Updated Wash and Go with Finger Coils

Hey Mocha Family,

The other day, a lady around my mother's age asked me what chemical I used in my hair to get it to look like this? I panicked for a moment and wondered if she thought I was rocking a Gheri Curl from the eighties or something. Ya'll know, that's my biggest fear, haha!

Truth be told, I have perfected my wash and go, learning how to work with the varying textures on my head. Most of my hairs naturally form tiny coils about the size of a pen spring. By finger coiling the other areas, I can create that pattern all over my head.

I recorded the video above in real time, while on vacation. I share all my new tricks and show you step by step how I use my products to achieve this look. As my hair gets longer, I can wear this style for about a week before having to wash and repeat the process.

Let me know what you think!

Be blessed!

Mocha Girl One's baby hair was silky straight and fine. As the weeks rolled by, it became wavier until she had a lovely curly fro. I washed it all the time . I brushed it several times a day . I tried snap clips, and moved to velcro barrets when the clips slid out. I bought a different head band for every outfit. Meanwhile her curls continued to wind tighter and tighter. I kept everything in a pretty box, dubbed the hair bin . I was really frustrated at not b...
