Flexi Rods - how do I do this???

[2bmrspotts]

I am in transition from relaxed hair to natural and would love to set my hair on flexi rods. How in the world do these things work?
anyone have a how to or photo of them with their rods in??

sorry if this is trivial but im new to the transitioning thing and due to times being hard right now im not able to go have my hair done every week like I use to.

TIA

If you try it let me know how it turns out

Our hair is about the same length
Just wondering how hard it is to roll the back.​

i'm actually sitting in rods now!

and i feel your pain, OP. when i first bought rods, i had NO idea how to use them. they key is to use somewhat small sections, and to figure out how you want your hair to look. practice makes perfect! i know that, for me, if it set the rods horizontally, the set comes out tighter. vertically, and i get Shirley temple-esque curls.

i've attached some pics of how my set looks while it's still in rollers (and can update tomorrow on how they turned out, just to show how versatile rods can be)

about how many rods did you use?

about how many rods did you use?

i used exactly 25, and they were the shorter rods. also, i wasn't worried at all about sections, so it took me about 15 minutes to roll.
