Flexi Rods and Scalp Treatment

Hair Care Tip and Style Tutorial

In this tutorial, I am going to show you how to achieve spiral curls using flexi rods on my friend Arlene’s type 4 b/c hair, and discuss how to layer products for ultimate scalp treatment and moisture during styling.

About hair typing:

Alene has high textured, low porosity hair. The ends of her hair have a looser curl pattern because of the dye she’s had for the past year or so (which will be trimmed off soon). Over time, high-lift dye processing can cause your curl pattern to change shape. This will vary from person to person, for some, there will be no changes, for others it may be drastic. It also depends on what type of dye is used, but you should definitely take this into consideration before choosing to dye your hair. See more about factors that affect dye processing.

Hair types are subjective, not Gospel. The hair typing charts that are available online feature buckets or categories that encompass the most common types and traits. Some naturals will fall between those or have traits of several types; don’t worry, it’s normal.

Products and tools:

  • Hydratherma Naturals Soothing Shampoo Bar
  • Shea Moisture Raw Shea Butter Deep Treatment Masque
  • Carol’s Daughter Sacred Tiare Leave In Conditioner
  • Agadir Argan Oil Hair Shield 450 Spray
  • Hydratherma Naturals Foaming Sea Silk Curly Styler
  • 1 inch and ½ inch diameter flexi rods 
  • Denman 9-row Brush
  • Conair Hardhat Dryer
  • Hydratherma Naturals Herbal Gloss Heat Protector

Total time:

Total time for this style was about two hours.

Keep and care:

This style can be maintained by clipping the curls up to the top of your head with long metal clips, then tying a silk or satin scarf around the back and sides with the knot in the front.
