I can’t believe I’m 4
weeks post already and my new growth is extremely manageable. Let’s dive into
how my wash day went.
[1] Scalp massage with Extra
Virgin Coconut Oil with a couple drops of peppermint oil
(warmed) for 5mins.
Applied EVCO on the length of my hair. On the last 4inches of my
ends I applied Creme of Nature Intensive Conditioning Treatment. From my review here
this is my preferred
product to pre-poo with after doing styles that may end up frizzy.
I rocked a
loose braid-out last week. I went under my heat cap for 20mins. While rinsing
out my hair my hair especially my ends felt so moisturized and silky.
[2] Shampooed with Crème of
Nature Moisture & Shine Shampoo
[3] Applied Aphogee 2 mins
reconstructor for 2mins and rinsed.
[4] Deep Conditioned with my
old faithful of Neutrogena Triple Moisture Deep Recovery Hair Mask for 40mins under my heat
cap.
[5] Wrapped my hair in a
Tshirt for 10mins to absorb the excess water.
[6] Applied my leave in’s of
Aussie Moist Conditioner, Herbal Essences Split End Protector
and sealed with
Hot Six oil. Since I was going out I put
my hair in 11 Flexi-rods and I
rolled it how I used too when my hair was much
shorter.

| Flexi -Rods |

| Conair Hooded Dryer |
I ended up not going out
anymore so I just left my hair and slept in the flexirods. Since the rods were
rolled differently it was easy to sleep in.
I actually left them in for another day since I wasn’t going out. The
rods were in for 2 whole days.
[7] On the 3rd day
I applied Hot Six oil on my palms as I unraveled the curls.

As you can see these curls aren't dropping anytime soon so I’m stuck at Neck Length for the time being.
Later in the day the curls set like if I had rolled them like a spiral which surprised me. I also like the fact
its not rubbing on my shoulders and the curls will last much longer. It’s nice
to let my hair hang without adding any tension of scrunches because I usually
bun or braid my hair. I’m hoping these curls last the entire week.

I'm still shocked as to how much curls rolling my flexi-rods this way gave me.
How was your last wash
day & Spiral or rolled right up: Which do you prefer for Flexi-Rods?
Be inspired...
That is really curly indeed! Its like you used small sized rollers! I would like to know how long they last!
ReplyDeleteThese curls held up for 5 days Yvonne even after I M & S my curls were still in place by 80%. I was able to wear my hair down the entire week.
Deletehave you stopped using the queen helene to DC, and the aphogee green tea restructurizer in your leave in? I don't see you mentioning it much. I have been on my HJ for just 21/2 months now and these two I want to make a staple. please advise . thank you
ReplyDeleteHey Stoney, I still use those products however I ran out. I recently just replaced them. The Neutrogena DC is great but alil pricey for the amount of product you get.
DeleteYour hair looks great, Tomi! I always just roll mine up--- never spiraling them. I think I'm gonna try spiraling them with the smaller rods next time!
ReplyDeleteAnd I've gotta try that Neutrogena Triple Moisture Mask when I get off my no-buy.
Thanks Miss Dre! That DC is amazing
DeleteGorgeous flexi rod set. I love the curls x
ReplyDeleteThanks Lesley!
DeleteGreat roller set! I definitely have to get more fexi rods to achieve a look similar to thus. I only use a few (6) and it give nice bouncy curls, but not spirals like yours.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing your set.
DeleteWow Tomes, you've truly mastered the flexi rod. Loving the curls a lot. I wonder what it looked like after a few days, did the curls get looser and bouncier?
ReplyDeleteLooking good girl, keep up the good work.
The curls started to frizz but not unkept looking. These curls barely dropped. Thanks Pegster!
DeleteCute! I can't wait to try flexi rods.
ReplyDeleteAbbi of BelowtheWaist
Your hair looks incredible! So shiny and healthy looking! I need to buy some flexi rods and give this a go!
ReplyDeleteThat Conair hooded dryer is just the kind of thing I've been looking for but didn't know existed. I'm going to have to google it. Love the curls!
