Flexi Rod Set.... But Give It Volume!! (On Stretched Natural Hair)

I ain't gon na lie girl. I can't front girl, i'm so proud of you. You kept it together, girl, after all, that you've been through. Look at you now good job at the graduation school. If nobody noticed the work you put in hey guys. Welcome back to my channel welcome if you are new, if you know you like what you see here today, make sure you give this video a thumbs up, chat with me in the comments below so y'all, i'm actually starting off this video with how my hair looks. Eight hours after the fact, so my hair does not look like this at the end of this video, but i love the way my hair looks now like how it uh i don't. I don't know how to put it, so i'm a little spoiler. Okay. At the end of this video, my hair was kind of wet but not wet. If you watch the video you'll know what i'm talking about and as it's dry throughout the day. It looks like this and i'm here for it i love it. It looks super cute, so yeah definitely better than the last time that i did this, because if you guys didn't know this is my second attempt um at it like i'm going on focus. This is my second attempt at this flexi rod set um the first time it was okay, it was nice, but again with even like, even with the first time as the day went on, i liked my hair more and more this stuff this time. I liked it as soon as it came out, but i was kind of worried because it was kind of wet and i didn't know how it was going to you know hold up throughout the day, but she held up. She did well so stay tuned for the rest of this video to know what products i used, how i did what i did because thanksgiving yeah - i'm definitely here for this and again yo. This is eight hours later, so you know immediately when it dried, which was probably like 45 minutes. Afterwards, it looked even better, but like all day, i've been like picking at it, fluffing it out so yeah. This is the aftermath of me having my hands in it, but yeah without further ado. We go and get right into this video, so y'all can see how i achieved it all right, you guys so i'm starting off on an old wash and set old soap press. Whatever you want to call it because, two weeks ago my hair was actually bone straight, but now it is a poofy mess and y'all for the past week i was going back and forth with myself debating whether or not i wanted to do this hairstyle on wet Hair or on a blowout, so if you guys watch my vlog, you know i just recently. Well, i didn't tell you guys it was a foxy rod set, but it was a flexi rod set um for kyle six months that shoot yeah. It was flexi rods and i recorded it and everything, but in my blog i had stated you know i wasn't too impressed with the way it turned out like i feel like it could be better. I wanted it more defined um, but ultimately, like it came together. It looked really nice in photos, so i have a photo shoot tomorrow and i kind of want my hair to look the same, but i want to see if i can kind of make it better like. I still want that volume i loved how big it was, but if it could be just a tad bit more than fun, you know what i'm saying, but i feel like it's one of the other. It'S not really. You can't really get definition and volume. You know what i'm saying in order to get volume, you got to break the definition. You know i got ta fluff out the pieces and all that, but i'm gon na try um, so i'm gon na redo that flexi rod set. Hopefully this one comes out better or the same, at least because again the shoot is tomorrow. So i don't got time. I don't got room for error, so um. One of the main reasons - i'm not doing it on wet hair, is because, like i said, the shoe is tomorrow it's at three o'clock and it's already nine o'clock at night y'all. So i don't want to take the chance of it not being dry, because i do not have a dryer that i can sit under and your girl just don't got time. Okay, i'll, take it out, it'll kind of be wet and then it'll get frizzy and it'll. Be a hot mess and give up my time so last time um, i did it. I used this olive oil foam, wrap lotion. This isn't a holding move, mousse! Well, it says: silky soft finish, shine body and bounce flexible hold, leaves hair, movable natural conditioning moisturizes and helps strengthen hair long lasting hold. I wouldn't really say it to hold. It didn't get my hair crunch or whatever, but i think that aided to why my hair frizzed up so much so this time, i want to use the blueberry bliss twist and shout cream by curls um. I know this is really good for like braid out and twist out and in a sense i would say this is kind of like a twist out because i'm twisting it around a flexi rod. You know what i'm saying i don't know, i'm just hoping again. This comes out either better or you know, looks the same, so i'm gon na start off by parting, my hair down the middle, even though, ultimately, it doesn't really matter because i'm gon na do that same little. Bang thing that i did the last time, because that's what really made me you know be okay, with the way my hair came out, because once i made that little bang it looked mad cute, i didn't even care that