Flexible hair rollers, also known as flexi rods, are used to create curls or waves without heat. Here's how to use them:
-
Prepare Your Hair: Start with slightly damp or dry hair. If your hair is dry, you can lightly mist it with water or a setting lotion for better hold.
-
Section Your Hair: Divide your hair into sections based on the size of curls you desire. Smaller sections will create tighter curls, while larger sections will produce looser waves.
-
Wrap the Hair: Take one section of hair and starting at the end, wrap the hair around the flexi rod. Continue wrapping upwards towards the root. Make sure the hair is wrapped smoothly around the roller to avoid kinks. As shown in the reference: "And wrap wrap wrap."
-
Bend and Secure: Once you've wrapped the entire section of hair around the roller, bend the ends of the flexi rod inward to secure it in place. As shown in the reference: "And then you're gonna Bend. And hold it in place going backwards."
-
Repeat: Repeat steps 3 and 4 for all sections of your hair.
-
Let Hair Dry: Allow your hair to dry completely. This can take several hours, or you can sleep with the rollers in overnight.
-
Remove the Rollers: Gently unbend the flexi rods and carefully unwind your hair.
-
Style: Once all the rollers are removed, separate and style your curls as desired. You can use your fingers to loosen the curls for a more natural look. Optionally, use a silk bandana as described in the reference.
Tips for Best Results:
- Use a setting lotion or mousse to help your curls hold their shape.
- Make sure your hair is completely dry before removing the rollers to prevent frizz.
- For tighter curls, use smaller flexi rods and wrap smaller sections of hair.
- For looser waves, use larger flexi rods and wrap larger sections of hair.
- If sleeping with the rollers, consider using a silk scarf or bonnet to protect your hair and reduce friction.
