Natural Hair Help

Love her hair, don't you?

In Megan Jenifer's own words:

...That look was achieved using blue flexirods and a light setting agent. I have fine bushy hair. It's about shoulder length when the coils are stretched out. To achieve this look, shampoo with your favorite moisturizing and anti-breakage shampoo. Deep condition with your favorite deep penetrating and strengthening conditioner. Make sure you comb through gently with a wide-tooth comb to make sure it's detangled fully. Rinse thoroughly. I usually part in five sections (one part across the diameter of the head through the crown from ear to ear. 1 part down the middle and 3parts in the back. Using your favorite creme hair dress or light moisturizing lotion massage the scalp and put a small amount in hands and work through each section (I usually secure each section as an individual Bantu knot while I'm setting one section at a time.) Starting in the back,using a light setting agent, either a creme or a mouse, I part each section in rows based on how much hair I want to put on a flexi-rod. I do one rod at a time starting from the nape of the neck. Using a bone comb or rat tail comb, I gently comb the setting agent through to the ends until the section of hair to set is almost straight. I secure the ends with an end-paper and then starting at one end of the flexirod, I begin to spiral the hair aroundthe rod and bend against the scalp to secure. The rod should sit vertically on your head. I continue this until the front is complete. Your head will be full of blue flexi-rods sticking everywhere!! !!! You can attempt to sit under a dryer at this time, but the hood needs to be big. Allow the hair to dry completely before removing the rods. Once you remove the rods, separate the coils by hand. Don't comb and try not to upset the curl pattern too much. As the style ages, the roots will swell and the style will get puffier. The curl pattern should remain, but depending on humidity and perspiration, some of the curls at the end will start to shrink back to their original curl pattern, which is still very cute usually. Sleep with a satin pillowcase. You don't have to put a scarf or a bonnet over it if you have a satin pillowcase. This seems to work better to prolong the life of the style. It usually lasts about 1 week.I hope this is helpful!