it was so frizzy. I felt like it went together, but um i forgot. What was the point of me even saying that y'all, i'm terrible i'll just be talking just to talk, but also the last time that i did this show i had the worst night's sleep. Okay. First of all, the flexi rods were super tight. Okay and i had so many of them they weren't flat. It was just it was. It was terrible, so i split my hair in half and then i'm going to i'm aiming to split these sections in half, but i don't know how accurate of a half split i can get. No, this is terrible um. So so this is half of that half and i'm going to take half of this half just a bunch of halves. Y'All. Let me work like this. Maybe i'll still add some of that mousse. On top, i don't know, i don't know i don't have. I have no idea how i want to go about this. I just hope again. If it's not gon na, come out better, i'm just praying that it comes out. You know, um the same way. It did the last time so boom. What i did the last time before i put product on i'm to practice, how i want to twist it because i normally work from the bottom. You know wrap it a couple of times to secure it, and then i was twisting it upwards like this, but i feel like this way kind of aided to why it was so tight. You know what i'm saying i don't know. I feel like it kind of ate, it's why it was so tight, but i was seeing on youtube. Some people were twisting it like. It was a um wand curler, but i'm like how would you secure it at the bottom, so i'm gon na try that way and see i feel like i did it this way once, but it was on wet hair. So, like my hair was easier to secure in the flexi rod like i mean it stayed and it's not tight at my root, but i feel like i shouldn't even play myself and i should just stick what i know and just try not to make it tight. So let's try this first one out together, i'm gon na start with just the twist and shout cream. I don't know y'all. Should i put the mousse in my hair? Should i not i'm using the mirror down here to look at by the way y'all? So i just put that product all in my hair, i'm trying to get a feel of the texture to debate. If i wan na i'm gon na add a little bit of the mushroom just a little bit, you got to move quick with it because, like i said this stuff curls up my hair and i feel like that's where i went wrong. The first time my hair was super puffy because it was kind of wet but like it wasn't wet, you know what i'm saying if that makes sense to y'all, so i'm starting by twisting it up from the bottom, and then i'm going to twist around like this And then fold back and fold the bottom, okay, not bad, so i'm going to do the same thing twist and shout cream and the mousse. I just hope i can sleep in it tonight and like it was so tight. The last time i couldn't even put a bonnet on it, that's why i went wrong too, like it was big and then it was tight, so my bonnet granite would have stretched over how big it was. But since it was tight, when i put the bonnet on it, it made it tighter and it just hurt, so i slept without a bonnet that night as well y'all, so that calls for extra frizz. I don't know y'all, but i'm i can't do this and not do anything else, i'm about to watch some youtube and i'm just gon na speed this up and play some music over it i'll. Do it one more time to walk you out through because i feel like that? Wasn'T really a good example like i can't really see, or should i just come back when i get to the front, because y'all can't see all the way back here, i'm just going to come back when i get to the front to give y'all a little rundown Of exactly what i'm doing again so bye, so all right, you guys so i'm at the top of this side of my hair, two things, one, i'm definitely working with a lot less flexible and it wasn't even intentional. But it's just something that i noticed um as i'm going the last time i did it. I had 26 flexi rods on my hair, y'all and y'all see what size my flexi broads is. I think these is like three-fourths of an inch they're big, so 26 of these i have 13 on each side right now at the pace i'm going. 2. 4. I have 8 on each side. That is like almost half 16 to 16. That'S 32.! Listen! It'S a significant um difference so and also uh. They don't feel tight at all. They feel like i'll, be able to sleep in them, but i'll probably have to sleep on my back, which is fine for me. Like yo, i couldn't sleep on my back. I couldn't sleep on my side. I was sleeping like this and i woke up and my mouth hurt because it just you know it was not it anyways yeah, so i'm at the top of this side. So i'm about to slow down and go back to explaining. Well, explain to y'all one more time exactly what i'm doing, because i feel like at the bottom. It was kind of getting cut out. You know you couldn't really see what your girl was doing. So when i'm part of the hair, i don't know, if you all saw me doing this, because i'm twisting to see if you know it's the same amount of hair or you know along the lines, since i'm only doing two parts it may seem like. I split it down the middle, but one side will still have more hair than the others i'm trying to get