Achieve tight, defined, long-lasting curls with the Annie Cold Wave Rods Long ½ Inch — the professional-grade perm rods trusted by stylists and home users alike for consistent, salon-quality curl results. Engineered with a curved barrel design, flow-thru vents, and a center-narrowing shape, these ½-inch white rods deliver even solution saturation from root to tip and create beautifully defined curls with natural-looking body on all hair types — from fine and straight to thick, coily Type 4C natural hair. Whether you're setting a traditional cold wave perm, a spiral set, or a heatless curl style, Annie Cold Wave Rods give you the control and consistency your stylist relies on, right at home.

• Flow-Thru Vents for Even Saturation: Built-in flow-thru vents allow perm solution or moisture to penetrate evenly from root to tip throughout the entire setting process — eliminating uneven curl results and ensuring consistent wave formation on every rod.
• Curved Barrel with Center Narrowing — Tighter Root Definition: The large curved rod shape narrows at the center to create a tighter, more defined curl at the root for long-lasting results with natural-looking body — the signature shape that delivers professional perm results at home.
• Textured Surface & Rubber Band Hold: Small ridges and a textured surface grip hair firmly to prevent slipping during the setting process, while the included rubber band secures each rod in place throughout the entire perm or curl set without damaging the hair.
• ½" Diameter — 12-Count Professional Pack: The ½-inch diameter creates tight, defined ringlet curls ideal for short to medium hair lengths — 12 rods per pack provides enough coverage for a full head set or targeted curl sections on longer styles.

Style Tip: For the tightest, most defined cold wave results, wrap each section of hair around the rod in a consistent direction — always away from the face for a classic look, or alternating directions for a more natural, multi-dimensional curl pattern. Apply perm solution generously through the flow-thru vents after rolling and cover with a plastic cap to trap heat and accelerate even saturation — this dramatically reduces processing time and produces more uniform curl formation from root to tip.
