Good afternoon my naturals! Today, I finger coiled my hair. They took about 4 1/2 hours to complete, which is a lot less than my normal 6-7 hours lol. When I create the coils, I usually do them by parting the sections with my finger. This time, I parted my hair from ear to ear. Then I parted the sections of my hair in small rows. This technique cut down the time. I also stood in the mirror the whole time instead of sitting on the couch lol. I applied water, leave in conditioner, Shea Butter mixed with Olive Oil, and Eco Styler Gel and twisted the hair between my thumb and index finger. The last time that I've created these was the beginning of August. My hair has grown a lot. I had a bit of difficulty twisting my ends because I have not adjusted to doing finger coils with my current length.I may keep the finger coils in for a week and a half. All Done! Thank God!

Hey everyone, I hope that you are enjoying your week. I just wanted to give you an update on my hair :-) August 3, 2011 was my 5 month natural hair anniversary. Lately, I have been rocking finger coils. My favorite products to use on my hair are shea butter, coconut oil, Creme of Nature Lemongrass and Rosemary Leave-In Conditioner , and Eco Styler Gel with Olive Oil (for my twists/coils). My hair is about 3 inches long now. Keep in mind, I trimmed it about a month ago. This week, I dusted my hair while doing my finger coils. Here are some pics! How long have you been natural?

Hey everyone, Here are the results of my finger coils.

Hey everyone! I have finally decided to do a video. In my first video, I will explain how to do finger coils. Let me know what you think!

Finger Coils on TWA (protective style) Ok, so I have been doing finger coils every week for the past month. I love the fact that they last a long time. I sleep on a satin pillow case, and it doesn't disturb the finger coils much. Mine usually last for about a week. After the third day, I rub olive oil in my hands, through my parts and twists, especially the ends.  I've decided to do them smaller than my first time. I had a hard time twisting my hair because the back has really small curls (from the Garnier Fructis ) that were hard to pick up. I had to stretch my hair a bit, using butterfly clips (pic in the last post). I used a water bottle, Shea butter, and gel (Eco Styler Olive Oil mixed with Hawaiian Silky Activator Gel) to create the look. The style took me about 4 hours to finish. Have you tried doing your own finger coils?
