My first flexirod attempt on wet natural hair

Greetings Ladies. I just wanted to share my first flexirod attempt on my wet, natural hair. I had only used them on my relaxed hair years ago or when my hair is straightened. I used Jane Carter's Wrap and Roll and used 3 size flexis 9/16, 11/16 and whatever size the purple ones are. My only concern was my roots-They were still very kinky whereas everything was curled. It really didn't matter too much since my hair was big so you couldnt see the roots. Any tips on getting the roots smoother? Next time, I may try it on dry hair to see if the roots come out better. Sorry pics are so big.

I also did a YouTube vid on it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z265a3YZobU

I think it looks great. I haven't tried that yet- I'm scared I'll look like a poodle.

I it! i think it turned out super cute!!
i really want to try a flexy rod set, maybe i'll try it at home since at the salon it's supposedly $70! (and i'm just a cheap college student)/
i wonder how they'll look on my hair, since i'm transitioning and almost natural.

That is GORGEOUS. I have conditioner in my hair right now and was going to do a twist-out for tomorrow, but you've inspired me to go buy some flexirods.

vkb247- Yes this is the look I was going for in my Intro thread. Thanks for all the advice. It gave me some great ideas.

jdub- I let it airdry overnight. I hate sitting under the dryer.

I'm thinking to probably get straighter roots, to rubber band each section you roll so that the roots are pulled taught and the hair wrapped around the flexi-rod would be curly.

Thanks

and skeegeezmb- Thats a good idea. I heard of people using rubber bands to stretch their natural hair so that may work on my works. Thanks.
