Wash Day | Flexi-rods Using the Horseshoe Method…

While sitting under my hooded dryer with my deep conditioner in my hair, I looked at videos on youtube on various ways to do flexi-rods set. I know you’re saying but Tomes you already know how to install flexi-rods. Don’t panic, I knew I wanted to sleep in the rods and rollng them straight up, will mean my hair will take forever to dry and my ends may not dry due to the amount of times my hair will go around the rods. I stumbled on the horseshoe method which would have been perfect for what I wanted to achieve.

The horseshoe method is simply placing the flexirod in a horseshoe which is an upside down U. Split your hair in two. Wrap one half of my hair from the roots to the ends on one side of the flexirod, then wrap the other half of your hair on the other side of the flexirod. Bend the ends of the flexi rods to secure your ends.

The products I used for the flexirod set was Crème of Nature Strength & shine leave in conditioner, CON Foaming Mousse and my moisturizing mix to make sure my hair was saturated with moisture.

I wanted my hair to fall in the spiral motion and still able to have a good nights rest and this method definitely let me achieve the look I was going for.

I took the flexi-rods out with coconut oil in my palms to add some shine.  I was short for time for church and didnnt take the time to separate the curls properly. Ah well, I thought it came out cute but its a lot shorter than I expected.

I usually prefer my curls to fall on my shoulder because it looks awkward when its chin length.  Did you wash your hair recently, join us and share your wash day experience over at Savingourstrands and Justgrowalready.
