    This is an interesting method. Most tutorials I've seen (mostly on kinky/coily natural hair) people start from the ends and roll their hair up into the rod (which you did towards the end of the video lol). This also helps the ends stick to the flexi rods. Perhaps another method for someone to try. I've never had the patience to do flexi or perm rods on my own hair (do you see my afro in my picture?!), but always love the results when I see other folks do it. And Amanda's hair turned out great!

    I’ve been curl transitioning since may, I’ve also recently started using flexi rods and may I honestly say they work so well, it really helps my curly hair and helps reduce frizz and if there is anyone attempting to try this curl training technique definitely give it a try, it does wonders and helps when you have a mixture of patterns in your hair! 😁😁😁

    The trick to this like when you used it is to make sure its dry. I have been diffusing my hair lately with the trick that once I think its dry, I continue to dry another 10 minutes. Its been working well. I'm so inpatient when it comes to the timing of drying. Thanks for giving me hair confidence!

  • @RockinLocks4u
    @RockinLocks4u 2 роки тому +2

    I started using those type of rods over 25 years ago...have always loved them...but I wrap the ends first to lock them in place under the first rotation...or sometimes if the hair is apt to fly away, I use papers just like a perm....and also, I do smaller sections with the larger rods and larger sections with the small rods, this gives a more even curl throughout the head

    I’ve been using flexirods since May of 2020 and what I found helps is twisting it at the root first (like a two strand twist) and rolling it into a ball after you’ve wrapped the hair. I go to bed and take it out in the morning and most of the time it’s dry!

After my years of straightening were over I tried the rods on the pieces around the face that would not curl. Worked okay but my technique was far off from yours. I may try this again. Missed TT last week, so glad you are both back! Happy New Year! 💕

    Seriously if I ever had a good hair day, it's because of ur amazing guidance!
    You teached me almost everything I know about curly hair and styling it. It wasn't just about the techniques, I loved that you always explain the science behind everything , also the ingredients and how they work. This knowledge is what I thrive for tbh😂❤
    You are the first and only person that I recommend for all my friends if they are starting with their curly hair journey. I'm so grateful for you and Amanda, the amazing channel that you have, and the wonderful, delightful personality of yours❤
    Thank you mell❤
