Stretching My Hair

Yesterday I tried a new method of stretching my hair. Instead of doing braids or twists, I wet set my hair on large flexirods using only Kinky Curly Knot Today as a leave in and Aussie Moist conditioner to smooth my hair on the rods. I then let my hair air dry overnight. When I woke up my hair was pretty straight except at the roots where I didn't have the rods placed tight enough (I kept it loose so I would actually be able to fall asleep). There was a lot of spiral curls at the ends of my hair due which I didn't really like so I just pulled it back into a curly ponytail.

What's your favorite method for stretching your hair?
