For naturals who use flexi-rods.....

[MRJ1972]

How do you achieve your best results?

Do you blow dry your hair then use the flexi-rods?

OR

Do you roll on wet hair?

Do you use any product on your hair?

I am 4b and would like to try flexi-rods on my weave install and leave out for a flawless blend.

Thanks!

Use them on blowdried dry hair with no product. I haven't mastered wet hair yet.

^^^^ thank you! I never thought about this! I've tried flexirods on my wet hair and my hair ALWAYS ends up looking like a cheap jheri curl wig. I'm going to try it on dry hair and see if it makes a difference.

Subscribing because this is the next step for me. Just don't know how to use them yet. LOL

I'm natural and rolling hair on wet hair is not working for me. I have to do this on blow-dried hair with setting lotion.

Shtow had a wonderful tutorial on flexis that I tried and loved but my hair was blow dried and flat ironed--I'm not sure if that counts. I do have pics I can dig up, if interested...

Lurking... I've been wanting to try this for a while but wasn't sure how it would work on my hair

This was done on blow dried/flat ironed natural hair. I used about 6 or so flexis:

Right after I took them all out:

I turned my head upside down and finger combed it out:

I can't find Shtow's thread on flexis---maybe u can pm her...

wet setting really gives you a sleek look especially with straw sets, but I've come to realize its way too taxing on the hair. So the last time I did it I did it on blowdried hair and it came out really cute. I used a mixture of a little eco styler gel, a little aussie moist and a little curl activator and I got a nice soft hold.

This is cute!!!!

Cant wait until my "real hair" achieves this healthiness and length!

i usually use them on pressed hair overnight to give my hair some body, but i have tried them on wet hair before. i just prep my hair like i would for a normal rollerset (wash, DC, leave-in) then roll it. the only thing i hate is it takes longer to dry than magnetic rollers....

I'm transitioning but I use them on damp hair with Carol's Daughter's Hair Milk and my oil mix (avocado, coconut, and EVOO).
