If you need to do that then you should. Maybe drop in once a month to check in and stay on target. You can also participate in some of the other sections like health or career. There is always plenty going on there.
treat yo' self!
and that flexirod set was a major FAIL!

What didn't work?
I have only done one once and I didn't install them correctly because they were pulling on my brain. Maybe your next install will be better. It may take a bit of practice. I've been sticking with perm rods since they are easier to install for me. But I have flexi rods and plan to try them when my hair is longer.
I've done them in the past with great results. In retrospect, I think I twirled the hair around the rod too close so instead of creating an elongated spiral, my hair looked like a curly perm men would get in the 70s.
And the more I tried to stretch it, the frizzier it looked. No bueno.

hmm, That's good information about the technique. Didn't realize that is how it was done. Will keep that in mind.
it seems there are many different ways to do it. I just watched natural metra on youtube do a demo and hers is great. I also think my sections were too big.

I tried water rinsing my twists several times this week. And I just can't seem to get it to work even when I try to seal with oil. My hair is drier at the end of the week than it would have been if I had done nothing to it at all. Today my hair is a mass of frizz. I refused to redo my hair last night. I may do something to it tonight.
My life would be so much easier if I could successfully rinse in twist.

Since I worked up a sweat cutting the grass, I decided to wash my hair. It feels so much better now. I used mud for 1.5 hours and then conditioned with Tresemme Undone. I put in 10 flat twists with CR Aloe Whip. I plan to cycle in the morning so I will wash my hair again tomorrow afternoon. My hair could use the extra water.
maybe try adding an oil to the twists first before rinsing, might help to keep the frizz down and lock in the moisture

Was gonna do some havana/Marley twists today but was too tired to wake up early and go out and but the hair. Will start it on Tuesday. Will buy the weave hair once the twists have grown out.

I "washed" my hair every day this weekend. My hair and scalp definitely needed the extra moisture. I wore a WNG yesterday and today and it turned out well. I rinsed it out this evening and put my flat twist back in to get me through the week. I think because I didn't let the wng dry out, my hair didn't suffer with tangles or SSKs. I'm going to have to journal what I did so I can try to repeat it later in the year.

Bent. Not Broken.
Every 2 days I slather my cornrows with leave in and a butter . I plan to also water rinse 2x a week then slather. I also wash once a week then slather of course.
Funny. At nl and shorter the braids didnt hold up well so I was touching up every 2 weeks. Currently at 2 weeks and still as good as day 1.
Loving the ease of PSing right now.

Good. I am glad that you are having a good experience with it. It's simple but I have found it is far more effective than almost anything else I have done.

faithVA

Maybe once a month. My hair isn't crazy about too much shampoo. I usually use a mudwash.

what is a mudwash?

Its a cleanser made with some type of clay as its base. I typically make my own of clay, water and a little oil. My hair is very dry and the clay isn't as harsh on my hair.
