Review (5/5): Twisty Rods for Beachy Waves or Coily Curls
My hair has lots of different kinds of curls in it, from tight coils near the nape of my neck, to spirals, all the way to slightly wavy hair at the crown of my head. I get a more consistent curl when I use curlers! I've been using large foam curlers for a while to get large, uniform waves that straighten out over a few days, but I wanted to try a curler that would give me tighter curls.
The Ohuhu Twist Flex Rods come with 7 different curl sizes, and each size has 6 rollers. The rollers are color-coded by size, so you think I'd be able to find all 7 curlers, but apparently I thought there were only 6 when I took the picture. I'd never used these kinds of curlers before, but they were simple to use. I used the two largest sizes, and took a small section of hair and put the end of it in the middle of a roller. Then, I rolled the hair up into the roller, making sure to keep the hair in the center of the rod. Twisting the ends together keeps the curler in place.
I tried to let my hair air-dry with the curlers in, but I have a LOT of hair, and knew that could take days, so after a few hours, I put on my bonnet dryer and finished the job. I was pretty happy with my ringlets! I did muss them up for a nice, beachy curly-wave, too. I really liked getting the curl all the way to my crown, and how much lift it gave the top of my 'do. And, the curls weren't tangly like my hair can get if I let it completely air dry. I could run my fingers through them and get a messy, beachy wave - and still no frizz or tangles.
