It seems like every curly girl wants to master the flexi rod set. While I won't give myself that title just yet, I did use my jumbo flexi rods to create big, fluffy curls this week.
I did use the tension method to stretch my hair before styling.
I learned the key to using product on natural hair after you've stretched it (and to keep it from shrinking), is to use only a tiny bit of product on each strand - think dime-sized.
That's exactly what I did. I used only a small amount of Honey Baby Naturals Honey Shea hair butter on each section and began rolling.
