Tonight I am going to try a flexirod set with some flexirods I bought months ago and have never used.
I would like to know how to maintain the set for a few days without having my hair look like a birds nest, without manipulating it too much either. My hair is not long notwithstanding (see avatar) and its thinnish, I don't know if this makes a difference.
Also any tips from veteran flexirod setters would be appreciated as well.
Thanks in advance!

1 thing I started doing when I grew tired of rolling my entire caput was to necktie a scarf effectually head and have the back hanging out similar when girls habiliment bandannas. I'd then only put rollers in the part that was hanging out. When it was dry out I'd throw on a headband when I needed to get out. A head full of curls with less work.
One other thing, I don't know if y'all'd like this look since I see very few pictures where people actually finger comb their prepare. When I take my flexirods out I always fingercomb them. The outcome is a await similar Oprah's been wearing her hair as opposed to the Shirley Temple await. Only some other option.

Thanks girl. Your hair has grown A LOT in since y'all started in Dec 2004! Congrats!!Do you call up you've been able to retain this length because of the flexirod sets?
Practice you take whatsoever recommendations for actually doing the rollerset?
Have you ever airdried it?
Thanks!!
I recall I've been able to retain length considering of less estrus(just sitting nether dryer) and better habits(like deep conditioning weekly). Flexirods were definitely a function of the equation. They saved my life!!!!! I literally did them every week from Mar or April 2005 until earlier this yr.
I airdry with flexirods alot and sometimes I'll sit nether the dryer for about 20 minutes at low to med heat to speed up the process. Results are pretty much the same.
When I first started I would simply role my pilus downwardly the middle(near i/2 way) and put in 4 rollers on each side of the role and and then do the dorsum. I eventually went to putting 6 rollers on each side for added fullness. I also eventually started using the next size downwards in the back because it but made the whole set fall and then much smoother--remember i finger comb mine--.
Rolling is super easy, merely grab a section wrap it around the roller every bit with regular rollers at to the lowest degree i full revolution and so slant the roller and continue going upward, I then bend the ends so that the roller ends up looking similar a C in my hair.
It'south really hard to mess up a flexirod set and much easier than a traditional fix.

Tips for flexi rod styles...
I've composed a little question/answer on how I flexirod my pilus based upon some of the responses I've given to others. Hopefully this tin help you if you decide to perform this style.
Q. Can I use flexi rods on wet or dry hair?
A. Personally, I flexi rod hair that is wet. Y'all can practise it on dry out hair equally long as yous saturate it with some type of setting balm.
Q. What products should I use?
A. The products that I use are Lottabody setting solution mixed with a little Suave hairspray (the 1 that comes in the spray bottle). I started mixing the setting solution equally opposed to spraying your hair subsequently with hairspray so that the curls can hold longer and not leave a flaky residue. I've also discovered that Motions setting balm a works really well. It detangles and adds sheen to the curls which leaves gorgeous results!
Q. How do I roll the hair around the rod?
A. This manner is fairly easy to do and it'due south amazing how well the hair sticks on to the rod. If your ends are the type that unravel speedily, I recommend wrapping your ends around starting time, and so twist a piddling more hair around your ends to secure them then they won't unravel, and then begin rolling in a spiral motion until y'all reach your scalp. In order to hold down my new growth I tend to twist the flexi rod around one more fourth dimension to make certain it's taut enough. Finally, I bend the finish of the flexi rod to secure that section of hair.
Q. Which is amend, air-drying or sitting under a hooded dryer?
A. When drying your hair you lot can do a mixture of hooded drying and air-drying! I believe you should always sit under a dryer for sometime because it speeds up the drying process. If yous plan to air dry, permit yourself plenty time for your roots and the pilus on the flexi rods to dry!
Q. How practise I maintain this style?
A. From my experience with wearing curly sets, sleeping with a scarf just flattens the style; however, it works for others. Before I become to bed I simply clip the curls up with duckbill clips, spray on some oil sheen, and call it a night. Occasionally I may habiliment a scarf. In the morning all I have to do is take down the clips and fluff out the curls over again --- they've nonetheless stayed intact during the nighttime!
Q. What happens if some of my curls flatten?
A. You can reset a curl if it looses that tight curly expect. Just brand certain when you do, you don't spray the rest of your curls with the setting solution that you employ because they'll go limp likewise.
