Over the past few weeks I’ve developed a love affair with perm rods on natural hair. For months I would see tons of pictures of gorgeous curly perm rod styles and wonder if I could achieve the look as well. How hard could it be, I thought to myself. I’ve always been the type of person determined to do something once I put my mind to it so, after watching a couple of videos I figured I would go ahead and attempt the style myself. What did I have to lose right? If I didn’t like the results, I could just turn it into a super cute updo. Thankfully…I was successful! To help you achieve this fabulous look as well, here are the best perm rods tutorials on natural hair from a few natural hair vloggers.
1. First up…for all the tapered cut beauties here’s a video by Sadora Paris. I love her videos. Short, sweet and easy to follow.
2. Up next a very detailed video by @NaturalHairStyling for medium length hair.
3. I love this tutorial by @ChroniCurls, she has a great view of the back of her head as she installs the perm rods. Her method also includes two strand twisting each section as a way to ensure the roots are smooth and take down is easy…smart!
4. If you are wondering how to get the perfect look with longer hair, here’s a great video by Romance (@HeyCurlie) detailing her steps. The result: a perfect wand curl effect.
4. And last but not least….here’s a great tutorial by Janae Mason (@nae2curly) if you want to start your perm rods on straight, blown out hair. Personally starting with dry hair is a bit easier to me but either way works well as you can see.
Hope these were helpful! Here’s a few pictures of my successful perm rod attempts.
