"OH, I figured it out! OH, I figured it out!!" You are my person and I'm literally laughing out loud.. It's the first video of yours I've seen and I have found my person. Hallelujah.
Finally someone who shows how to start the roll, not just the rolling action! I watched like five videos that claimed to show me how to finger roll and yet they always edit out the part where you get it started. Thank you!!
I’ve been using this method on my hair for years, but I pin the curls in place and let them dry. I basically just do the top layer. I find I get more consistent results this way, rather than putting my hopes on my own waves. Janelle-your hair looks great!
@@cathismith2624 I usually air dry unless I’m very short on time. I use jumbo bobby pins to pin at the base of the curl. Ideally is to pin curl at night and let curls dry overnight. Since the pin curls are on top the of the head only, they are comfortable for sleeping.
@@aprilfoolsbb1 I pin the top section of my hair and the crown. The number of curls depends on how much hair I put in each, but for the top section mentioned there are usually about 9-10 curls. My hair is shoulder length and it takes about 5 min to pin curl that top section. (I’ve timed it. LOL). PS-yes I’ve slept with it this way. It is comfortable because it’s on the top of my head, so I’m not laying on it.
This is called barrel curling, you learn how to do this method in hair school/cosmetology school along with pin curls. You can pin barrel curls by standing them upwards and pinning them at the base of your section or in this case curl, for a wet set and lots of corwn volume. They have special little clips for easy removal when dry at Sally's.
Umm try Looking up double pronged curl clips. They are metal double ponged, and hinged on one end. about the length of a bobby pin. Hope this helps lol.
My grandmother used to do this to me she would put pen curls all over my head and pin them down with bobby pins and I would sleep on them and wake up like curly Sue the next morning 😂😂
This might be a total game changer! Finger coiling has never worked for me. And as someone who's not on IG or TikTok I really appreciate you sharing this. Looking lovely!
My bf has curly hair and over the years without any specific care they’ve gotten looser so I’ve been doing all this research to see how to give him his curls back and this video is super helpful! Absolutely going to give this a try, thank you :)
OMG...this is a game changer! Thank you, thank you, thank you. I stopped coloring my hair just over a year ago and I am mostly salt and pepper with white sections. My greys and whites have never behaved or curled like my natural hair did. I have been struggling to find the right products and techniques to take care of my silvers. I had no idea how difficult this would be. My silvers are dry, unruly and have a mind of their own. The 2 things I tried today upon watching your videos are: damp styling and this coiling technique. I am amazed at the difference. You are the best and I am truly grateful for your postings.
I, like a lot of people, gave myself many a quarantine haircut and I would do this on my bangs/face frame to get it both defined and styled. It totally works and lasts longer when pinned until dry!
I'm not very dextrous but I get similar results using a traditional mini-barrel curling iron (the type with a pincer clip along the length of the barrel) cold... Just rolling the iron horizontally up each curl to the roots, lightly opening the pincer and sliding the iron out sideways.
😊 I can't take credit for it as my mom and grandma did similar when I was little (albeit usually with some heat). It worked then and so when I started to embrace my curls as an adult I gave it a try. I let my hair dry naturally and don't use much products, so sometimes I'll pin a few of the curls up until dry as I find they keep the most definition that way.
@@Dwynfal I love this idea - but as I have never used a curling iron, I don't even own one!! I might have to invest in a really cheap one now!! Thank you 🥰
My favorite technique is doing a hybrid version of finger coiling with my denman brush. So I guess it’s called denman coiling? It creates the most juicy, perfect curls. Highly recommend, y’all.
It’s the same thing to get the same result. It may not come out like a coil because that all depends on your hair porosity. So it’s like the pot calling the kettle black. Literally the same thing.
@@bellagray7974 no not at all it doesn’t give the same result, you should try both and tell me how that works out for u. Coiling gives this dread loc curl effect. Finger rolling gives an actual curl effect.
@@bellagray7974 no ma’am, as i said b4 try both method on your hair. There’s also sooo many videos of girls trying both methods check out mane by mell video she did 1/2 her hair finger roll and the other 1/2 finger coiling and it’s completely different.
@@bellagray7974 Nope, they're different styling methods for a reason. They don't give the exact same effect. YOU'RE doing something wrong if your hair looks the same when you do either method. That's coming from me and I tried BOTH ways.
Your smile and laughter is infectious! ❤️ I’m still getting used to my changing hair (yay hormones! 🙄) and I get SO frustrated trying to style my hair. 🤦🏼♀️ Thank you for all the tips and tricks to make it more efficient.
I gave this a try tonight when I washed/styled and at first I thought I was doing it wrong because it didn't seem like it was doing anything but alas, when it air dried the one piece at my front that has been completely limp, was a beautiful barrel curl that matched the rest of my hair 🥰
It’s insane you just posted this! I have been a long time subscriber and spent 3 hours searching and watching videos on this yesterday . Now I get someone with my hair type doing it! Yay!!!!
I use mousse in every strand of hair, I finger roll it and just pin it so it can have more strenght and better definition and it looks awesome defined!!! I found my curls looks little looser without the mousse, I recommend it!💗
Jannelle O'Shaughnessy definitely! My top layer is damaged and more wavy than curly and my bottom layer gets super curly. I’m trying to find a way to kind of balance it out!
I've been selectively finger coiling my hair to help it figure out what is going on after an at home hair cut haha. I've seen this floating about, thanks for breaking it down!
@@weruleyoudrool oh No! I did that a couple of weeks ago! 😂😂 It was a frizzy mess in the morning. I had an appointment and knew if I started again it would take ages! So I decided to straighten it for the first time in well over 5 years! Oh my god, i hated it! It was so boring, I preferred the mess when I woke up! 😂 it looked really healthy and shiny so that was a bonus, but never again! I want to try this curling technique again next wash day! 🥰
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE you! Your laugh is contagious and it makes me smile because I, too, have a gigantic laugh that my kids make fun of (for being SO LOUD). Your videos are always so fun ❤️ I feel like we could be friends in real life, lol.
OMG 😱 I admire who will do this all over!!! Its the finger coiling and it "drives me up the wall". You have great hair! By the way, you also have a very uplifting laugh and personality. 👍
So grateful for this. Mel of manes by Mel did a demo of finger rolling, but she’s a pro, so I couldn’t get it. I think your tips will help. That’s the beauty of community. She’s wonderful & you too! Thanks!
YES thank you so much for this. I am so excited to try this next wash day! Finger coiling feels like it stretches my curls since they're not very tight OR idk, too "spiraly"? But not like ringlets lol
Yeah these methods elongate the curls which I don’t like either. I use a denman brush after detangling my hair & flip my hair when brushing through from the roots to the ends and that gives tight curls !
Your hair & makeup look so good & I'm loving your grays 🥰 I haven't seen this method before but i haven't had luck in the past finger coiling so I'll give it a try! 😊✌
I have a mix of 3C & 4A curls, and although both of the coiling AND the rolling techniques work for me, I don’t like either, because it elongates my curls and I don’t like that. I’m all for the tight coils my hair naturally gravitates to, so I do the flipping thing with my denman brush from the roots to the ends (after detangling of course) 😁
I have type 2c-3a hair that is also fine like yours... finger coiling could work for you, but with a slightly different technique... Pull the curl firmly with one (probably your less dominant) hand then with the other start finger coiling with an inch or so between your finger and your scalp. Make sure you direct the end of the curl to wrap around your coil ABOVE the finger doing the coiling, almost like you’re folding it in half. The bottom part of the curl gets caught in the coil above your coiling finger and gets winded in. When the end catches, let it go with your one hand while the other continues coiling down until the very end twists through. Not sure if that made ANY sense 😂, but your hair is curly enough that finger coiling can definitely work well for you!
My granny’s hair was a little shorter but she did this every night and used the aluminium clips all over her head and then tied it down with a chiffon scarf and undid it every morning. This video brought me back ❤️
Great to see the result on you. I saw Mell do this on YT but on her hair the coils work better obvi. Your hair is so similar to mine so it was great to see it in action. I'm definitely gonna try it with some of my lazy pieces on the next wash day. :)
ive been curling my hair ever since 2nd grade. It made the front and top of my hair was really curly and the sides and back not so. i would then always get questions on hs if my curls were real or not lmao
I don’t think the credit belongs to anyone because I don’t think there’s a specific someone that created this because ive been doing this for my ringlet sidewalk chalk size curls for yearsss and never saw anyone do anything like this. I developed doing that on my own so I feel like there’s a lot of people that also most likely just did it themselves as well so I don’t think there’s genuinely a specific person that “created” this 😊
"OH, I figured it out! OH, I figured it out!!"

