Flexirods on Natural Hair - Day 4 and Day 5


 
 
Today is Day 5 of my "first time" Flexirod set on my natural hair. I can now say, I have made it with my hair out for 5 days, which is so rare for me. However, before I start talking about day 5, let's do a recap on Day 4. Sorry I did not post about it, Wednesdays are my busiest days.
 
Yesterday, I pretty much did the same thing that I did on Day 3. I shared this on my Facebook page, DiscoveringNatural.
 
Day 4 Flexirods on Natural Hair
I was quite surprised that I got several compliments on my hair. It had about lost 80% of the curls generated by the flexirods.
 
Today, Day 5, this is what it looks like. Yes, and I am washing my hair today!! Ahhhh... I love Wash Days!!

Day 5
 
What I have learnt
  1. My roots need a stronger hold, or some type of technique to make them straighter
  2. I don't need too much products when it comes to maintaining the style
  3. Using a bonnet at night is sufficient at maintaining the curls, pineappling did not work as well with my length of hair
  4. There are different ways of installing a flexirod
  5. The more I separate the bigger and frizz-er my hair will get.
 
 
How long have you been able to maintain a flexirod set on your natural hair?

    GREAT post! Day 5 hair, WHOO HOO! I still see curls and shine, your hair looks very, very soft! The separating is scary, I don't want an extreme amount of frizz(some is to be expected!) but I want a full look! Today will be my deep conditioning day, tomorrow the wash and I think I might whip out my flexi-rods! My mom keeps asking me why haven't I used them yet (had em for almost a year!) I'm concerned about my roots as well so, if I do put in the rods, I will definitely be putting them in on stretched hair, the stretchiest I can get it, considering I will not use heat yet! I've seen a winding motion and a rolling motion when it comes to installing the flexirods. I'm all for cute Shirley Temple curls from the rolling method but, with the winding method you get these awesome wave curls...Ugh so much to think about! But i'll never know until I try right! Thanks for sharing!

Does having lots of hair on your arm means long hair on your head?

Image
  No, having a lot of hair on your arms doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll have long hair on your head. Hair growth patterns, thickness, and length on different parts of the body are influenced by factors such as genetics, hormones, and individual biology. For example: • Hair on arms is usually vellus or terminal hair, which grows to a certain length and then stops. • Scalp hair grows continuously in a cycle (anagen, catagen, telogen phases), allowing it to become much longer than body hair. While genetics may influence both arm and scalp hair characteristics, they don’t directly determine the length of one based on the other.

  Get To Know Me My name is Sola Awe and I am so happy you found this page. I am a licensed hair coach and have been a natural hair enthusiast since 2011 after I decided to transition my oldest daughter to natural hair. I have two daughters who are both natural and lovers of natural hair. My husband is also an advocate in his own way. I have a presence on social media as DiscoveringNatural that is dedicated to helping people be comfortable with their natural hair and learn how to easily care for it.  As a child, natural hair was not embraced and when I became an adult, I struggled with understanding my hair. When my oldest daughter was 4, I struggled with caring for her hair and did not have any resource to help me out, so I decided to relax her hair. After a friend invited me a natural hair event in Houston, Texas, where I reside, I knew I have found a new passion. The next day, we started my daughter's transition to natural and I followed afterwards with mine. When I discove...
