gonna start picking section by sections for the back I'm going downwards because I want that length and don't want all the shrinkage the few new steps that I do with my perm rods definitely made such a difference because I was this close to cutting my hair because it grew out so much that my perm rod sets just they weren't looking the same they didn't have the same volume my hair just grew out and seemed to be weighed down these new steps definitely kept me from cutting unnecessary inches off of my hair while still keeping my definition and the look of my perm rods that I like no towards my face right okay no you see how it's crinkled up that's how I know it's going in the wrong direction so I need to go away from my face and that helps so I'm going to go ahead and pick oil separate pick oil separate pick for each sections so once I get to these top sections the same way that I installed the rods where I showed you dogs how I have them coming forward is the same way I'm gonna separate them cuz this is looking so so good right now like come on these girls are looking they looking right they looking right over here okay curls like this make me feel complete all right curls like this Mike I don't know why I stayed away from perm rods that's for so long I honestly I'm not gonna lie when it comes to my hair I got to a point where I was obsessed with wash and gos I felt like that's what people supported I felt like the girls who had the wash and go and you know whose hair was just always in that perfect wash and go and had those perfect to be type 3 curls I felt like that's what people were giving their attention to I messed up by thinking that I need to switch my game plan and switch up what I do because of what someone else is doing and listening to myself admit that now it's like really girl like come on you should have known better no matter what you're doing no matter what field you're in this isn't just hair and Instagram but no matter what your what lane you're in you need to focus on your lane and what's ahead of you you busy put in energy into looking out other people and that same energy could go into bettering your business or your life or your career and don't get me wrong my wash I love my wash and gos - but what does Ann Marie like what does cool calm curly thrive off what do my dolls love to see they really went almost a whole month without posting and I was just trying to figure out what I want to do what do I like about my hair what do I want to do with my hair what type of videos and what type of content ideas do I want to bring to you cuz for a minute I did get caught up watching other people and comparing and that's the worst thing you could do the worst thing we could do is compare yourself and your struggle and your journey into someone else's because what's for you is for you and what's for them is for them and was for hers for her and was for him is for him and you can't focus on other people like why even waste the time and the energy you know excuse me if I'm rambling I'm just you know letting y'all know what's up and what's on my mind Wowz away for a while cuz y'all let me have it every time I stay away for too long you guys let me know y'all hit my snap my DMS but moral of the story is what's real is for you and what's for everyone else and what's for them is for them and what's for them is for them but it's also none of your concern if you take anything from this video besides how to do a bomb perm rod set know that know that comparison is the thief of joy and that you're only hurting yourself and slowing up your own journey and your growth by paying attention to other people I don't want to ramble make this a rant but just focus on you and bettering your craft and what you do and making it better and just being a better version of you and let everyone be a better version of them and that's that all right so everything is separated fluff well we're gonna fluff a little more but this is where we're at right now so now I'm gonna pick the top I'm starting right here see that I come all the way to the front and upwards I like to round it out a bit more - I don't like it to look so boxy so I'm gonna go back in and just pick down the shaft of my hair and that's gonna bring the shape out and round this out a little more for my bangs I'm just I wish I could feel it though my hair is so soft and moisturized I'm just gonna continue picking until I have the volume and the shape that I want cuz I don't only pick for volume I pick a lot for shape too so that's why I pull certain parts out to create that shape just one it rounds it out a bit and this right here is say one hair I am so in love so at night I like to pineapple with my satin bonnet but I'll get more into my night routine in a second it just came from inside so here is the finished look this is my day one hair but this right here this is day four and of course I recorded for you dolls I actually uploaded a week in the life of my hair where I show you exactly what I do every single day to get my perm rod sets to last the whole week so if you want to see that definitely click the cards above or you can click the description down below and check out a week in the life of my hair and I will catch you dolls in the next upload bye [Music] [Applause] [Music] you
