Steps to Use Heatless Hair Curler

Part 1 - Preparing Your Hair :

1. Give yourself enough time to let your hair dry in curl rods. Curling your hair can take a fair amount of time to do. If you have more time, you can let your curls dry naturally with the rods in your hair, but this can take hours. For a speedier option, use a hooded blow dryer.

• Your hair must be completely dry by the time you take your rods out!

2 Wash your hair with shampoo and conditioner to remove excess oils. Your curls will look healthier and last longer if your hair is clean before you curl it. Leave your hair a little damp, do not dry it completely. Flexi rod work best on wet or damp hair to create a stronger, lasting curl.

• If you aren’t going to wash your hair before using flexi rod, use a spray bottle of water to dampen it slightly.

3 Moisturize your hair with leave-in conditioner. Apply leave-in conditioner or moisturizing cream to allow for better curls and to control frizziness.This will also make it easier for you to put on the curl rods.

• If your hair is not naturally curly, apply setting lotion or gel to help the curl hold.
• For thick hair, apply moisture as you section your hair, not before.

4 Use hair clips to divide your hair into 4-6 sections so it’s easier to curl. Divide your hair evenly into at least four sections using a hairbrush or wide-toothed comb. Coil each section toward the scalp with your finger and hold it in place with a hair clip. Remember, this is just to keep the rest of your hair out of the way while you’re working with one section!

• If you have natural hair, detangle each section and apply moisturizer as you go.
• Larger clips work well with longer or thicker hair.

Part 2 - Putting in the Curl Rods

1 Separate a small lock from the back section and remove any tangles. If you have thick hair or want tighter coils, separate smaller locks of hair for each flexi rod. Use larger chunks of hair if you have thin hair or want looser coils.

• Apply a small amount of gel to each lock if you have naturally frizzy hair.

2 Wrap the end of the lock around the flexi rod to secure it. Wind the end of the hair tightly around the end of the rod at least once around to secure it. The end of the hair must be tightly secured so that the flexi rod doesn’t come out as your hair dries and becomes more slippery.

• Make sure to begin at the end of the flexi rod so that you can use the rest of the length to spiral your hair.

3 Roll the flexi rod in a spiral up the lock of hair until you reach the root. Turn the rod vertically and twist to spiral your hair around it in the direction you want the curl to go. Make sure your hair stays smooth and secure as you twist. Do not roll the rod straight up the hair horizontally or let the hair wrap over itself, as this will increase drying time and produce weaker curls.

• Longer hair will require longer flexi rods! For shorter hair, smaller rods are best!

4 Bend the flexi rod at the root of your hair to secure the coil in place. Bend the top of the flexi rod in the opposite direction of the spiral of hair for a more secure hold. Repeat this process for the rest of the section, and then begin on another section until all of your hair is securely in flexi rods.

• The more hair you put on each roller, the bigger the curls will be. For tighter curls, roll less hair on each roller.
• If your hair begins to dry while you are rolling, spritz with water to keep it moist.
• For a more natural look, twist your hair in random directions as you roll so your curls are not uniform.

5 Let your hair completely dry in the flexi rods. The key word is completely! You can sleep with flexi rods in overnight, or use a hooded dryer to speed up the process. Longer or thicker hair will take longer to dry.

• If you plan to keep your flexi rods in overnight, please wrap your hair to prevent frizz.
• If you want same day curls, put your curlers in during your morning routine and allow them to set throughout the day. If you need to speed it up, you can blow dry your flexi rollers to set your curls quickly. If you want overnight curls, put your rollers in at night and sleep on them. While this may not be the most comfortable option, you’ll be left with beautiful curls and no heat damage.

Part 3 - Removing Curl Rod

1 Select a curl rod and straighten it. Unfold one of the curl rod to begin the removal process. Don’t try to remove multiple rods at once—go one at a time.

2 Uncoil the rod in the opposite direction that you twisted it in. Use the same twisting movement as you did when putting the rods in, but twist away from the scalp. Gently unravel the hair from the rod completely before moving to another rod.

• Do not pull the rods straight out of your hair---you could tangle or lose your curl!

3 Use your fingers to gently separate the curls for a more natural appearance. Once you have removed all the rods, run your fingers gently through your hair to break up the tight coils. Separate the curls gently and let them naturally come apart.

• Only separate as much as you need to. If you brush your hair out too much, you’ll lose the curl shape you created with the heatless curling rods.

4 Apply hairspray for a lasting curl. Lightly spray your hair with hairspray once you’ve achieved your desired look. This will help your curls last longer and reduce frizz, especially on humid days!
