Letitia, the "mesh" thingy is a mesh band with velcro that I put around my hair when I wrap it. I put this on before i put my silk scarf on. I started using it b/c I noticed that I was tying the scarf too tight at one time and it was snapping a few hairs on the left side by my ear off.
When I tie the band thing on, it covers the very bottom or rather all my edges so that when i put the scarf on and tie it, it's not pulling directly on the edges (I hope that makes sense
)
MonaRae and Letitia, I used two of the orange flexi rods on dry hair. I moisturized it really good w/NTM and used a dab of WGO, put one in the top and one in the back and covered with a bonnet. The curls lasted all day and I had to be careful not to leave them in for too long or I would have been looking like Curly Sue (waaaaay too curly)
