Hello ladies! I want to try finger coils on my hair after the twist challenge. If you have done this, what product did you use? I dont want the coils to dry hard. TIA!!

I haven't done the finger coils on my hair yet, but Eco Style Olive Oil gel should get it hard for you..and it doesn't flake.

Here is a video of some that I did if you are interested. I was not talking in it because my daughter was asleep. I was just showing how I did mine and what I used.

I forgot to add that they ringlets stayed soft and shiney for a couple of days. They did not go flat the next morning either.

@Sweetdrk1 wow your coils are perfect!

I did a finger coil puff a couple of weeks ago and it turned out pretty decent...I used Giovanni Direct leave-in and Ecostyler Olive Oil gel.

ok im a newbie, just did my bc on 4/26/10 and did my first finger coil ( I think; my avatar picture), so I'm still learning. it looks like our hair textures are similar, and i notice that in your last picture it looks kinda puffy and then curly (does that make sense). this is how mine looks, and i wanted to know is this normal? i was also reading other posts on scab hair and was wondering if that had something to do with why certain areas of my hair looked puffy and then the curl...

Your should try the eco custard. It's a mixture of gel and oils.

1/2 cup of eco styler gel
1 tablespoon of castor oil
1 tablespoon of EVOO
1 tablespoon of avocado oil
