Once I reminded myself of the coil out of years past I decided to try it again.
Oh how I missed it. It seems like such a cheat style- like a straw set but in a fraction of the time.
I started with freshly washed hair. I applied a small amount of Quidad leave in (what little I had left in an old bottle) then I used my tangle teaser to smooth sections and apply Giovanni Sunset Styling lotion mixed with Castor oil. I coiled each section in large singe coils, or twists and used allegator clips to keep the roots from unraveling like in the pictures below.
I sat under the dryer for an hour and 20 min then went to bed, clips removed and tied up loosely in a scarf. The next morning I didn't have time to split them all but I split just enough to finagle a style for work. When I got home I split the rest of them:
Here was the result!! I'll keep you posted on how long it lasts.
It looks great! I can't wait to try this!
ReplyDeleteVery cute! I've never tried coil-outs, definitely on my to-do list.
ReplyDeleteLooks great!
ReplyDeleteSuper cute!
ReplyDeleteVery nice!
ReplyDeleteHaven't done a coil out in forever! This is almost making me want to do one again! Maybe tonight when I co-wash!!! :)
ReplyDeleteI've never tried a coil out before because I'm not sure how it would turn out on my hair but now I definitely want to try it! xx
ReplyDeleteThat's beautiful! Was it terribly time-consuming? I think I could do the same thing (or similar) with skinny cold wave rods.
