Twist & Curl for Beginners | Large Perm Rods + Gel Tips for Beautifully Coily 4C Hair 👩🏾‍🦱🇿🇦

Dumelang Sanbonani Lekae 🖤👩🏾‍🦱🇿🇦 Today we're creating a beautiful Twist & Curl using Large Perm Rods, but this lesson is about so much more than using gel. It's about learning to work with the beautiful nature of 4C hair. As 4C Gherlies, our hair is naturally and beautifully coily. That means our ends don't always wrap around a perm rod as easily as straighter, wavy or looser curl patterns—and that's perfectly okay. In today's episode of the Twist and Curl Series, I'm using gel, not to change my hair texture, but to assist it. 🎥 Watch the full Twist & Curl Series here 🌸:    • Twist and Curl using Perm Rods   The gel helps my beautifully coily ends wrap smoothly around the perm rods and stay securely in place while the hairstyle sets. Because here at My4ChairJournal, we believe in: 👩🏾‍🦱 Care, not Correction. Not changing. Not fixing. Not taming. Simply understanding... and giving your beautiful 4C hair the support it needs to become what it already is capable of becoming. Throughout this tutorial we'll also cover: ✨ Why I chose gel for this hairstyle ✨ Why larger twists benefit from stronger hold ✨ How to help your ends wrap smoothly around the rod ✨ Product compatibility ✨ Tips to help prevent flaking and stiffness Remember... What you want to achieve determines your choice of product. ✨ Accessories for my 4C Gherlies ✨ If you're interested in any of the hair tools and accessories featured in today's video, be sure to check out the links below.
