Perm rod set: Need setting CREAM

[itismehmmkay]

So, I did a perm rod set on my transitioning hair.

~I love it~

I have to say that I was shocked this morning when I took the rods out b/c, I truly look like a natural-head. I mean, it really looks like I just did a BC, but with alot of new-growth and possibly 3c hair.

I do see myself continuing w/ this style. Next time I think that I will use a slightly larger rod in each area. Also, I need a something creamy to set with instead of the Queen Helen gel that I used. Though the gel was not hard, it definely didn't leave my hair moisturized.

Now, when I was natural (I've said this so many times), I used SoftTouch grease and Rave #3 mousse and acheived ultimate softness and curl definition. I'm thinking of going this same route again. Any other suggestions?



P.S. - I'll post pics this weekend, including the size of the rods I used.

The only one I can think of is the lottabody cream wrap. I used to use mousse which works very well but can be drying. I use a mix of setting lotion, lacio, salerm and a splash of oil and some water to mix it all together.
