I can NEVER watch your videos without laughing. I come, I laugh, I learn a new and useful hair tip. Love you ladies!

[@imanjohnson1326]

This is an interesting method. Most tutorials I've seen (mostly on kinky/coily natural hair) people start from the ends and roll their hair up into the rod (which you did towards the end of the video lol). This also helps the ends stick to the flexi rods. Perhaps another method for someone to try. I've never had the patience to do flexi or perm rods on my own hair (do you see my afro in my picture?!), but always love the results when I see other folks do it. And Amanda's hair turned out great!

[@charlieemily3045]

IVE BEEN FOLLOWING SINCE DAY 1! I’m desperate to bring my curls back and have gone on a crazy non bleaching and hair loss journey! Now my hair is dark and healthy again LETS BRING BACK THE CURL! Watching your videos have always brought me comfort when I miss my curly hair 🤍🤍🤍

[@duckydouglas4573]

I’ve been curl transitioning since may, I’ve also recently started using flexi rods and may I honestly say they work so well, it really helps my curly hair and helps reduce frizz and if there is anyone attempting to try this curl training technique definitely give it a try, it does wonders and helps when you have a mixture of patterns in your hair! 😁😁😁

[@tiffanybartholomew6568]

The trick to this like when you used it is to make sure its dry. I have been diffusing my hair lately with the trick that once I think its dry, I continue to dry another 10 minutes. Its been working well. I'm so inpatient when it comes to the timing of drying. Thanks for giving me hair confidence!

[@FlowerPower-cf2fp]

Love it. You guys just need to come out with a line of wigs lol. I'll need my own seester to accomplish this. Mell, I can't get to a hairdresser right now so I tried your ponytail haircut and it did the trick. ♥️

[@dboblu]

This is THE most helpful flexirod vid. After trying a bunch of recs from you, my curls were good but not great. I tried head band curls but my fine, low density hair obeys too well. Big on the sides flat af on the top. Decided to try rods so I could curl the top and bam here you are giving me the info I need. Love the way you explain and love love love that you give a why. Will always stay subscribed.

[@judyavila8690]

@yuritaavila When I first started my curly journey I looked up Mel’s videos were my go to. When Amanda started to join in on the videos I was so happy to see the techniques Mel used on her Seester because my hair is more like Amanda’s. I love that you have normalized a curly girls right to straighten out every one in a while. Keep up the great work Ladies!

[@jackiemasek8302]

I have a ton of those but could never figure out to use them. This really helps and now I’m going to try again that my hair is much longer. Thank you!

[@mluisxa]

@mluisxa you've helped me a lot, even though when I discovered your channel I was already pretty informed, I think what really sets your channel apart is the accuracy of your information; the way you put so much effort and research into everything you share with us makes things easier for us to understand and also debunks lots and lots of myths that walk around the curly hair community. thank you so much!!

[@ManuGalactus]

You guys are hilarious! The seester talk, the vms, IT'S GREAT. And both your curls look banging too :) Missed you last week, hope you've had a lovely Christmas and happy New Year!

[@jennward537]

@curlymissj I love Amanda’s reaction to that first curl 😆 Mel is so good at explaining everything and why you do things a certain way! Good job seesters 🙌🙌🙌

[@RockinLocks4u]

I started using those type of rods over 25 years ago...have always loved them...but I wrap the ends first to lock them in place under the first rotation...or sometimes if the hair is apt to fly away, I use papers just like a perm....and also, I do smaller sections with the larger rods and larger sections with the small rods, this gives a more even curl throughout the head

[@CrazyPlantLady911]

Great tip to use papers to keep the ends neat! THANKS!! 👍🤗

[@wandascholtens6419]

Amanda’s hair came out 🔥 You guys are so funny. Love these videos!!!

Shukria.yuyu I’ve been using flexirods since May of 2020 and what I found helps is twisting it at the root first (like a two strand twist) and rolling it into a ball after you’ve wrapped the hair. I go to bed and take it out in the morning and most of the time it’s dry!