it as even as possible same amount of hair as possible. So, okay, i think this is as good as i'm gon na get so boom got my hair uh brush through it real quick and i'm putting a decent amount of the twist cream like i'll start off with this much and i'll probably add more. If i feel i need to and i'm focusing on the ends, but i don't want to get to the ends till like right before i'm about to twist um some of the ones that i had to take out and re go over the twist because, like the Um my ends are also pretty blunt, so that's what makes this hairstyle a little bit harder because my ends are going to stick out um. What was the point of me saying that i don't know but i've i put it on the ends last, because i don't want them to curl up if they're going to curl up. I want to be on my way to rolling it. So you know it takes the shape of the roll. If anything. So when i get the cream through, i use the brush to brush it through one more time i can put just a tad bit more at the top and then i've just been taking. Let me show you how much not even a full pump of mousse like about that much. You got to work fast, because i don't want my hair to start reverting back to its curls before i put the flexi rod on it. That makes sense to ya. I'M gon na brush the mousse through it too and then take this comb, so i can smooth it out as much as possible. Take this flexi rod to the very end, wrap it around wrap my hair around slow. This is also pretty hard because i have long nails, but i'm going to roll it up till that hair is completely tucked and then start twisting. So i'm going to twist and then, when i get up here, start rolling again and then secure it with the flexi. I mean secure it by bending it backwards and then bend the bottom, and this is what the top flexi rod right here looks like. So i'm going to do it again on this back side brush through my hair. Add the cream. I don't know you know. I have a good feeling that this set is going to come out nice, i'm really hoping we don't got no room for error and i'm just very you know happy that it's not tight and it's looking like i'm gon na. That'S really probably why i couldn't fit a bonnet over it. Y'All 26 freaking flexi rods like thinking about it. Now that was oh d. I did not need that much um that many flexi rods, but i guess also so since my hair was straight um, it doesn't seem as thick as it did um last time, because last time i had just washed my hair and then um blew it out. So it seemed a lot thicker, so i felt like you know the amount of hair i was putting on on each flexi. Rod seemed like much more back then. If that makes sense so yeah look. I can't turn my head to see this. I'M gon na have to look in the mirror to tuck this piece of hair, so y'all can't see right now, but ah and again, y'all see my hair is starting to curl at the bottom. So i'm just going to take this comb to smooth it out, because you want your hair to be smooth doing this. Okay, that's why i say work fast, but in the event you have a technical difficulties like. I am right now just take a comb and go over it to smooth it. I just felt like that could have been twisted one more time, so i went back and twisted that one. So i'm done with this side of my head um, i'm about to just do this side off camera because i'm literally going to just be redoing what i'm doing on this side. So y'all didn't really get catch that just play it back, because i don't want to make this video um too much longer. So i'll come back when my head is completely done to show y'all but yeah all right, you guys, so i am all done. Putting the flexi rods in my hair again in total, your girl got 16 flexi rods, which is 10 foxy rods less than i had last time and they're not too tight. I think i'll be able to sleep, not how i normally sleep. Like i normally sleep on my side. I'M definitely gon na have to sleep on my back or something, but as long as i can sleep, i'm content with that um. It didn't take me that long. It'S 10 o'clock now it did take me about 50 minutes and 50 minutes to an hour or whatever so yeah, even though um you know, i didn't actually wet my hair. I did put product in it which kind of caused it to be wet in a sense, but it's 10 o'clock now 2. 12. 15. yeah. I got 15 hours till my shoot, so i should, i think, i'll be dry by then, but yeah, i'm gon na be back tomorrow right before i take these out with my face. Beating everything get ready for my suit look y'all in the next clip yeah girl. Well, at the end of the next clip, because next clip i'm gon na, have my makeup done, but my hair ain't gon na be done yet, but at the end of the next clip when i take my hair down, yeah girl gon na be a baddie. I'M speaking into existence, but no ferrara. I think this is going to be a really good set fingers crossed and i will see you guys tomorrow, all right you guys, so it is the next day your girl is beat or whatever, and i'm ready to take these things out of my head yo. So a little update, sleeping with them wasn't as uncomfortable as it was the first time i did it, but it was still uncomfortable. Okay, especially since i was really tired