I have used flexi rods on my weaves and on my hair just for curls or styling purposes, but I never did a whole flexi rod set on my or anyone else's hair, and I wanted to know how it would look on my shoulder length hair. I have several packs of flexi rods but I did not have enough of one kind to make a set so I went to my local beauty supply store and picked up about six (all they had on the shelf) of the blue 9/16 inch flexi rods they had. I had about 4 packs at home.
On Friday night, I used four flexi rods on the front of my hair (bang area) to see which direction I would roll them in (either towards my face or away from my face) and I also wanted approval from the boyfriend to see if this style would work- he told me to go for it.
Today I washed out my overnight pre-poo using organix coconut milk shampoo and conditioner, deep conditioned without heat for five minutes using mixed checks deep conditioner, and then applied my leave ins.
I turned the music up on my ipod and proceeded to roll my hair, using water and lottabody to keep my hair damp. I also used end papers on my hair and rolled up my hair. A TOTAL OF 60 BLUE RODS AND ONE RED ROD (1/2 inch) WAS USED. I stress this because of all of the videos I watched on flexi rods, no one really ever said how many they used. So once again, each flexi rod pack came with six rods and I used a total of ten packs plus one red one.
I then proceeded to stuff my big Medusa head under the dryer for an hour and a half to two hours (after an hour I took out some of the rods in front and they were still wet, while the ones on top of my head were dry so I removed them). Note: My whole head did not fit under the dryer so I just sat under it as best as I could.
Here's a quick video:
