Natural Hair Speaks- Pic(s) of The Day- Finger Coils

Marlow D. of Illinois
Marlow is definitely working these finger coils.  When I saw her I thought that she had a roller rod set.  I should say that her hair is all natural and is way past shoulder length when flat ironed.  When she told me that she was wearing fingercoils, I immediately asked how she achieved this look.  Here's her response:

I was a demo model at "Ms. Roberts' Beauty Academy" when one of the graduates introduced me to "As I Am" by Avalon.  She used the product on my hair and I have been hooked ever since. I used the shampoo and the conditioner. I combed it out with the conditioner in it. After washing it out, I used the leave in because it is supposed to help to define the curl better. Then I divided my hair into sections and sprayed it with water until it was saturated. I applied the curling jelly (liberally) to each section. I took small pieces at a time (at random) and twirled them with my finger in a spiral motion. When you let go, the curl bounces back up in a spiral pattern. I tried to get it as close to the root as possible. In the very back where the hair is the shortest and in the front where I want my hair to lay just right, I use small metal clips to hold it in place. I let it air dry over night. It will last for a few days. If you wake up one morning and the curls have flattened, just spray with water and "As I Am" moisturizer as needed and scrunch it with your hand. It will bounce right back up.

Wow!  Marlow is working her fingercoils.  I've had one person come up to me and rave about this product.  I think I am going to give "As I Am" a try soon!  Natural hair definitely speaks a story all it's own.  Marlow's finger coils are curly, springy, and fabtastic.  Here's the side and back views of her beautiful style.


Have you ever worn you hair in finger coils?
