The FabEllis Version of The Curly Fro

Hello Beauties!

When I first saw MahoganyCurls' Curly Fro video, I was immediately in awe of how beautiful her curls were.  I decided that that would be my holiday hairstyle.  So last Tuesday evening, I made up my mind to give the style a try.  I changed a few of the steps to achieve the hairstyle.  Keep reading to see how I achieved this style!


Check out how I achieved these results below:

1.  I washed my hair with Shea Moisture African Black Soap, conditioned with Tresemme Naturals Conditioner and used Finickey Leave-In Conditioner.
2.  I sectioned and detangled my hair.
3.  I took sections of my hair, applied EcoStyler Argan Oil gel to my hair and rolled it using perm rods from Sally's.
4.  I let my hair dry overnight and removed the perm rods in the morning.
5.  I pulled the curls apart, fluffed and done!

Maintenance

  • At night, I covered my hair with a satin bonnet and in the morning, fluffed with my fingers and a hair pick.




Note:  The only difference between what I did and MahoganyCurls' video was that I put the perm rods in wet hair versus dry hair and I used EcoStyler Argan Oil gel versus EcoStyler Protein Gel.


Even though my hair did not look like her's, it was SUPER easy to achieve and I loved the results.  Plus, this hairstyle is great for any length and if you are relaxed OR natural.

Would you try the curly fro?

God bless & stay fabellis!

  2. What size perm rods did you use? I'm new to perm rods and flexi rods...I keep seeing these posts about using them and then I end up getting overwhelmed with the size choices when I head over to Amazon!

  10. Love this look! How long did it last? I always have a hard time getting rod/roller sets to last for more than a day or two.

  13. No heat? I'm in, I love when you can get gorgeous style without heat! But what is a perm rod and where can I get them? Also, sleeping with them in, it's not uncomfy much? Sorry for so many questions but I'm excited to try this!

  14. A perm rod is basically a rod used to curl hair that typically has a perm or relaxer in it; however, it can work on all types of hair. You can find them at any beauty supply store, but I purchased mine from Sally's Beauty because each pack is on sale for under $2 with a Sally's card. Also, sleeping in them was a little uncomfortable, yes, but not too bad for me. :)
