Quick And Easy Install Trick! — Natural Hair Care

How to curl your hair without heat and preserve the style. I'm also going to try a wet set with these same flexi rods in a week or two so hopefully I'll have another way of setting my curls to prevent single strand knots If any of you have been following Minimalist Beauty for awhile you know how much I love wearing my natural curl pattern.

Just be preparing for longer drying period if you choose to begin with wet hair. Also, the way your hair is wrapped around the rod is important — because you can come out looking like Shirley Temple if its too gathered. 1. First up, great video by Mini Marley for installing flexi-rods on transitioning hair.

1. Flexi rods do not require any heat. I adore flexi rod sets and do them at home. I haven't been too successful with flexi rods unless it was on braids or twists, but I'll definitely be trying them again within the coming months. Curling irons use heat, which can damage the hair in the long run.

The one-stop solution to have bouncy, tight, or loose curls, without heating your hair, is to use flexi rods. I ordered your Herbal and Scalp conditioner pomade, not as a styling product but to tend to my scalp while I had my hair in a protective style (faux locs).

It was becoming apparent that using flexi rods on wet hair is more time consuming than starting dry. There are two rolling techniques I use with flexi rods.

Take Rods Out gently making sure to avoid causing frizz then take a wide tooth 4a hair comb and style hair to the desired look.

The size of the flexirod will determine the size of the curl and finally allowing hair to dry completely is necessary to stop frizz. I've watched a lot of videos and the best flexi-rod results are those that include a water based product such as a foaming lotion or gel, followed by a cream or butter product, which works as a sealant.

In case your hair is all dried up yet clean, you should gently mist your hair with water to dampen, but not soaking wet. I scooped my hair on top of my head that night and while the curls didn't keep, my hair was still textured and happy the next day. As mentioned, I began using Flexi Rods before I decided to go natural and when I relaxed my hair I tried to stay away from using too much product when styling.
