I actually like this style on me. My hair is very soft and mainly frizz free. It is also very shiny!! Today is day 2 of this style and it is still holding up. I used 54 Flexi-Rods and 2 regular organge rods (I ran out of Flexi's).
What's funny is that shrinkage still found its way into my hairstyle (I know..It's never going away). I did a length check and saw that my hair is Arm Pit Length fully stretched in the back (shown in the 3rd pic). But once I let that curl go, it BOING'd back into place!
What I did to acheive this style:
- Co-washed and detangled with Herbal Essence Totally Twisted
- Deep Conditioned for 45 min with Pantene Pro-V Nourishing Moisture Replenishing Mask
- Sectioned off hair with 2 cross sections(Front to back and Ear to Ear) that gave me 4 sections to work with (Braid the sections that you are not working with)
- Applied ABBA Pure Gentle Leave In and DevaCare One Conditioner
- Twisted hair and sealed entire twist with Knuckle Butter (My Own Product)
- Spiraled twists around Blue 7" Flexi-Rod (diameter 9/16")
- Let air dry over night
- Removed Flexi-Rods and carefully pulled twist apart ~ while pulling apart I had shea butter on my finger tips and palms
- Pinned up the left side of curls with 2 hair pins
Have you ever used the Flexi-Rods? Please share your experiences.
Until Next Time,

beautiful results! it is so well defined, i will have to try this style too :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Todoni!
ReplyDeleteShare your results when you do!
I love the way this looks!! Thanks for sharing your technique.
ReplyDeleteThis style looks great! Do you think it will work on a transitioning head?
ReplyDeleteThanks Sheila!
ReplyDeleteDani,
ReplyDeleteIt would work well on a transitioning head. This style will help camouflage the natural hair from the relaxed hair. Let me know if you have any more questions.
Cute style!!!
ReplyDeleteI love doing this style on my hair. When I take out my rollers, I end up doing the "curly afro" look, and it's ultra cute.
Thanks Beautifully.COnjured.Up!
ReplyDeleteI am on my way to day 4 with this style and I think I will be doing the curly afro look on Thursday. That will be day 5! Yes!!
Thanks for the idea!
Wow! This really looks great! Nice job, hair looks healthy.
ReplyDeleteI love this style!! Must try this!! I need versatile, yet simple hairstyles and this is definetley one!! Thanks for sharing!!
ReplyDeleteI would love for you to do my hair....LOL
ReplyDeleteI've gone natural (2years) but doing the dominican blow-out. I would love to try this technique but most definately couldn't do it on myself. This is the first style I've liked... Thanks for sharing!
Thanks! You should try it over the weekend so that you will have time to do an alternate style if it doesn't turn out the way you would like.
