00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.410
- [Kalyn] I only mastered my wash and go

2
00:00:01.410 --> 00:00:02.430
about two months ago

3
00:00:02.430 --> 00:00:04.140
and revisit the style rarely.

4
00:00:04.140 --> 00:00:06.690
However, my first concern
upon trying it was

5
00:00:06.690 --> 00:00:09.000
how to preserve my
carefully crafted coils.

6
00:00:09.000 --> 00:00:10.440
Then as I scrolled on TikTok,

7
00:00:10.440 --> 00:00:12.300
I found a brilliant hack
on how to keep my curls

8
00:00:12.300 --> 00:00:15.240
from turning into a
matted mess, flexi rods.

9
00:00:15.240 --> 00:00:16.350
You know those foam rods

10
00:00:16.350 --> 00:00:18.120
that come in different colors and sizes?

11
00:00:18.120 --> 00:00:20.040
They're usually used for
creating other styles

12
00:00:20.040 --> 00:00:22.470
which are sincerely hit
or miss for 4C hair,

13
00:00:22.470 --> 00:00:24.870
but I found another way
to put them to good use.

14
00:00:24.870 --> 00:00:28.200
Warning, you may need one
of those jumbo bonnets.

15
00:00:28.200 --> 00:00:30.210
First, you part your hair in sections.

16
00:00:30.210 --> 00:00:32.730
If you sectioned your hair
off while defining your curls

17
00:00:32.730 --> 00:00:35.550
there's a chance the hair will
still be slightly separated.

18
00:00:35.550 --> 00:00:39.030
Then gently grab each section
and wrap a flexi rod around it

19
00:00:39.030 --> 00:00:41.670
closer to the root to give
your hair a little stretch.

20
00:00:41.670 --> 00:00:43.380
You can do this with satin hair ties too

21
00:00:43.380 --> 00:00:45.330
by twisting them around each section.

22
00:00:45.330 --> 00:00:48.300
I don't have any, so I'm
working with what I got.

23
00:00:48.300 --> 00:00:49.260
The following morning,

24
00:00:49.260 --> 00:00:50.820
all you need to do is
give your hair a shake

25
00:00:50.820 --> 00:00:52.710
or pick your fro into your desired shape

26
00:00:52.710 --> 00:00:55.477
without worrying that all your
hard work went to nothing.

27
00:00:55.477 --> 00:00:58.060
