I'm happy you took the time to warn people that this technique can cause locking. I have clients who have started locs with this method. Your honesty is appreciated ❤
I experienced the same thing in my 4A/B hair. I had to twirl it a lot to get the root to set in the finger coil. Worst detangling session I had in my 9 years of being natural. Probably wouldn't do finger coils ever again.
@@ShadesofSage yes it does but when you have curly hair like this and you curl it really tight. I can start the process of locs. Which makes it really difficult when you go to detangle. Can cause a lot of breakage if you aren't careful. I know I've done it before.
Thanks for the wonderful advice, boo! You really have set the natural community on fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 on YT ever since you came back! You’ve been dropping gem 💎 after gem 💎 after gem 💎 and I absolutely love it all!
I have very tight coils and love to finger coil. I have found that water is not your friend. Just like doing any other protective style on your hair, you need to moisturize constantly and use a curl refresher while you have it. You cannot take a shower and drench your whole head, going swimming or anything like that. It’s then that the hair starts to lock. I also have the unbrush and find that if my hair starts to naturally lock, i can drench my hair, use lots of conditioner and brush out my hair from the very bottom to the top and it comes out easy. It basically is that you are shedding your hair but instead of it falling out on the floor, those weeks of shedding stay in your head and become tangles which turn into locks.
Yeah I think we’ve all made similar mistakes. I did some mini twists using gel at the roots and kept them in for three weeks, and some of mine started to loc up too and were hell to take out. We live and learn on this natural hair journey. ❤
@@ananse77 hey lady 🤗. You would be surprised to know how many people do not section their hair first. And the fact I didn't see that, made me offer a suggestion to those who have not been that innovative yet ☺️. Love you. Hope your day is going well 😚
I do this with super small flexi rods…if u can take the time to detangling in small sections with a product with good slip it’s a great protective style and take down is quicker than braids or twists…would love to see a wash day with this style. Def can’t go longer than two weeks. Great way to train ur curls if u also heat style.
My lil 4c hair tries to lock up in almost any style if I just leave it alone lol. But great tip! Just need to deep condition and finger detangle and then brush from bottom to top while rinsing hair. The finger comb method is fantastic, but 10 little twirls ain’t gonna coil much on my head, it would still be an Afro lol. Great video!! Thanks for the tip
Omg, the one time I tried this on my type 4 hair in high school, I wound up in tears because i realized this is basically locs 😭 Now I am happily locd as an adult LOL
You just should thoroughly detangle dust before washing. How to do starter locs is funny though😂. Washing immediately instead of doing a finger detangle with water and conditioner and then using a wide tooth comb is the solution when coming out of finger coils. Easy wash set up every time❤
Funny, I just combed out my sons almost locs yesterday. 😂 I took his twists down and he was so sensitive about it I just let him wash his hair and have break for 1 day. Just 1 day and his hair started free-form locs. He was like Samson with like 8-10 locs. Remember the hairs you lose every day, stay in the hair, and get matted. But her locs would've looked bomb tho.
How do I stop my hair from shrinking when it's dry? I'm a male with hair long enough to go past my eyebrows when I fully stretch it out and my curls look good when my hair is wet with water/product but the moment it starts drying up, it shrinks way back to my forehead.
I usually use a foam moose, and a holding gel, but my hair still shrinks, just not as much. (But note I have between 4a, 3c, hair, and A LOT of it is damaged from when I used to get relaxers, I do think it depends on how tight the coils are.)
This happened to me the first time i did finger coils and ive never attempted them again 😅 also eventually realized i was twirling too much but i dont want to try it again
If you don’t want fully coils and only want your real curl pattern present just coil the very beginning root don’t go down all the way not even half way just enough to separate the hair but leave it in a bigger block for the curl to form.
The style looked beautiful though ❤. I wouldn't have tried it anyway just bc my hair starts locking 6-7 days post and it's even worse when I twist my hair 😮💨 oh well wouldn't change it 😌
so I just cleanse and condition my hair then after while still damp/wet I apply natural only oil and then use a bristle brush to brush sections of my hair from tip to root and my curls are uniformed close to this style. after I will lightly twist or braid to hold the smooth lay of my hair. I can undo and leave the house curly but smooth or easily straighten my head within 15mins
sometimes conditioning first then lightly shampoo after because curls but want to straighten hair without heavy load of product on my hair so heat isn't overrunning with product
The very first and only time quite frankly I did coils it was beautiful but I did twirl too much and also almost had locs lol but for next time I know what to do Glad im not alone 👏🏽
Appreciate the honesty
I'm happy you took the time to warn people that this technique can cause locking. I have clients who have started locs with this method. Your honesty is appreciated ❤
Thanks so much!! I really appreciate it!🥰🫶🏾🫶🏾 and did they start locs purposefully or accidentally?
@@Jewellianna good question! They started them purposefully. It was an easy way for them to start them at home without a Loctition.
@Jewellianna Finger Coils are beautiful in general but not meant more long term wear 😍
@@SpiralsKinksNCoilsahhh! Okay thank you for answering! 🥰 and I’ll keep that in mind for next time!😭 lol
It was a Stunning ❤Look
Thanks so much lovely!🩷🥰🫶🏾🫶🏾
Those locs would’ve been so crisp and beautiful. The twirl was the same size as her curls which gave them that shiny bouncy perfectly round look 😍
Thank youuu!😭❤️❤️ I wish I could’ve seen how they would’ve looked if I kept going 🥹
I agree I think finger coils are a cute protective style, but the detangling was a nightmare. It just wasn't worth it plus I shed a lot of hair.
They're so pwitty tho!!!🥹
Then it wasn't a protective style.
Huh? How is it a protective style in any way?
@@absolutelynotarobot because she was able to wear them for two weeks I guess
Just detangle before washing.
These would be gorgeousss locs
Don't be embarrassed. It's just a lesson learned. That's all! We all go through that.
Your hair looks gorgeous!
it looks so good tho! i can see you in small locs like that
lol thank you!!!🥰
Come to the locd side sis! You’ll like it over here
Very responsible of you to come back and update
Thank you! 🥰🥰🫶🏾
Waittt I did the first method the same way and it started to loc! I’m glad I’m not crazy lol
I can’t lie, you would have some bomb ass locs ❤
And it looks SO good too 😭❤️
Great tips 👌🏾 ❤
Thank you!🥰🥰🫶🏾
I didn’t realize it was that easy to start locs …
Oh😭😭😭 okay well
Maybe I’ll loc my hair then 😂
Honestly, I loved the way that it looked!😍 it low-key has me considering them one day!🤔 lol
What's the name of the product again?
Yesss 🤎🧡💜
I experienced the same thing in my 4A/B hair. I had to twirl it a lot to get the root to set in the finger coil. Worst detangling session I had in my 9 years of being natural. Probably wouldn't do finger coils ever again.
Thank you for this because I've tried finger coiling a few times, and it always led to started locs 😅😅😅. I try it again, twirling less
Yess!🤗🤗 You can do it!
And you’re welcome!🫶🏾🥰
But those curls are the definition of perfection👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
OMG it turned out beautiful!!:)💞😇
Yes or if you do this method. Wash it a week later and not 2 weeks. Before everything starts to lock.
Ahhh!! Such a great point!! I feel like I definitely went too long😖 lol
It takes hair YEARS to fully loc, not weeks 🤦🏿♀️🤣! There’s a difference between tangled and loc’d hair!
@@ShadesofSage yes it does but when you have curly hair like this and you curl it really tight. I can start the process of locs. Which makes it really difficult when you go to detangle. Can cause a lot of breakage if you aren't careful. I know I've done it before.
It was cute doh.😩
Yep this is exactly how I plan to loc my hair. I've just been debating what size and whether I'm doing it myself or not
It’s so cute though
Beautiful 😍💜
Thanks for the starter Locs method although it wasn't intentional 😂
🤣🤣😂🫶🏾❤️
Your fingers didn't fall off? Mine would of lol
the locs are cute
Thanks for the wonderful advice, boo! You really have set the natural community on fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 on YT ever since you came back! You’ve been dropping gem 💎 after gem 💎 after gem 💎 and I absolutely love it all!
This comment really just made me smile!🥹🫶🏾🫶🏾 thank you sooo much! I really appreciate you a lot!🥰🩷
The coils remind me of the the girl on the just for me relaxer box 😂
I love watching starter loc videos because of this curls, but I couldn’t do locs.
Ive been finger coiling my hair and it makes my hair sooooo much prettier

This is literally how I started my 2nd set of locs 😅
But the twirls look so cuteeeee! Shiny and bouncy
Yeah I think we’ve all made similar mistakes. I did some mini twists using gel at the roots and kept them in for three weeks, and some of mine started to loc up too and were hell to take out. We live and learn on this natural hair journey. ❤
Or just section and detangle before washing. Because that was Gorgeous ❤
Pretty sure she did that. Why do you think you're suggesting something innovative ?
@@ananse77 hey lady 🤗. You would be surprised to know how many people do not section their hair first. And the fact I didn't see that, made me offer a suggestion to those who have not been that innovative yet ☺️. Love you. Hope your day is going well 😚
By far the most beautiful curls

Gotta love a creator with integrity ❤. Your hair is super cute!
New music?! I can't wait!!! Your harmonies are always on point and the melody of this teaser sounds lovely 😌🎶
Thanks for being honest!! Still looks bomb!
