Perm rods vs. flexirods

[danimani]

Will they achieve the same basic spiral look or is one better than the other for getting good spirals?

IMO I think it depends on the spirally effect you're going after. They both can create sprirals on the hair. Some people may have some long hair and maybe opt to use flexi-rods since it's longer than a perm rod and there's not much of any hair overlapping on the flexi-rods causing a nice spirally effect as a result. Now some have also used perm rods and even may overlap as well, and yet still come out very nice. I say it's all in the technique and how you do it really.

The curls from flexi rods are usually softer but they pretty much serve the same purpose.

The curl pattern for he perm rods are tighter and for the flexirods, looser. I use flexirods.

Flexirods are more gentle on the hair also IMO. I prefer the look of flexirods over perm rods.

I've had my hair rolled on perm rods twice by two different hairdressers. I hated them both. It left my earlength/ SL hair looking like a curly afro.

I agree with what the other ladies said. Flexirod leaves you with a softer relaxed spiral curl.
