Failed styling attempts

So out of boredom I started playing with my hair the other day...

As I was rummaging through my shelves looking for some setting lotion.... I stumbled upon this.

This was my grandmothers old electric rollers had to be from the late 80s or early 90s. So I figured, everyone in the SL network is so jazzed about those Carusos, these cant be too much different, what the heck and tried them out. I pulled the unit out the closet and plugged it up... After the smoke settled (lol) they where warm so I put them in my hair and left them until they cooled and this my friends is how I looked after,

Not so hot.

But it got me to thinking if you are using steam/heated rollers on locks that aren't mature won't that retard/delay the locking process? Riddle me that.

So after that failed attempt and after rummaging more I found some small perm rods. I wet my hair and put it in 5 small pony tails and then applied the rods to the ends. I slept on this and went to sleep. The next morning I took the rods out and the curls were tight but cute because they where only on the ends. However my hair still looked sectioned from the ponytails so I figured I just loosen it up in the shower. Well when I got done it didn't look too different from my freestyle so posting pics wasn't necessary. Failed attempt #2.

So after another bout with boredom I decided to plait my hair and do a braid-out. I put my hair in about 10 plaits and put the perm rods at the very ends and left it overnight. That's the look I am wearing today. I like it but still doesn't look too different from my freestyle.

So I decided that until my locks mature I will just rock the freestyle (unless I get bored again). Because my hair has such a natural tight curl to it I figured it will lock quick and I'm extra paranoid that if I keep on playing in it it will only sow down the process.
