Flexi-Rods are a great way to create defined, bouncy curls without using heat. They come in different sizes, so you can choose the right size for the type of curls you want to create. Follow these steps to use Flexi-Rods to curl your hair:
Step 1: Prepare Your Hair
Start by washing your hair with a gentle shampoo and conditioner. Towel-dry your hair until it's damp, but not dripping wet. Apply a leave-in conditioner or styling product to your hair to help hold the curls.
Step 2: Section Your Hair
Divide your hair into sections. The size of the sections will depend on the size of the Flexi-Rods you're using. If you're using larger rods, you can divide your hair into bigger sections, and if you're using smaller rods, you'll need to create smaller sections.
Step 3: Roll Your Hair
Take one section of hair and wrap it around a Flexi-Rod. Start at the end of the section and roll the rod up to your scalp, twisting the ends of the hair around the rod as you go. Secure the rod in place by bending the ends together.
Repeat this process with each section of hair, working from the back of your head to the front. If you want more volume, you can roll the hair in the opposite direction on each side of your head.
Step 4: Let Your Hair Dry
Once all of your hair is rolled onto the Flexi-Rods, you'll need to let it dry completely. This can take a few hours, depending on the thickness of your hair and how wet it was when you started. You can speed up the process by using a hair dryer on a low heat setting, or by sitting under a hooded dryer.
Step 5: Remove the Flexi-Rods
Once your hair is completely dry, it's time to remove the Flexi-Rods. Carefully unwind each rod from your hair, being careful not to pull or tug on your hair. Once all of the rods are removed, use your fingers to gently separate the curls and create the style you want.
Step 6: Set Your Style
To help your curls last longer, you can set your style with a hairspray or other styling product. Spritz your hair lightly with the product and use your fingers to scrunch the curls into place.
Using Flexi-Rods to curl your hair takes a bit of time and patience, but the results can be well worth it. With a little practice, you'll be able to create beautiful, bouncy curls that will last for days.