Do you air dry it or diffuse? Also, what do you use to pin the curls?

My top layer is so lame. I’m tired of the waves not watching my inner curls.
How many do u pin and how long does it take u? Have u ever slept that way?

@@JannelleOShaughnessy For sure!! Your results were amazing! ♥️
Yes!
Totally here for the 'would I do this all over my head? Hell no!' - I feel overwhelmed just thinking about!
Looks great. I will try it with a tiny bit of gel on each curl for this method with wet hands. Thanks for being our curl tester!

This is exactly what I need, I have lovely ringlets except on the top layer!
I now understand the starting part of finger rolling.
Thank you very much！

I’m gonna try this today I’ve been trying to watch the tutorials with much failure… fingers crossed
Omg loved the results! Thanks for the fun video!
I am so glad I found your channel. I think we're hair twins! Definitely trying this.
Works great with long hair too, I've got 18 inches of hair and it works great
I might try this on my top layer too, since the top doesn't curl up as much as the bottom (depending on the day)
Your laugh is just fantastic 😍 This worked so well! (it's Domi btw 😂)

Try coiling the other way around :)

I could be ignorant... are you and swavy curly Courtney related....?
I do this a lot (its common) lol
Use just your index fingers and instead of just dropping it, guide it as you uncoil.

Way too much trouble.
Finger coils is for African American textured hair. Straight wavy curly hair has a whole different look, therefore it's no longer finger coils.
