When I do a flexirod set it usually lasts for almost 2 weeks. After washing & DC I use a leave in conditioner, aloe vera gel (only on the ends to keep it wrapped around the rod, styling foam, and CHI Silk Infusion or Suave Keratin Infusion Smooth & Shine Serum (this helps to combat the frizzies. And it leaves me with a beautiful set. I also use a bonnet every night and daily I use a lil EVOO or a shine serum and kinda plump my curls back up. After about a week, I'll use a headband or I'll get some scrap fabric and sew a hair bow.

This is pretty!! Do you sit under the dryer or air dry? I air dried overnight. I'm wondering if that makes a difference in how long the set will last.

Almost 2 weeks??!?! My hair won't hold a style for more than a few days. Doesn't matter what I do. :nono: I'm sure I'll have a puff by Friday. I was surprised I still had curls when I woke up this morning.

This is from the R&B collection and the style is Ring.

I also have this in a longer version (at least the box had the same name on it). I brushed the front out a bit more, trying to get that flip action, lol. I've never really been much for long wigs but I like this one too.

NikkiQ Happy Nappiversary hair twin!!! I can't wait to see your update!!!

I am twisting my hair in kind of medium-sized twists. I am giving bunning a rest, I'm just not sure if there is tension or if I'm causing more damage. My hair feels very moisturized and nice. I am doing my darndest to hold off on straightening until the official length check; I have my college graduation coming up and my mom wants me to take the pictures a little sooner b/c I have to send the invites pretty far away. I'll post a pic of the finished twists, HHJ ladies!
 
glamazon386, praisedancer, SunySydeofLyfe - yalls curls look sooo beautiful! Yall making me want to try it out. I was thinking about curl formers but may switch to trying the flexi rods. How many flexi rods do yall use?

Morning Ladies!!:drunk:
Nothing new to report. Last night I pineappled my hair, and my hair turned out great today. I am still wearing my wng/braidout. If I have the time today, I will dc and try out the "As I Am" coconut cowash. My scalp is starting to itch b/c of all the product I have in my hair.

Happy Growing Ladies:drunk:

What kind of styling foam do you use? Do you apply the Chi Silk Infusion when the hair is dry or while your setting it? What size flexi rods do you use?

Sorry for all the questions:spinning:

Good morning pelohello, the questions are cool. I use almost 60 rods, my hair is thick and more defined curls. Right now I use Fantasia IC Hair Polisher Styling Foam, but I think I'll use Jane Carter Solution (I've heard so many things about it). I use the CHI while I'm setting. I use gray and orange rods, I only use orange around my hair line and at my nape.
 
So I know I entered this challenge a little prematurely since I started at SL this past december in hopes that sometime this year I could also be closer to BSL. Well yesterday gave me hope that I will be joining you guys officially sooner than I thought!:grin::grin: So I noticed at work that some of my havana twists were getting loose in the back so I figured I would take them out and redo them when I got home.....well since I had my hair out I figured I might do a baby length check.....soooo I don't want to get too excited but it's looking close if not there to APL?!?!? :drunk:

I'll have to wait until my official length check at the end of March but this just made me super excited and I needed to share!:grin:

No, I got it a local bss. But if you plug into a google search, there may be some places that carry it and can ship it. Sucks that your local bss doesn't carry it. But I guess the big thing now is the Kim Kardashian look. I'm in Tampa and have tons of stores so if they want to be competitive, they have to have variety I guess.
 
Debating on dying my hair again when I make BSB or BSL. My milestone gift to myself. I'm liking this tradition so far even though these roots are OUT OF CONTROL!!!
 
I'm ending my longest stretch ever, 16 weeks, tomorrow. I may go 20 weeks next time. I'm thinking of coating my hair with neutralizer shampoo before I go to the salon. Can I get that at Sally's?
 
just washed my cornrows that was under my wig now dcing... pats self on back i didnt think i would last 2 weeks with constant gheing now 2 more weeks to go before taking this hair down and rebraiding...keeping fingers crossed praying top reach bsl after summer
 
It's really sad that when I went outside to get a package from the mailman with my Celie pigtails, he didn't even bat an eye. He's so used to seeing my head all jacked up that he would pass out if I actually did something to it.

Yes. I heard that ORS & cream of nature have good neutralizers.

What do you think is better for protecting my already processed hair, conditioner, neutralizing shampoo or EVOO? I've been using EVOO but my stylist says that makes my hair hair hard to rinse and the relaxer "sticks" to it. I really want to protect my ends as much as possible.

I think a conditioner & a sealant should do the trick. I used suave tropical coconut conditioner & then sealed it with chi silk fusion. I also read on here that sum ladies like to use a protein based conditioner. But I figured the chi has silk proteins in it so that should be good enough.

Maybe something like chi silk infusion since its not sticky. I use EVOCO.

I'm about 15 weeks post and very happy with the amount of new growth I have. I'm excited to TU in may!
