Review (4/5): I just bent the ends over the hair towards the center and it worked fine. Her curls came out great
Purchased for DD, who did not expect much from these rods. However, she was pleasantly surprised, as was I, with the results. You must play with the rods to get them to stay bent. The directions say to tie them in a knot, but they were too short to do that for me. So, I just bent the ends over the hair towards the center and it worked fine. Her curls came out great. On the larger rods, the center popped out as I bent them. I hope it is not a problem later on. Overall, I like them and they worked great.