last night and i didn't get to enjoy my sleep to the best of my ability, mind. Y'All kyle didn't wake up till like 9 30 10 o'clock today, so i really could have got a good night's sleep, but i did because i was uncomfortable um but time now it's a little after two. Like i said my shoe is at uh three. I was able to put a bonnet on my head also, so we're not seeing any fresh y'all. Last time there was frizz before i even took them down, so i just knew it was gon na be a bad set, but no this set is looking really good, but without further ado, we're just gon na go ahead and take them down. So i'm just gon na loosen um from both ends and just twist in the opposite direction that they were twisted up into i'm feeling to see if they're dry, they don't feel wet. They don't feel that wet they don't feel wet. They just feel like they have products in it. You know. Oh, it's kind of wet right here, and this is in the front. I'Ma take them down and then i'm not gon na i'm gon na go over them with a blow dryer a little bit, but i mean that looked really nice or whatever. Damn this is a little wet, but granted i did want a little volume. I just didn't. Want it too frizzy? So hopefully you know it being a little wet like that. Gives me that i don't know. Maybe i shouldn't have slept with a bonnet just so it was able to dry completely by air. You know with the bonnet on it kind of seals in that moisture. I'M gon na go over this with the blow dryer for a little bit before i actually separate them. So this is how this side is looking off the take down all right y'all. So i'm done taking them out. I feel like this is going to be my better side, which is okay, because this is my good side, my nose piercings on this side. My tattoos are on the side, so i'm mad at that this side i feel like. I might have twisted a bit too much like y'all, see how it's like that, but over here it's like this, so yeah and yeah. This side feels a little wet. That'S probably why it also looks a little thicker. Oh i'm all out of focus. I'M gon na go ahead and blow dry it just a little bit before i start taking it out because yeah all right, i don't have all day to be sitting here, blow drying and honestly, i'm not even mad. I feel, like it'll, add the extra volume that i wanted. I'M just going to go ahead and start taking them out this side, i'm going to like untwist and then pull apart. So this is what my final product looks like. I hope it's focusing i'm barely using any light because it is daytime, so it's hella natural light coming in from this side, but it's not bad, i'm not mad at it. Um the last time when i was just at this stage, i hated it like. I wounded up liking it because i did the little um bang thing was grabbing on my lashes. I did the little um bang thing, which i do plan on doing with it like this too, and this is how it looks, but even like with the bang thing, i feel like the bangs look better the last time. I did it, but i'm not mad at this, like it's cute um, the curls are there, but i still have my volume. What i'm gon na do is i'm gon na go use my other blow dryer. My actual one that you know looks like looks like a seven or whatever um, because this one's weird, like the heat, be blowing from up top, and i don't want to actually put it on my hair because it's gon na snag at the bristles, as it was Doing so, i'm gon na go dry a little more because it's like it's not wet, but it has product in it like you know how you fit your hair feels when you just put product in it. That'S how it feels like my hair is not wet so and it's not, you know as big as i would have liked, so i wouldn't be mad at since it's still a little wet if it got bigger. But these are my results so, like i said, i'm gon na go dry. It a little bit more, probably pick out a little more fluff it a little more and if i have time i'll, come back and show you guys that final result, if i don't i'll, probably come back when the shoot is completely over or i'll enter some pictures. But by the time you guys see in this video, i probably used a picture from the shoot to promote it. So y'all already saw the final final product but yeah. I hope you guys enjoyed this video. I hope you guys liked it. My only thing is again: it could have been dried a little more, otherwise, i feel like it would have been super nice and this side, i probably shouldn't, have twisted as much as i did, because i feel like this is my natural curl up here, like this Up upper part is my natural curl, because the flexi rod was not that um small, but that's in the back of my head. So i'm not tripping um. The back, probably look a little crazy. I got ta go, take the mirror because it was kind of split down the mirror, but in case y'all wanted to see, i'm gon na go like fluff that out and everything it probably looks so crazy y'all. Let me see it, don't look too bad, but it don't look as good as the front and the side but yeah. I hope you guys enjoyed this video if you did go ahead and give it a like for me chat with me in the comments below and if you haven't already of course make sure you are subscribed to my channel.
