Good gravy STAY AWAY FROM THE SPIRAL RODS (blue and white)
I didn't get the flexirods b/c they cost like $5 per pack of like 6
) Shoot, i have better things to do with my money
Needless to say, i'll be picking them up sooner rather than later...but i do want to try the actual straws first.
i said i was going to try this this wkend. I did. I should begin by saying me and my girlfriend were rushing b/c we had to get to a gathering (supposed to be there @ 8pm but didn't start my hair until 930 - yes, we are ass backwards
) ** make sure you have absolutely nothing planned the day you do this, you need to take your time with these suckers **
I bought -
9 packages of small
4 packages of medium
ready to use lottabody (This stuff is DA BOM - thanks PBE
)
Proclaim Gloss (or something to that effect, it was a serum)
First, let me start off by saying the blue ones were much easier for my friend (i think b/c she's right handed - when you get the package you'll know what i mean). We sectioned my hair in 4 sections (part in middle) and started from the back right side and continued up until the front (wasn't sure if i'd have enuf small rods - we didnt- so i needed to make sure the front was done). About the rods, the white ones go in one direction and the blue ones go in the other - as CCD informed us in her thread. Now the hook thingee took her a while to get use too (that's the part that you have to put your hair underneath) but once she started she was on point... that is, until i ran out of blues and she had to use white. YOWSAAA... she got a little discombobulated [sic]
at first but than she got the hang of it
. All in all it took her about 2.5 hours to do my entire head BUT she neglected 2 continuously mist my ends so they didn't come out as pretty as the top portion. AND she couldn't clip the clip to my ends (she said they kept falling out) so she left the end of my hair hanging out whilst she clipped a few 'spirals' ahead... BIG MISTAKE. In any event, when she was done I couldn't go to the party
I had to wait until my boyfriend came over so he could unclip the rod, and put my hanging ends inside of the clip (I LOVE HIM ) and that took the better part of 1.5 - 2 hours b/c he is a perfectionist. I told him it wouldn't work b/c my ends were already 'formed' b/c of the setting lotion. In any event, I misted my hair and got under the dryer (OUCH..it was torture) for about 30 mins. Taking those damn things out by yourself is a
- esp. if you have my friend do it
j/k - she's a member so i have to be nice
I love you girl
- b/c she overlapped the hair around the hook so it was TIGHT and very hard to get out. Thank goodness for boyfriends b/c he took them out for me as I laid on his lap and fell asleep. Did i mention how much i love this man
To make a long story (whew!) short, it didn't look so good so i will not b trying it again 4 at least 3 weeks and we'll try the straws next time. I didn't get to sleep until 4am and i'm still tired.
His description of my hair was - it looks like you had them in for a while. I have it clipped today. I will b giving myself a wash 'n set 2nite. Gosh im tired
