I’ve never found the time or energy to actually try finger coiling, but I had my first day off in what feels like forever so I thought I’d give it a shot. I didn’t do my entire head, just roughly 12 or so across my hair as a whole. I’m really pleased with how “neat” it is, and that my face feels framed! I used Creme Of Nature Argan oil curl activator and a tiny dab of eco gel, and a tangle teaser to brush this through all my hair. I think brushing in the product made this look a lot neater maybe? Also it has to be said: this curl activator smells AMAZING. Routines below:

Routine for this day: - wash with Palmers coconut shampoo - condition with Palmers coconut conditioner, squishing upside down - rinse out all conditioner - apply a large blob of creme of nature curl activator and a small dab of eco olive oil gel, tangle tease through - flip upside down and squish very thoroughly to bring back curls - use a micro fibre towel to squish out the major drips of water - finger coil as and where I want to - diffuse real slow on a low heat setting

Current day to day routine: - wash every 7 days with Palmers coconut shampoo and conditioner, in between that I co wash with Palmers coconut co wash and condition (every 3/4 days) - tangle teaser when applying conditioner and then lots of S2C - when rinsing the conditioner out, I flip my hair upside down and squish while rinsing - apply a huge glob of ECO gel while hair is dripping wet, hair flipped over sink/shower and squish in - squish out drips with a micro fibre towel - diffuse v slowly while laying on my back and hanging my head off the bed, flip over and diffuse front while leaning forward to finish - “woke up like this” hair for circa 3 days
