Finger Coils Revisited

I didn't like the way the finger coils turned out the first time I did them. So this time around I took my time doing the finger coils, using Kinky Curly Curling Custard (KCCC). I sealed in moisture using a shea butter and extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) mix before rewetting hair and applying KCCC. So far finger coils have lasted and this is day 3, with 1 work out session.

Jamila Henna /Finger Coils

For my 2nd henna treatment I used Jamila BAQ 2009. It was on sale on www.hennaforhair.com and I am one of those ladies that cannot pass up on a good deal...but I digress. So I used the same henna recipe (leaving out the lemon juice - see henna post) and added honey instead...thank you Curly Nikki http://www.curlynikki.com/2008/12/henna-pictorial.html. It worked out well.

I love the Jamila henna. It washed off easily and left no henna residue in my hair. I also like the color of my hair although this may be due to the fact it's my 2nd henna treatment. I must say since using henna my hair is breaking less, is so soft and has a wonderful shine to it.
