Flexi-rod sets - Naturals

[MsKipani]

I'm sure this has been covered numerous amounts of times, but I'm asking anyway.
Naturals with successful flexi-rod sets, what products do you find to be the best in creating a good flexi-rod set?
How long does it last?
How do you protect it at night?
Do you air-dry or go under a drier, or both?
Any other specific techniques?
If it makes a difference, my hair is a mixture of 3c/4a/4b and I'm bsl length when straight!
Thx!

Naturals with successful flexi-rod sets, what products do you find to be the best in creating a good flexi-rod set? A light hair gel is what I put on my hair before I roll with the flexi-rod

How long does it last? I sleep on a satin pillowcase at night, and in the AM if I had a few that looked a little fuzzy, I'd wet it a little, reapply the flexirod, then after 1 hr take it out.

How do you protect it at night? Satin pillow case

Do you air-dry or go under a drier, or both? I would airdry my hair

Any other specific techniques? I prefer to use the skinnier flexirods and a lot of them, it would give me straighter roots and the style would last longer, imo.
