Wash Day | Quick Flexi Rod Set

Now that I'm back in the groove of things this wash day went really well. Last week I bunned it up switched between pigtail buns, high buns, and low side swept buns. As I started this week's wash day I had no idea what I was going to do, but I knew I wanted no parts of a bun! Here's how it went:












 
  • Detangled in sections using my rake comb and Mane N Tail Detangler
  • Wash my hair using the Suave Daily Clarifying Shampoo (diluted with water) to remove any buildup. This is the only sulfate shampoo that removes buildup without stripping my hair and turning it into a tangled mess!
  • Did a second lather with my Keracare sulfate free detangling shampoo
  • Applied a mix of Keracare Humecto DC and Mizani Moisture Fuse Conditioner
  • DCed with heat for about 30 minutes.
  • Rinsed and wrapped my hair in my turbie twist for about 40 minutes.

  • Applied my usual leave ins (Chi Keratin Mist, Chi Silk Infusion, Kimmaytube Leave In mix).
Style: After I applied my leave ins I had no idea what I wanted to do with my hair but I knew that I wanted no parts of a bun. After staring in the mirror for about 5 minutes I decided to try my hand at a quick flexirod
set. I parted my hair and combed it straight down. I applied keracare wrap lotion only to my ends and used about 15 flex rods. I allowed my hair to dry overnight. It came out great the next day! I still haven't mastered pineappling or my hair just isn't long enough for it so I've worn it pined up everyday since then and put a few flexi rods in each night because with my intense workout my curls don't hold as well, but overall I've really enjoyed my bun break. Every other night I lightly moisturize and seal with Giovanni Direct Leave in and coconut oil. How was your wash day?

  3. I love how you get a head full of curls with only 15 flexi-rods! I see that you installed orange ones in the front but blue in the back---any reason?

    Thanks for sharing your #washdayexperience chica!

    1. Thank you!!! I tried to alternate between the orange and blue, but honestly those were the colors I had so I just kind of stuck them wherever!

    1. Thank you! Because I only used about 15 of them they were fairly comfortable to sleep on!
