Hey guys, don't mind the hair we've got sort of a mix of things going on here, as I'm testing out different techniques using heat, but I figured this would be an awesome texture to do a flexi rod set much like my perm rod sets. I get my best results if I'm starting out with dry stretched hair rather than wet so today, I'll show you how I cheat my flexi rod sets so to get your hair to look similar to mine. You can blow dry or if you want a heatless alternative click, the links on screen or in the description box. Oh and I finally trim my ends whoo-hoo, so I'm giving myself a side part and I'm adding a bit more dimension to my hair, using temporary hair chalk. Now I learned from my first impression of this particular hair chalk, but the second day color, is the best. So I'm applying it before I roll my flexi rods that way I'll get the color I'm looking for. As my hair setting now, I split my hair into smaller sections to keep myself organized so you're gon na need your flexi rods, some gel and a pomade, I'm using my DIY flax, gel and shea butter cream. So working one section at a time and back-to-front. I grab a medium sized section. I'M gon na take some flax gel, which is like extremely thick today. Totally reminds me of Nickelodeon gak and work it into the section then begin rolling. The hair onto the flexi rod now grab another medium-sized section and repeat a bit of gel work. It in then roll the hair onto the flexi rod, bending the rod down to secure in place now just repeat this process all over the head in medium sized sections. Just wetting the sections as I go with a bit of flex gel when I do rod, sets like flexi rods or perm rods. I find it easiest for me in my hair texture to start under. I stretched hair because my hair is so springy and curly. It just makes it easier for me to roll the hair, get my roots more sleek. It takes less drying time and it's a hundred times quicker to install. So when all the rods are installed, I just let them air dry, as I sleep so make sure you have a satin, pillowcase and head to bed the next morning and it's time to remove the rods. I was pretty shocked by how well the curls came out. This was by far my best flexi rod set today. I did have a bit of pooling at the ends of my hair, from the chalk mixing with the gel, but no biggie. So I carefully separate the curls and I'm making sure to feel where the curl naturally wants to part, so I'm not creating too much frizz. I love how the style turned out. Super soft and bouncy curls and the hair chalk did an amazing job at adding subtle. Highlights I'll definitely be doing this again, I hope you enjoyed guys and I hope you give it a try I'll see you in the next one click any of the links to the left for more easy, hairstyles and don't forget to come, say hi over on my Daily vlog channel to the right I'll see you guys there

Jay Luxx: Your Hair is Absolutely GORGEOUS!!!! I would love for my natural hair to be as long and healthy as yours!! #LOVE It
donna Jones: What 8 morons disliked this??? Seriously. This has to be the best flexirod set I"ve seen on YT (and I've seen a lot!!). Beautiful curls. Hope you went somewhere nice with that beautiful hair and makeup!

Camille Walls: This is so cute! I hope mine turns out like this when I try it out:)
Brown Girls Try Stuff: I love it! I just tried stretching out my natural curls with flexi rods by leaving them a little damp when I took them down. It worked pretty good!
Therapy The dream: This tutorial literally saved my life I love my curls
Cynlou1973: Wow. Your hair looks gorgeous in this style. I'm definitely trying this today. I hope I can get the rods to twist in the right direction. I've tried flexi rods before and didn't like the results but it's because of the way I twist the rods.
Miamor Harris: Watching this video is making feel real good my own hair and better ways I can take care of my own hair. Natural Hair rocks!!
Lampdee✨: I never use flexi rods anymore. They always pull too tightly on my scalp. I always use the old 80's style, pink sponge rollers :3 It costs like $1.50 for a 10-pack at my favorite beauty store & all its items for sale are 98% hair items. But I LOVE the finished results on your hair; just...beautiful!
Vivica Gene: I can’t wait to try on my own hair. You have gorgeous hair!
Kristen S. Redd: Love this!! Going to try it out! I just did your gel recipe
Naomi Martinez: I promise if I am able to achieve this on my hair, I would do it every day lol. I chopped off 85% of my relaxed hair around 7 months ago, and after having 85% natural hair, I damaged it with heat! When it's not one thing is the other..sigh. I finally left the creamy crack but then I caught myself addicted to the heat -.- . So, now I am trying to find possible ways to get NICE looking curls with no heat,anything but heat to make this natural yet heat damaged hair. And this looks beautifuul! Thanks for sharing, hope it works out for me lol
Ms RENO: your hair is soooo beautiful, this is the best diy flexi rod set I've seen to date!
