After removing your perm rods or flexi-rods when achieving your natural hairstyle they tend to have product build-up left on them. These perm rods are covered with sticky gunk that might make them unusable for a second usage which makes them yucky and discolored. Don’t throw them out! They can be cleaned by using simple ingredients and following the easy steps below.
What you will need:
A container big enough to fit all perm/flexi-rods
Shampoo of your choice
Apple Cider Vinegar
Warm water

- Prepare perm rods by closing them and straighten the flexi-rods; before placing it into the container
- Add ¼ cup of the apple cider vinegar and lukewarm water over the flexi-rods (you will notice the hair tools floating)
- Add 1 tbsp. of shampoo to the container for a squeaky clean hair tool, removal of hair products and gunk.
- Allow the hair curlers to soak for 20 minutes; to loosen up the product and shed attached hair
- After 20 mins. pour off the ACV and shampoo mixture; then proceed to rinse the perm rods off with fresh and clean water.
- Lay the hair tools to air dry on a paper towel or simply leave them outside in the sun to dry.