My lil 4c hair tries to lock up in almost any style if I just leave it alone lol. But great tip! Just need to deep condition and finger detangle and then brush from bottom to top while rinsing hair. The finger comb method is fantastic, but 10 little twirls ain’t gonna coil much on my head, it would still be an Afro lol. Great video!! Thanks for the tip
Those curls looked amazing for a special occasion, though!! 😍😍😍
Its looks great. I'd suggest just not allow them to stay that long or keep a leave in that have alot of slip of flaxseed gel. I love the loook on you❤
So beautiful 😍
But it looks so good lol Imma do it 😂😂😂
Locs would be sooooo pretty on you 🥰
Agreed! I did this a few weeks ago and STRUGGLED detangling!!😫😫😫 never again
Looks beautiful but I already knew what's up. I was like "maybe she won't have the same issues as everyone."
Thanks for the update.
It looked beautiful "locked"
That’s how I started mine
I usually finger coil in larger clumps and then separate the next day. Maybe try that way?
It looks good though!!!!!
Omg, the one time I tried this on my type 4 hair in high school, I wound up in tears because i realized this is basically locs 😭 Now I am happily locd as an adult LOL
Yea that’s how mine was lmao the end knot together n shit like damn
This is exactly how I started my daughter’s locs.
Looks gorgeous anyways
It’s so beautiful!
Girl your loc would’ve looked soo good if you did decide to keep them in !
You just should thoroughly detangle dust before washing. How to do starter locs is funny though😂. Washing immediately instead of doing a finger detangle with water and conditioner and then using a wide tooth comb is the solution when coming out of finger coils. Easy wash set up every time❤
The locs would be stunning too though. An option you can rock.
Please use lots of conditioner to detangle your hair before washing it. This style is so beautiful.
Wow ,looks sooo goood😮 ❤

So pretty ❤
So cute! You could pull off locs though!
That was definitely my initial thought like "wow I wonder how it is to wash and detangle when finished with the style"
🤣🤣😂😭
Thanks for the honesty 💯💯
Gorgeous 😊

(But note I have between 4a, 3c, hair, and A LOT of it is damaged from when I used to get relaxers, I do think it depends on how tight the coils are.)
This has happened to me and I honestly have never had so much anxiety trying to detangle my hair. I was crying 😭
I was honestly THIS CLOSE to crying 👌😭😭 lol
This happened to me before too 😩 never again 😭
I was a finger coil girl when my hair was a TWA and mid length. I turned into a twist out girl after I almost locked my hair too lol🤣
You have to spray with water and leave in conditioner and keep moisturized
I need to do this 😅
This happened to me the first time i did finger coils and ive never attempted them again 😅 also eventually realized i was twirling too much but i dont want to try it again
I did this before, curls came out after I combed out. But it lasted through washing, so neat.
If you don’t want fully coils and only want your real curl pattern present just coil the very beginning root don’t go down all the way not even half way just enough to separate the hair but leave it in a bigger block for the curl to form.
this is how my mom started my locs for me, lol
The style looked beautiful though ❤. I wouldn't have tried it anyway just bc my hair starts locking 6-7 days post and it's even worse when I twist my hair 😮💨 oh well wouldn't change it 😌
Ooooooouuuu girl them locs would have been GORGEOUS 🔥
It looks good though
I high key learned that lesson as well. It was frustrating🤦♀️
Thank You for the tip!!!
How did you get your hair that curly i understand its coiling and its very beautiful like what ingredients did you use
You just have to comb out those curls before washing you hair. Use some conditioner and do it on wet hair.
But those locs are so prettyyy!! Beautiful mistake
Pretty
so I just cleanse and condition my hair then after while still damp/wet I apply natural only oil and then use a bristle brush to brush sections of my hair from tip to root and my curls are uniformed close to this style. after I will lightly twist or braid to hold the smooth lay of my hair. I can undo and leave the house curly but smooth or easily straighten my head within 15mins
sometimes conditioning first then lightly shampoo after because curls but want to straighten hair without heavy load of product on my hair so heat isn't overrunning with product
Girrlll something similar happened to me. I twirl 2 to 3 times and keept it moving.
Hmm... i should do this. I want to loc my hair.
When I finger coil my curls that naturally separate I notice less detangling.
Locked or not it is nice❤
The very first and only time quite frankly I did coils it was beautiful but I did twirl too much and also almost had locs lol but for next time I know what to do Glad im not alone 👏🏽
Cute but doesn’t matter how many twists i do if i keep them in for too long they always mat up who finna comb em out😂
Please which cream did u use?
Should've brushed it out before washing. Adding water to hair unnaturally curled around itself while always lock up.
I had this experience with one of my children. Her hair was cute, but after 3 days it was a mess trying to get out.
When I take my twists out let them stay for a few weeks 😅😅 hair be dangnear locked
If your hair would have locked it would still be stunning!!
Gorgeous look tho
How long did you keep it in? Just
Curious.
