The fact that your hair is thick is why it comes out so nice. I have to try that lotta body to see if that sets without being hard. Thanks for the tutorial. Love your hair.
Hii Mattie thank you so much! 🥹 I remember transitioning and it was an up and down journey but so worth it. I’m glad that my video gives you hope 🫶🏾🥰 You got this boo 💕
This video was a helpful refresher for me. I haven’t done flexi rods in a minute but I did them tonight cuz I’m going to an event tomorrow. I hope they come out good 🤞🏿
@ it came out soooo cute! I had a silk press so my hair was already straight & then I blow dried it before I put the rods in. I learned that it being blow dried is a major part cuz I didn’t blow dry it 1 time and it came out terrible lol
Aww thank you Rachelle!! 🥹🥰 yes try it and let me know how it comes out, you got me cracking up @ “I gotta manage my expectations” 😂😂 you got this just do what feels right you know your hair best 😌 Thank you for watching 🫶🏾
Aww thank you! And as far as heat, I did blow dry my hair a little and put the plats in my hair you see off camera. I think I mentioned that in the video, I just want to be transparent with all the steps I took to achieve this look! 🥰
What about when you shower? I tried the flex rods once, trying a heatless alternative method to curl my natural 4c hair. Took them out the next day, wrapped my hair in scarf and showered, only to get dressed removed the scarf to a frizzy semi curled afro😮. Any suggestions before I try it again?
Oh wow really! When I sleep I just put my hair in four “pineapple pigtails” and I wear a bonnet. When I shower I just put my shower cap on top of the bonnet that I slept in. My shower cap is thick though, 😭 with the stretchy elastic band around it like a bonnet not them clear ones lol! and my hair is usually good with that. Maybe try that, but in general I feel flexi rod sets last longer when the curls are tighter and on blown out hair. Sometimes I’ll use a flat iron and do like one pass. I like how that one came out too. I’ll have to do an updated video! 🥰 I hope this helps, lmk and thank you for watching 🫶🏾💕.
How do you get it to last a few days? like when you sleep do you put a bonnet on? Do you put it in a certain style? like what can I do to make them last when I go to sleep
@ heeey and I typically put them in 4 loose pig tails and a bonnet or I put it in a loose pineapple with a bonnet. Unfortunately I think this is one of those styles that doesn’t have longevity. You smh have to touch them up with the flexi rods every few days. Once I figure out a better method to preserve this style I’ll definitely post it! I also have a short showing how I do the pig tails. It should be labeled how I maintain flexi rod curls and it’s one of my popular shorts. I hope this helps! Thank you for watching ♥️
Yesss I’m so glad you did this because I’ve been meaning to ask as well!! I tried once and chileeee…..I haven’t tried again since! 😂😂😂 Ima try again and follow what you did. So beautiful!
Hey babe Thank You! 😊 and yes I was the same way 😩 but I kept trying and looking at different ways people do it and I came up with this for my hair. I hope it works for you ❤️
Heeey thank you so much!! 🥰💕and as far as the amount of rods you use, I think it just depends on your hair texture. If you have thinner hair, you prob won’t need as many rods etc.. Also it depends on how big you want your hair. If you want bigger hair, I would use less rods because the more rods you use the more defined it is and more tamed if that makes sense? Lol I hope I do 😅 Lastly it’s all trail and error. It took me a few times before I figured out the way I loved my flexi rod set to look and how big to make my sections. Definitely reference my video if you want it to look similar to mine but you know your hair best so keep that in mind as well. lmk how it comes out! Thank You for watching 🥰
Thank You Shamika! 🥰 and I don’t mouse the roots because they will not be as smooth and it won’t give that polished look more stretched look. I’m sure mouse on the roots are fine for some textures or if you are going for the tight look throughout the style but “ion like dat” 😅
To add, 4c hair moves towards moisture. Our roots are usually the last portion of our hair to dry. Because of that, the hair will shrink and you will lose the length of the style.
Yes I understand, I usually just add a little more mouse to the ends and use a tail comb to smooth it around the flexi rod. When it comes to bending it so the hair stays, sometimes I have to change the direction on the bend so my hair stays in place. Does that make sense? Maybe I will do another video addressing more in depth some questions I have been asked over time in the comments. Lmk :) and I hope this helps 🫶🏾.
Yes I did blow dry it and leave it plats for 2 days so it is extra stretched. I thought I mentioned the blow drying part but I only mentioned having the plats in it looks like. I just changed to title to reflect that, sorry about that!!
Hey girl! Thank you 🥰 and yes I blow dried it like a day or 2 before this and put it in plats. You don’t have to but I find that it come out more sleek when I let my hair sit for a day or two before doing the flexi rod set 😌
Hey Jaymi I’m sorry that the lotta body left your hair crunchy! 😫 Have you used other foaming mousse? Sometimes we have to use different products but the same method if you get what I’m saying? Or maybe not as much product depending on how much you used. I would try switching out the products to see if it comes out better. 💕 What is your texture like?
When I go to bed typically I just pineapple it with my silk scarf and then put a bonnet over it, but I will say that is probably not the best for making it last really long. When I put it in 4 even loose pineapple pig tails 2 in the front and 2 in the back it seems to last longer. I’m working on the best method for preserving this style, when I figure one out I will definitely post a video about it! ☺️
You have natural 4c hair? Cause it looks a lil too straight for me. Did you blow out or relax it a lil? Because no way 4c could just do that so easy.😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Yes my hair is 4C and I did blow dry it and leave it in plats for 2 days so it is extra stretched. I thought I mentioned the blow drying part but I guess not. I just changed to title to reflect that, sorry about that!!

