Right. I did finger coils the other day. They took me 4 hours and they didn't even come out right. My hair would be perfect finger coils in the back then the crown of my head they started getting puffy and the front of my hair would coil til about halfway down and then the rest was straight. It looked like I was transitioning from a relaxer in the front and I didn't like it at all. I washed it out the next day and did a wash n go to make sure my hair wasn't damaged. I'll try again in a few months but I'll try finger rolling instead. All that patience just for it not to come out right. Smh.

Since I fall in this category, mousse gel grade 2 or 3 works wonders for my curls, just make sure there's a leave in conditioner beforehand. And of course you'll need a cowash, S&C, and a deep conditioner. Optional is a sea salt spray to add more volume. And never style your hair when its dry, soaking wet is best in my experience.

I am a 15 year old, my whole life my family were the ones who used to take care of my hair. The past two years, I was the one who ‘took care of them’ (the only thing I knew was straighting it. I ended up damaging my hair. For like 5 months, I didn’t straighten my hair cuz we had no events or guests and I was too lazy to do anything. I have seen a huge difference between the roots and the ends. After I have seen my favorite actors with perfect hair, I never said I wished I had straight hair, I said I wished I had perfect curls. Now I am taking care of my hair and didn’t use iron and heat in months. My hair is becoming better and better and it is even growing very long! Now, the only thing I am thinking about is if I should cut my damaged ends (which will make my hair when it’s curly very short) or just repair them.

Perfect timing! My hair has been changing since I hit my 30s and for the first time I have wave. I struggle with getting volume and curl at the roots. Can’t wait to try the finger rolling on my wash day!

You're like the big sis who knows the best advices so you don't have to struggle on your own. I love you so much, girl, you changed my life. Thank you!

I had tried the finger coiling early on when I was figuring out my curl pattern and it just straightened out my fragile curls. Makes sense now. I'll have to try the other technique. My curls/waves are still pretty loose so we shall see. They used to just fall flat and frizz until I finally got the right products, application and diffusing method down.

Guys remember!! For each side she does, when she times remember that she’s only doing one side, so! Ex finger coiling took 15 minutes on one side! If she were to do her whole head that would be 15x2 so in reality it would take 30mins. Just a reminder. And it also depends on how fast or slow u are.

invest in a satin/silk bonnet and a satin/silk pillowcase. when you sleep the curls last and all you have to do is refresh some frizzy pieces.

yes to what Mya said, also make sure youre using products with hold, like a mousse&/gel. even if it makes your hair feel crunchy at first, it's worth it for longer lasting results!

@@ManesByMell Love your channel! I'm learning a lot. Unfortunately I just can't imagine wearing a bonnet to bed - I don't think I'd be able to sleep as I'm a light sleeper as it is.

Roll....noooooo! Finger coiling drives me "crazy" Can't imagine what finger rolling would do! 🤯

In my opinion it's easier try it

Omg love how you have two different colours on opposite shoulders ❤️

Your hair is so beautiful. I would do anything to have coils like this. However, you do give us 2c wave peeps hope. Thank you for addressing all levels of coil/curl/wave ❤️

One of the things I usually struggle with when finger coiling, using the denman brush or any other method where I style each curl separately is that my curls go into different direction (counter-clockwise, clockwise) seemingly at random. So when wet, I tend to scrunch them first to see which way they rotate and then style them accordingly. Just looking at Mel's video and the direction the curls turned afterwards, I think doing the finger rolling *under* the hair clump (‾‾o) makes the curl go clockwise, so rolling them *above* the hair clump (__o) should make them go counter-clockwise. I think. As I don't see what else would affect the direction. I need to try it :D

How do you section your hair so easily- mine never sections properly. lol

I get so jealous when I see people section their hair at ease. It’s so hard for me to section my hair and keep it detangled because I have so much hair.

ah, my hair is thoroughly prepped with a leave-in detangling conditioner that helps with the slip, then i use my nails to help create clean parts when sectioning. Note that i have fine hair so it's easier than thicker, coarser curls !

Honestly, I shake my hair dry after I get out the shower. And then scrunch when it's almost dry. That's it, that's how I style my hair. If you would even call it that.

I’ve tried so many different ways of styling my curly hair but no matter what I do my roots are always frizzy even while wet. I’m not sure what else to try or do 😢

Same here! I don’t know what to do at this point either. I watched so many videos and I still can’t figure out how to make my roots look like the ends (my curls look so good at the ends).

that's probably just your regrowth hairs, it's completely normal!! Plus, it's a good thing because it means your hair is growing back after shedding. Dont be so hard on yourself; it can be hard to see on camera but i have it too

LOVE the break down with the magnifying glass, thank you for the explanations

Wow this is so cool!!! I’ve never styled my full hair like this before! I might try out the way you do this on my hair and post a video!!☺️💛Thank you so much!!!

It would be nice to see some tips for short curly hair. Not everyone has long hair and the majority of the curly hair videos the women have long hair. I am in the process of transitioning my hair from straightening it to allowing my naturally curly hair to do its thing AND I have decided to stop dying it as well and embrace my grays. My plan is to allow it to grow out to shoulder length but in the meantime I need HELP (or tips) with styling techniques. Sometimes my head looks like a big ball because of the length of my hair.

So when you do these techniques, do already apply your gel or after the rolling/coiling?
