I'm curious how many flexi rods do you guys use, the most I have seen is 80. I'm not sure how many I use but I'll take notice time I do a set.


How long is your hair?
How thick is your hair?

60 to 80
i think you use more the shorter your hair is, or if you don't want to separate.
when my hair is neck length, i used that amount i just stated. when my hair got longer i used the grey, purple ones and used half. also, if you use the smaller ones, you will use more and the curls will be tighter.

I asked this question in the setting to success thread and some ladies repiled 40. I think tour hair density and curl density have a lot to do with it.

You may want to ask users on that thread

-My hair is bra strap length
-I guess its on the dense side
-I use 40 minimum, but 80 looks best.

Low density. About SL. 50 rods for a really smooth look.

I'm MBL. I've used about 40; a combination of grey, purple and some pink. Depending on the style though, I can use less.

On average, about 8 blue ones. ETA: oh wow, you all use a lot of flexis. I like larger rods to cover more surface area and it offers less frizz for my hair.

I use 6 orange ones, because that's all I have. My curls come out fabulous! Btw my hair is apl/low density. I only use flexirods on blown out hair

I have tried using less like 10 or 12 rods. It comes out frizzy and poofy

My high porosity 4c natural refuses to smooth unless its in really tiny parts.

I think the difference is relaxed or natural. I last tried with 35 and they came out frizzy. I will need more. I do it on freshly washed hair and I am natural 3/4,

I'm relaxed and 40 gives me a decent set. Next time I use them, I will use more. It probably depends more on length, density and porosity.

It depends on how long I feel like sitting under the dryer. lol

20-25 flexi's equal 2 hour dryer time plus semi wet hair in the back

40-45 equal one hour dryer time
