How to Do Comb Coils on Natural Hair
Comb coils are a popular hairstyle for people with natural hair. They are easy to create, and they can last for several days. In this blog post, we will walk you through the steps of creating comb coils.
Here are some tools and materials you will need:
- A wide-tooth comb
- A spray bottle filled with water
- A leave-in conditioner
- Styling gel or cream
- Optional: A hair scarf or bonnet
Step 1: Prepare Your Hair
Start by washing and conditioning your hair. Once your hair is clean and conditioned, apply a leave-in conditioner to help detangle and moisturize your hair.
Next, section your hair into small, even sections. The size of the sections will determine the size of your coils. Smaller sections will result in tighter coils. If you have longer hair, you may want to use smaller sections. If you have shorter hair, you may want to use larger sections.
Step 2: Create the Coils
Now, it's time to create the coils. Begin by taking a small section of hair and wrapping it around the comb. Once you have wrapped the hair around the comb a few times, gently pull the comb out of the hair. This will leave a coil in your hair.
Repeat this process with all of the hair sections.
Step 3: Secure the Coils
Once you have created all of the coils, you can secure them with a styling gel or cream. This will help to hold the coils in place and prevent them from unraveling.
You can also choose to wear a hair scarf or bonnet overnight to help keep your coils in place.
Tips for Maintaining Your Comb Coils
Here are a few tips for maintaining your comb coils:
- Avoid touching your hair too much. This can cause your coils to unravel.
- Keep your hair moisturized. This will help to prevent your hair from becoming dry and brittle.
- Use a satin pillowcase when you sleep. This will help to prevent your hair from becoming frizzy.
Conclusion
Comb coils are a versatile hairstyle that can be worn for a variety of occasions. They are easy to create, and they can last for several days. With a little practice, you can create beautiful and stylish comb coils.
