Hair Question- Rod set

Asante sent this in:
I'm an avid hair blog fan, and LITK is definitey one of my favorites (My hair wants to be just like Baby when she grows up haha)! I'm about 4 months natural, and loving every minute of it. My super coily hairl has a mind of its own, but seems to be a big fan of twist outs these days. However, I'm curious to try out something new...
I've been toying around with the idea of doing a curly set, with perm rods (my hair is about 3 1/2, maybe 4 inches in some places) and wanted to know if either of you or your readers had any tips/suggestions/examples i could work with? Try as I might, i can't find any vids on Youtube that feature either hair my length or curls my texture. (I added a pic to give an idea of what I'm working with.)
Help!!! Thanks a bunch in advance ladies!

I suggested a dry rod set on stretched out hair using aloe vera gel for hold because it will minimize shrinkage and show more length. What do you guys think?

I live on perm rods and rollers.

I use sponge rollers for springier curls and rods for just curls. Sponge rollers are hella cheap, but not as durable.

I have pictures too that I can post if necessary....

Oh and aloe vera gel is nice. Or a nice soft wrapping lotion like Lottabody or wrapping foam by Motions or Design Essentials. She can also twist her hair into two strands and then roll those.
