WhitneyPin Curling
December 13th 2007 11:04
Although it was at one stage in fashion, pin curling is now unusual enough to count as 'alternative' in my books - if only because I love the look.
[I've seen a couple of different methods of creating them, but the most obvious one is:
1. Start with damp (not wet) hair.
2. Add a small amount of gel to hair.
3. Take a small section and smooth it out before twirling it around a finger in the direction you want the curl to go, until you reach your scalp.
4. Gently slide the curl off your finger and hold it tightly against the scalp with a thumb and forefinger.
5. Using pin curl pins rather than bobby pins (as bobby pins can change the shape of the curl) pin the curl in place.
6. Repeat for each section of hair you want curled.
7. When taking the curls out, comb the gel out carefully.
That's pretty much it! Whether or not bobby pins are acceptable to use is debateable, they work pretty well on my hair (well enough that I am yet to purchase pin curl pins) but other people have different results.
