Coiled hairstyles have long been a staple in the natural hair community—celebrated for their definition, structure, and ability to highlight the beauty of textured hair. Whether you’re experimenting with finger coils or sculpted comb coils, these styles offer a refined way to enhance your curl pattern.
Rooted in tradition yet always evolving, coiled styles are as versatile as they are expressive. To achieve the most defined, healthy-looking curly hair coils, it all starts with a foundation of moisture, thoughtful technique, and the right products—from the first section to the final twist.
How to Achieve Trendy, Defined Coils with Ease
Start with freshly washed and detangled hair. Damp strands offer the best canvas for coil styles, allowing products to distribute evenly and set properly. Using a Length Retention Detangler Brush on damp hair helps minimize breakage and makes styling smoother.
Next, mist the hair lightly with the Hydrating Hair Mist to boost moisture, shine, and softness. Infused with Aloe Vera and Avocado Oil, this multitasking mist helps detangle, calm frizz, and prep your curls for styling.
Apply Moisture N’ Slip Curling Cream to condition and add elasticity. Enriched with Amaranth Extract, Grapeseed Oil, and Slippery Elm Extract, it smooths and softens each strand for defined, frizz-free hold. Follow with Aloequench Flaxseed Coiling Jelly, working section by section with your fingers or a rat-tail comb to create uniform coils. This jelly adds lightweight hold, shine, and scalp nourishment with Flaxseed Oil and Aloe Vera.
Once your coils are in place, let them dry completely - either air-dry or diffuse on low heat - to preserve definition and prevent frizz!
Styles to Try Right Now
-
Finger Coils: A go-to style for both beginners and seasoned naturals. This look gives you control over each coil and works well for all lengths.
-
Comb Coils: Ideal for tighter textures and shorter haircuts. Using a small comb, create uniform coils for a super sleek, defined finish.
-
Coiled Frohawk: Add edge to your look by coiling the center section of your hair and tapering the sides or pinning them flat.
-
Layered Coiled Cut: Give coils room to shine with a shaped cut that adds volume and movement. This style makes your texture the star of the show.
No matter which variation you choose, coiled styles are a beautiful way to embrace your natural pattern with a neat, dimensional finish.
Keeping Your Coils Fresh
Defined styles last longer when you take care of them at night. Swap out your cotton pillowcase for a Keep It Silky Pillowcase. Its double-lined satin helps retain moisture and reduces friction, so your coils stay intact and frizz-free between washes.
Refresh your curls as needed with the Hydrating Hair Mist, part of the Curl and Coil Defining Bundle. A quick spritz can bring life back to flattened or dry coils, making them bounce back with shine and moisture.
Nourishment is Key!
Defined curls begin with healthy, hydrated strands. Weekly deep conditioning treatments help maintain elasticity and reduce breakage—both crucial for coiled styles. And the right styling system makes all the difference when it comes to achieving and maintaining curly hair coils that feel as good as they look.
With the right tools, techniques, and product pairings, coiled hairstyles are more than just a trend - they’re a celebration of texture, tradition, and self-expression.
