I finally decided to do the comb coils. I discussed all my worries about comb coils here, but despite those worries, I decided to give it a try anyway. You never know unless you try right?!
As you all know, I'm not into the tight curl look. Everyone at the salon was doting over the before look and wanting me to leave with my hair like that. I already knew I wanted my hair untwisted, so there was no way I was keeping my hair twisted (below pic). The before twists were just way too tight and flat on my head. Here's a picture of what the coils looked like before they were untwisted:

Super tight curls and too flat, right?
I knew going into this that the after look would already look tight enough...at least for 3 or 4 days. However, I was willing to give it a try. So I did!! Here's the after look:

Comb coils can be used to start dreadlocks. They move like dreads too. I went through a small period during middle school when I thought I wanted dreads, but I decided against it when I realized I'd have to cut my hair off if I didn't want them anymore. I also went through a "crunk" stage in college - a time during which shaking dreads was very prevalent. Ever since the song 'Knuck If You Buck" came out I've wanted to "shake my dreads" so bad. This is the closest I'm going to get to doing it!! So every now and then I "shake my dreads". LOL.
STILL! I'm definitely ready for these jokers to fall...but I am enjoying the new look.
