Finger Coil Fail

So I've tried to put finger coils in my hair twice now. And each time has been an Epic Fail. Luckily, I was able to fix it with an impromptu updo for the day. 

Once I have figured out a regimen for achieving the finger coil without my roots shrinking under the coil, I'll post the results of that. 

In the meantime, I think I may have to use Rods for my heatless curls.
