finger curls

Hand strength training

Finger curls are a strength exercise targeting the forearm muscles, performed by curling the fingers around a weight—typically a barbell or dumbbell—using only finger and wrist movement while the forearm remains stationary: I've been doing finger curls to improve my grip strength.

The term also describes a hairstyling technique where hair is wound around a finger and pinned to create tight, defined curls.
