This was an experiment, but thankfully it turned out alright. I got my inspiration from MiniMarley on YouTube after I watched her Flat Twist-Out video. You can check it out here: http://youtu.be/zddk0xoVMLU?list=UUXqg3ufdZJQHe-k25UXsy6Q

Since I am not fully natural yet, I had to modify her set with flexirods. I didn't mind though because I love the uniformity I get with flexirods.

Products used and mentioned:
10 red flexirods
9 blue flexirods
Shea Moisture Extra-Moisture Transitioning Milk
4Naturals Curl Craze curl lotion
Dove Style+Care Curl Mousse
Gold N' Hot Soft Bonnet dryer
spray bottle with water
wide tooth comb

It took me about 3 hours to detangle, flat twist and set my hair on the rods. I slept on them overnight--not comfortably--and still had to sit under my bonnet dryer for 30 mins on low in order to fully dry my hair.

I untwirled each rod and then lightly separated and fluffed my hair. The mousse made the unraveling part a little frustrating and some parts of my relaxed ends tangled so bad I had to cut out the knots. But I'm going to chop off the relaxed ends eventually so I was ok with it.

I am surprised by the results! But I honestly don't like the 4Naturatls Curl Craze curl lotion. The consistency, the smell, the hold--or lack thereof--I'm just not impressed with it. But that's ok too. Live and learn.

I'M 21 MONTHS POST RELAXER YALL! :D

Luv ya for watching (:
