| The Perm Rod Set: Corkscrew Roll VS Regular Roll |
I was inspired by Vlogger Bargain Princess to do my own hair battles and "which side" or "style" wins based on the process and how much I liked the style. So I thought I start with one that all naturals would like to know: Is it better to do a Perm Rod Set using the Figure 8 Roll or Regular Roll? Hmm, let's find out!
****The end results are based off my own experience. Yours may differ...
Before we start anything...Make sure your perm rods are clean!
First of all, I want to let you know the DO'S and DON'TS of having success with perm rod sets:
- Do start on freshly washed and conditioned hair
- Don't start on dry hair...start on damp for more definition and volume
- Do detangle with wide-tooth or Denman for less frizz and stretched hair
- Don't take out rollers before they are dry
- Do be light on your products used in your hair.
Products For The Perm Rod Sets:
- Flaxseed Gel
- Mousse (optional)
- Purple Perm Rods
- Denman Brush (for detangling)
The Corkscrew Roll:

HAIR WARS BEGINS!
Comparing The Corkscrew Roll And Regular Roll (In Rods)
For both I did start on freshly washed and conditioned hair. No matter which way I roll my hair, both are very uncomfortable to sleep in!
Comparing Corkscrew Roll And Regular Roll (Out)
The Corkscrew Roll:
Once hair was completely dry, I took out all the rods by UNSPIRALING them instead of pulling them out. Before separating, I used a bit of serum to create less frizz. I separated the curls twice for a fuller look and used a pick to lift the roots. This creates lots of volume for this style.
The Corkscrew Roll (Figure 8 Roll) does have lots of shrinkage, but gives me lots of defined volume. This style will last me 3 days to 5 days, depending on the products I used. I do need to be careful when spiraling my hair around the roller, because it can get easy to get caught on the rubber string on the perm rod. Also, I have to make sure to not do the parts small, because I will separate them after drying.
This set gives me lots of flair and I love the style!
The Regular Roll (RR):
When my hair was completely dry, I removed the rollers by UNSPIRALING. I did use a bit of serum to aid with separating my curls twice and used a pick to lift my roots for more volume and fullness.
