Flexi Rod Set

Instead of doing the regular twist out, I decided to try something different.


Flexi Rod Set on Transitioning Hair

I bought a set of flexi rods back when I was transitioning. I was at the point where I couldn't wear my hair straight anymore because my roots were taking over!  I only used the flexi rods one time & the results were great!! Here's what it looked like, and here's what I used!











Looked good right?? And I didn't know half the stuff then that I know now, so I figured why not give this another whirl. I couldn't quite remember what products I was using during this time so I had to pick the products I thought would work best for me now. The products I used were:

• Design Essentials Curl Cleanser
• Beautiful Textures Rapid Repair Deep Conditioner
• It's a 10 Miracle Leave-In Plus Keratin
• Influence Natural Oil
• Beautiful Textures Moisture Butter
• Design Essentials Defining Creme Gel

I washed my hair as normal,  except when it was time to twist my hair, I put in flexi rods. For each section of hair I sprayed it with the leave-in conditioner, followed by a little oil, then creme gel, for hold. I then wrapped each section of hair around a flexi rod until my whole head was complete. Here's a peek at what they looked like. When I was putting the rods in, I could tell that I probably should have used setting lotion. Since I had just washed my hair, I didn't want to put something in there that I knew I would have to wash out before 2 weeks.

Here is the finished product! Overall, I think the it turned out great. The only problem I had with it was that it wasn't as polished as it could have been. It was very frizzy and didn't last as long as I know it can. It was also very dry. I tried to put moisturizer in my hair, but it was hard to do that without making it more frizzy than it already was... BUT, it looked good while I had it in.  What do you guys think??

After 2 years,  I still feel like a novice. I'm still trying  different things; still trying to do different styles and find new products that will l help me achieve certain looks. The main thing I makes sure to tell people is that this is a journey. I've never been too good at doing my own hair, so I think that hinders some of the progress I could be making, but the main thing I'm doing right is that I continue to try! You have to be confident about your hair.  People will always compliment you on your hair,  but if you don't like nobody else will either!!
