My Last Perm Rod Set

So here it is - the photos of my last perm rod set. As you know, perm rods were my favorite way to curl my hair. Yes, I even preferred them to those bendy sticks everyone loved awhile back. At this point, I have to make a change; here's why: 1. Perm rods are great if I'm at home and can sit under the dryer. BUT, they are horrible to travel with (they take up too much space in the suitcase), and depending on the climate of my destination, there is no guarantee that 5 hours will be long enough for my hair to curl!!! 2. Perm rods are almost impossible to sleep on. 3. Once the band that attaches the perm rod to its cap breaks, it is near impossible to put it together again. 4. Perm rods are cheap, but the bigger the rod size, the fewer that come in pack. 5. After twisting my hair and pinning it in bantu knots, I'll never go back to the perm rods again! So, my next post will show before and after photos of the new styling technique I've come to depend on. Until then, here is the after photo of my last perm rod set!
