How to Create Pin Curls
Pin curls were a big style in the 1920’s when curling barrels weren’t always around. Pin curls are a great way to get beautiful and long lasting curls. You don’t have to go to an expensive salon to get the perfect curls, because I am going to show you how.
There are two ways you can create pin curls. One way is by doing a:
Wet Set
Step 1: Wash and shampoo your hair thoroughly. Towel dry your hair, you can leave your hair damp. Comb or use your fingers to detangle any pieces of hair. If your hair doesn’t hold curls well, you can apply some setting lotion.
Step 2: Gather together bobby pins and a rat tail comb.
Step 3: Use a comb to divide you’re into small one inch sections. One by one wrap each section around your finger tightly while holding your finger close to your head. Slowly slip your finger off the hair and pin the hair down to your head with a bobby pin. You may need to use two hair pins.
Step 4: Continue repeating Step 3 until your whole head is in pin curls. Before you go to sleep make sure you wrap your hair in a silk scarf.
Dry Set
Step 1: Wash and shampoo your hair as if you would doing a wet set. Comb the tangles out of your hair and blow dry your hair on cool or if you want you can let your hair air dry.
Step 2: With your bobby pin and rat tail comb nearby, section hair into one inch sections and apply setting lotion or “spit” as they did in the 1920’s.
Step 3: This is where the difference from a wet set comes into play. One by one twist the section of hair, starting with the ends all the way to the roots. Wind the twisted hair around your finger and pin your hair done to your head with bobby pins.
By doing either a dry or wet set you can create beautiful pin curls that will last for at least a week. All you have to do is wake up in the morning and just simply have beautiful hair!
