Add "Coily" to the Dictionary!




Curly hair has many dimensions from kinky, to coily, and back to curly again! Wait, did I just get spell checked for typing coily again?

So let's put it in Merrium-Webster's Dictionary!

Coilyhair.com describes coily as "natural hair texture which describes the size of a curl, which can range from pencil size to as small as a pen spring coil. Coily hair texture is most common those who have ethnic roots in Africa. Coily hair can also be defined as "tightly curled" hair.

Transitioning from chemically altered to natural hair constitutes more than a physical change. For me, even semantics have played a role. In blog posts regarding natural hair growth, "coily" is a commonly used term that no longer needs to be spell-checked.
