How I Do My Flexi Rods
Saturday, May 05, 2012
I had a couple requests to explain how I do my Flexi Rod set. Below is a mini picture tutorial as to how I do them. Hope this helps :)
Step 1: Moisturize and seal with SCurl No Drip Activator and Wild Growth Oil. (Optional, use foam lotion for longer lasting curls)
Step 2: Section off the hair in two (back and front). Get 2 Flexi Rods.
Step 3: Wrap the hair around the rod as if you were wrapping a rope around your finger. (Do not use the Flexi Rod as a roller. The curls won't come out nice, this is what I noticed from my personal experience). Bend the Flexi Rod at both ends to secure the hair in place.
Let the hair set overnight or for 3-4 hours.
Step 4: Unravel and lightly separate the curls for fullness.
Results:


The front came out a little straighter than expected. I love the curls and the volume I get from this style. I only use 2 Flexi Rods because it`s convenient and easy for me to sleep in since the rods are at the back of my head, not the sides causing discomfort. I`m still perfecting it but this is the method I use.
Hope this help!!

ReplyDeleteThey definitely are! Pull them out girl and play around with them. You'll be surprised. Thanks for the compliment!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting. I will definitely be trying this. It's so easy, why not try it. If it doesn't work out I'll just clip it up.
ReplyDeleteWow, that looks great, and with only 2 flexirods?!?! I'm going to try it this week. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteGreat job sunshyne:-). I do mine the same exact way. It has been my go to style for the past few months.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the mini tutorial Sunshyne!!!! I can't wait to try this method. Your hair looks amazing! Such an inspiration!!
ReplyDeleteThis is something i have to try... can you have med length hair and still use flexirods ?
ReplyDeleteYou got alot of body w/ only 2 flexi rods, very impressive!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you. I just purchased flexirods and was a little clueless as to exactly what to do. You are so awesome!!!!(DanielleL on Hairlista)
ReplyDeleteWrapped around the flexi-rod like that, my hair might actually be dry when I take it down in the morning, that is genius! I am so trying this.
ReplyDeleteYour hair looks great. I usually do mine on 3 rods, but I think I'm going to try it your way, because the two on the sides when you're sleeping is definitely a bit painful at times.
ReplyDeleteSunshine thank you soooo much for posting this. I've been using flexi rods for a few years now and I always use them all over my head, like rollers. It has never curled right. I've tried your method twice now and my co-workers have been telling me how great my hair looks! Thanks again for sharing your awesome method! :O)
ReplyDeleteWow Ladies I'm so happy this was helpful!!! I adore this style so much because it's effort less. For those who already tried the style and are already getting compliments, I'm so impressed :) Happy Hair Growing to you all!!
ReplyDeleteOops my bad I totally spelled your name wrong in my earlier comment!! Sorry Sunshyne* ;-)
DeleteThis post has helped me out a lot. I haven't had success with my flexi rod sets. I think I will try it again.
ReplyDelete@NotYourUsualJaz- Please try it out. I do hope it works for you. I found this method the best. It took me a few years to figure this out. LOL. Good luck!!
ReplyDeletedoes it work with shoulder length hair, but my hair is not long in the front it is shaped to my face? I dont know what to do wiht my hair other than waering it wrap but I love this style just scare dot do it. And do I need to use a product?
ReplyDeleteI'm looking for exact this information that you've shared with us. you hair related blog is really amazing & I'm going to share with my online friends right now :)
ReplyDelete@Motherof3 - Yes it does work with SL hair. It will be a little shorter since the curls give a "shrinking" effect to the hair. You can adjust how tight you want the curls based on how you wrap your hair around the flexi rod. It's difficult to explain but you have to play around with it and see what works best for your hair. It's best to moisturize, seal and add a foam lotion (for hold).
ReplyDelete@haarverlängerung münchen - Glad this post was able to assist you! :) Thanks for your support.
beautiful!....anyway that you can make a video?
ReplyDeleteThanks hun! I'll keep that in mind.
Deletehi sunshyne... i thought munipulating ur hair is not good... so flexi rods r ok?
ReplyDeleteFlexi rods are okay to use. For the most part, they are safe to use often and gentle on the hair. Manipulation with the use of excessive heat is not good.

DeleteIt is pretty cool in my opinion that you can do this style with only two flexi rods! Do you think it'll work for my hair length? APL (not full APLthough).
