She Behaving So Well And I Don't Know Why

[leona2025]

Lol Ladies I've had the most struggles with her, but this week she lost her mind. She doing everything I want. She soft and bounce and she is holding curls.

Never in the history of all mankind has she held a curl longer than 20 minutes. I put my flexi in at night on dry hair add no product and the curls have lasted all day. They drop, but not so bad.

These are some pics. I used 4 or 5 flexis. This is on blowdried hair only. I'm relaxed.

Pretty! What color flexi rod did you use?

 

[NappyNelle]

Beautiful! When did you go all black? I was looking for a streak/ pop of color.

 

[KinksAndInk]

Your hair is gorgeous.

I used the orange/Grey flexi rods

Sadly I've been all black for nearly 3 years. My job is ultra conservative.

Thanks! After @CaraWalker thread with the Kojic soap I purchased a bar for some chin discoloration. I used it for the first time tonight.

Your hair looks great @leona2025. I'm glad she's behaving. The prodigals always come home at some point

beautiful hair and you're so cute lol.

i just discovered the magic of flexis myself. i used them years ago and hated the shirley temple result but using them on dry straightened hair works well. instead of a spiral curl I prefer an S wave or just a body wave so i place the flexi at the root area and roll around the rod (as one might do with a curling wand) instead of rolling all the hair on top of itself starting from the ends which gives a spiral curl.
The only way I can sleep on them is to place the flexis high on my head so they can rest on the pillow. I can't have my head against them

I'm so late! You and your hair look beautiful. Do you use a rinse or permanent color?

@ShredsofDignity, thanks for the tip! I will have to try this as I don't like flexi-rod sets because of the 8-year old Shirley Temple look. I will try this technique and I too prefer a wave instead of a curl. This could also help refresh a mid-week roller set as well.

Girl I was on my way to Supercuts and she knew it. I was too done with her. I never did get a trim and I didn't change anything care wise. Maybe the scissors scared her straight lol.

Thanks so much. I don't like the Shirley Temple curls either. I'm going to try larger flexis. It looks nicer as it drops. Ugh they are hard to sleep in which is why I always have a big part down the back, lol. I part my hair in two halves and roll so that there are no rollers down the middle. It's hard to blend the hair back together.

I use Jazzings. It's my favorite. Adore color always always dries my hair out and it smells terrible. I have used Natural Instincts too. I like that color.

You don't even need large ones to avoid the Shirley temple look. Roll in this fashion to get S waves except gather the hair on each side and do it as high as possible so you can sleep with them in. The way she does it I would NOT be able to sleep in but higher up I can

your welcome. I've been on a mission to master S waves without using heat and in something i can sleep in because curls always stretch out when my hair is pulled back