Heey Milly and thank you so much boo! 💕 are you thinking of trying it out ?
The fact that your hair is thick is why it comes out so nice. I have to try that lotta body to see if that sets without being hard. Thanks for the tutorial. Love your hair.
Thank You girl! Yes please let he know how it comes out and the lotta body doesn’t leave me crunchy at all. I hate when it’s crunchy 😩😂
Your hair looks beautiful. I’m in the transitioning process from relaxed to natural. This gives me hope in a protective style for natural hair.
Hii Mattie thank you so much! 🥹 I remember transitioning and it was an up and down journey but so worth it. I’m glad that my video gives you hope 🫶🏾🥰 You got this boo 💕

How long does it last?
This video was a helpful refresher for me. I haven’t done flexi rods in a minute but I did them tonight cuz I’m going to an event tomorrow. I hope they come out good 🤞🏿
Oh good!!! Lmk how it turns out❤ did you blow dry your hair first? Or was it stretched? Thats a key part of it.
@ it came out soooo cute! I had a silk press so my hair was already straight & then I blow dried it before I put the rods in. I learned that it being blow dried is a major part cuz I didn’t blow dry it 1 time and it came out terrible lol
@ yeees! I’m so glad it came out good 🥰, with our texture if you want “that look” we need a little heat to help, I don’t care what anybody says 😩🤣.
This is beautiful, your complexion and all is beautiful❤️

@@quettaj tysm♥️
@@yanderecay No problem 🥰
Beautiful ❤… Just curious to why you don’t add mousse to your roots? Maybe that’s what I do wrong!
Thank You Shamika! 🥰 and I don’t mouse the roots because they will not be as smooth and it won’t give that polished look more stretched look. I’m sure mouse on the roots are fine for some textures or if you are going for the tight look throughout the style but “ion like dat” 😅

@@shiasm8899 precisely 😌 thank you for elaborating 🥰
@@quettajDid you blow dry your hair first, before you did the plaits??
@@cristenmoore8238 hey girl! And yes I did

@@t_dear ok I will!!
Beautiful❤️
Thank You! 🥰
Love this!
Thank You so much!! 🥰🥰
Thanks for this tutorial. The only problem i had was getting my ends to lay down and stay in place
Yes I understand, I usually just add a little more mouse to the ends and use a tail comb to smooth it around the flexi rod. When it comes to bending it so the hair stays, sometimes I have to change the direction on the bend so my hair stays in place. Does that make sense?

Came out so beautiful 😍
Hi beautiful! Thank You so much 😍🫶🏾
Sister it looks so good! 😍
Thank you 😋
im trying this for my prom tmr🙏
Aww it will be so pretty! 😍 ✨ have fun at your prom 🫶🏾♥️
How long after this style, do you wash your hair ?
I wash it like a week and a half after, with the foaming mousse being old in the hair.
Just gorgeous ❤
Thank You T! 😍💕
Cute 😍
Thank You! 🥰💕
is this hairstyle sweat proof?
can i work out in it without it poofing up
If you sweat a lot with natural textured hair, it’s going to puff up, some more than others depending on the texture.
From Kirahs most recent vlog ❤️❤️❤️
Hello my love!! 🤗 🤗💕 thank you for coming through 🫶🏾🥹🥰
Girl this is happening within the next few days and I’m tagging you!
Yay! I can’t wait to see how yours turns out 😍
I subscribe 🙌🏾 beautiful hair 👌🏾
Hi Archer Family thank you so much! 🥰🫶🏾
Did you stretch your hair before putting the rods in?
Yes I did blow dry it and leave it plats for 2 days so it is extra stretched. I thought I mentioned the blow drying part but I only mentioned having the plats in it looks like. I just changed to title to reflect that, sorry about that!!
how many curlers did u need
I used between 33-35 flexi rods ☺️
It came out super cute snd juicy. Did you blow your hair out?
Hey girl! Thank you 🥰 and yes I blow dried it like a day or 2 before this and put it in plats. You don’t have to but I find that it come out more sleek when I let my hair sit for a day or two before doing the flexi rod set 😌
@@quettaj thank you on I'm gonna try over the weekend.
@@iamshamariiman7900 ok yes let me know how it comes out!
I did it like this but the lotta body was a complete fail for my hair. Left it crunchy and a mess.
Hey Jaymi I’m sorry that the lotta body left your hair crunchy! 😫 Have you used other foaming mousse? Sometimes we have to use different products but the same method if you get what I’m saying? Or maybe not as much product depending on how much you used. I would try switching out the products to see if it comes out better. 💕 What is your texture like?

Aww thanks sis! ❤️🥰
What about when you go to bed?
When I go to bed typically I just pineapple it with my silk scarf and then put a bonnet over it, but I will say that is probably not the best for making it last really long.

You have natural 4c hair? Cause it looks a lil too straight for me. Did you blow out or relax it a lil? Because no way 4c could just do that so easy.😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Yes my hair is 4C and I did blow dry it and leave it in plats for 2 days so it is extra stretched. I thought I mentioned the blow drying part but I guess not. I just changed to title to reflect that, sorry about that!!
@@quettaj ok great. Still a great video
@@tygawells261 aww thank you! 🥰
4c can look this straight blown out. I was able to learn how to make my coily hair more manageable 😊.
