I know you see them, the natural hair gurus, the curly girls, well that’s not me! I have such a love/hate relationship with my natural hair. Ive tried time and time again to stay away from heat, to cut off dead ends, to be mindful of the products I use when styling, but honestly preserving my natural hair is a lot of work. There are way too many other things going on in life to devote so much time to my hair, which let’s be honest is in a bun most days. Im not knocking the people that do make their natural hair a priority and I definitely wish had the time to do better. I mean a “wash n go” style is misleading because it takes like an hour to style, its not a get up and go kind of thing. So in a last attempt to to make a healthy hair decision, I purchased a set of Flexi rods from Target and gave them a try. Can I just say, this style is IT, yesssssss!
I feel like this is such a 90s trend and I’m almost positive my mom used to do my hair like this when I was a young. Coming back to this style as an adult is a whole vibe, for real. I made sure to watch several YouTube videos on how to install Flexi rods to make sure I did the right twist and yada yada. But really they are self explanatory, wrap your hair tightly around the rod, sleep, and unravel. They definitely look good, but I think this is a style like with most curly hairstyles that will get better with time. For the first time, I’m so excited to wear my curls out =)
Tell me what you think? Have you tried them? Do you love flexirods or hate?
