Using Flexi Rods for Stretching Hair
Good morning everyone!! I don't know if you all know, but I am a proud type 4 hair girl! What does that mean? Well, according to NaturallyCurly.com: Type 4 hair can range from fine and thin to wiry and coarse with lots and lots of strands densely packed together. Coily hair has fewer cuticle layers than any other hair type, which means that it has less protection from the damage inflicted by combing, brushing, curling, blow-drying and straightening. Simply put, it's the most dense and tightly coiled hair. It also doesn't get as much love and representation in larger media, but I have really grown to love my hair. Anywho, a big thing with any type of natural hair is shrinkage, when your hair in its curly/coily state is much shorter than it would be straightened. Due to summer humidity, I get craaaaazy shrinkage (75% shrinkage, to be exact). And I like BIG hair! So I'm always trying new techniques on stretching my mane. Check out my latest try! Sh
