Achieving perfectly defined curls may seem impossible, but what if I told you there’s a technique that can help you get them almost every time? Enter finger coils! But what are finger coils, and how can you master them? In this blog, we’ll dive into everything you need to know.

What are Finger Coils?

Finger coils are a type of curl created by wrapping sections of natural hair around your finger, resulting in uniform, defined curls. The beauty of finger coils is their versatility, they work on all hair textures and lengths. Whether you want voluminous hair by working in small sections or a more relaxed style with larger sections, finger coils give you all the options.

How To Finger Coil Natural Hair

Follow the steps below to achieve gorgeous finger coils:

1. Start with freshly washed and conditioned hair.
2. Apply a curl cream that provides moisture without being too heavy.
3. Divide your hair into four sections. Clip away the sections you're not working on.
4. Grab a piece of hair in your desired size and twirl it from root to tip using your fingers.
5. Repeat this process throughout your hair. Alternate the direction of the twirl for a more natural look. Tip: Keep a spray bottle of water nearby to re-dampen areas that start to dry, as wet hair is key for defined finger coils.
6. Dry your curls using a blow-dryer with a diffuser, a hooded dryer, or let your hair air-dry. If air-drying, avoid touching your curls to prevent frizz.

How To Maintain Finger Coils

Here are some tips to keep your finger coils looking fresh longer:

• Sleep with a silk or satin bonnet to prevent frizz and breakage.
• Avoid unnecessary touching, as this can cause frizz.
• Keep your hair moisturised. A spray moisturiser works best, as creams can be tricky to apply on finger coils.
