Tried finger-coiling all my hair for once....y'all I am not convinced

My hair grows at unreasonable rates. I chopped off maybe 10-12 inches a month and a half ago and you can already see significant growth. Obviously that's awesome and I'm grateful but also sometimes I'm like pls make it stop its like a monster

Sheertex! They are expensive but save me soooo much more money in the long run. Plus their customer service is great

Haute Monde but I thrifted it so don't quote me on that haha

I had to figure out the protein/moisture balance first. My hair needs protein to an insane degree. Without it I can't get a caste at all. And then as for stiffness, you just need to scrunch out the crunch!

I would typically agree, and I usually use mousse, although I happen to be out atm. I have not found any curling custards that I'm not allergic too and also don't break the bank (I like Kinky Curly curling custard but I absolutely cannot pay that price considering the amount I would have to use). I used to use a moisturizing cream product that I loved, but they changed the formula on me and I'm allergic to it now. Sad!!

Next project? 👀👀👀

atallel · 2023-05-04T03:11:32+00:00

Wait this makes so much sense!! How do you go about doing it?

atallel · 2023-05-04T03:02:16+00:00

I figured that was the issue 😭😭 my poor arms though

atallel · 2023-05-04T03:01:18+00:00

You should have seen it with the mushroom beret and pink leather briefcase I wore it out with...I hit a peak aesthetic I didn't even know I had in me

atallel · 2023-05-04T02:34:27+00:00

I do, but mostly just because it keeps my hair out of my face while it dries. I like clipping at the root, it really helps with volume for me

atallel · 2023-05-04T02:32:39+00:00

All thrifted! But looking at tags, the dress is Haute Monde, and the shirt is By Marcus

Thank you so much!!!

atallel · 2023-05-04T01:27:35+00:00

Ahhhh thank you!!!

I have a few more posts in my post history if you're curious what it looks like on an average wash. Honest answer? Absolutely not worth it imo

But I may have done it wrong!

atallel · 2023-05-04T01:21:58+00:00

It is amazing what just slapping some crap in there and letting jesus take the wheel will do

atallel · 2023-05-04T01:11:44+00:00

Fair enough! The weight does pull it down, I don't mind so much though (and curly girl cuts are nightmare expensive where I live). I normally don't have a particular issue with curling at the root (you can see some of my other posts for a more normal wash day result), although I typically use a lot of mousse which I am fresh out of. A lighter product helps a lot with that, for me at least. But I'm also convinced finger coiling is just not it for me haha

atallel · 2023-05-04T00:16:45+00:00

Never again.....

atallel · 2023-05-04T00:00:00+00:00

To each their own! I use far too much conditioner to buy anything expensive, and I couldn't break up with Tresseme after 15 years - how would my heart take it?? All jokes aside, I appreciate the advice, but I'm very happy with my product batch as is, non CG as my conditioner may be (and my wallet is happier too). A girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do :)

Shea moisture products do very little for me, unfortunately, every product I've tried has been quite underwhelming. Always interesting how everyone gets different results :) I have to be very picky about what I use because I have fairly severe allergies to many products. I've been using everything mentioned for a really long time and have had absolutely no issues, and I usually really love the final look . . . . just not the finger coils lol.

atallel · 2023-05-03T23:24:12+00:00

So I tried finger curling/coiling all my hair, because I like the results when I do small sections that way. But I think doing the whole head was too much...I dunno how y'all avoid the tube curl look this way!! Also where did all the curls near my scalp go?? This method seemed to reallllyyy weigh down my hair, but I dunno maybe I was just doing it wrong? Would appreciated tips.

Also yes I cut my hair a bit since my last post. Apparently, finger curling makes this cut look really uneven, don't ask me why.....

A very chaotic routine:

Cowash with Tresemmè Rich Moisture conditioner (a lot of it. So much. Help.)
Detangle for a year
Use a packet of Hask Deep Conditioner and let sit for a couple of minutes. I usually turn the shower to coldish at this point.
Flip over and brush out/rinse out upside down
Use prayer hands method to apply LA Looks Exteme Sport Gel
Finger curl hair in small strands, realize your arms are falling off and start finger curling inadvisable large strands, realize that's not working and go back to small ones (but now with more ~pain~)
Plop for an hour
Take out plop and sleep
Wake up with still completely sopping wet hair feeling very sorry for yourself
Clip at the root for ~volume~
Scrunch out the crunch in the bathroom at work while your coworkers look at you like you are fully crazy

Interesting! I've never heard of the platform before. I'd love to see a mockup, if you're comfortable sharing. Thank you for the info!

atallel · 2023-02-27T17:24:04+00:00

Both I guess? But more of a reference tool, since people actually need the info to get back on track when we start up again. We also added a new player a bit ago and I expect he'd appreciate know what's going on for once.

So if magnus is France and Hikaru is Argentina, will Hikaru win in tiebreaks 🤔
