Pin-curl Newbie finds Body (pics)

[Nayeli]

Hi guys, I'm a newbie to pin-curling but I've been doing it a lot recently, not necessarily for the curls but moreso to give my hair more life. Mwedzi had asked if I had pics so I decided to take some yesterday.

I have fallen in love with pin curls because of how much body even imperfect pin-curls (I just grab pieces of hair) can give you.

They look good!
How do you do them?!
Mine always have randomly bent up bits, no matter what I do.

 

[SparkleDoll]

Your hair looks pretty.

 

[DDTexlaxed]

Yeah, I will be researching how to pin curl.

 

[Sapphire_chic]

oo wow i would even rock your pincurls as a style..beautiful!

 

[carolina_belle]

Your pin curls are so neat and love the results.

I'm a pin curl stan, but I use the double-pronged silver clips. Those seem to prevent those random bent pieces.

Wow, they look so neat. The end result was fabulous. You're gonna have to give more details.

I use those too. I pin curl every night with them.

Very beautiful! Thanks!

Aren't pin curls the best thing ever?! You get the best volume and lovely, fluffly curls. And they are a safe way to wear your hair to bed at night.

Thanks for sharing, it is something I still need to learn how to do.

Can't believe I slept on pin-curls for so long. I admit since I'm still learning it takes me a while and my process is a bit clumsy. I take the very end and start rolling making sure the end stays tucked within the rest of the hair. When I'm all the way up I pin the curl flat on top of the hair - I know some ladies pin the curl under the root but that's hard for me to do. Hope the explanation wasn't confusing.

I swear by pin curls! I use U-pins to secure mine...no bent pieces or lines in the morning. Your hair looks lovely, OP!

 

[MrsSmitty77]

Nice results, thanks for sharing..

Hey Chaos butterfly, try wrapping them around a roller and then turning the roller on it's side and sliding the hair off and down to form the pin curl. This should allow for a smooth result.

I love Katt's idea of u-shaped pins to secure, also. I may try that when I begin wearing my hair out.

Oh, one way I love getting loose curls is two buns in the back of my head stacked one on top of the other. I did it by accident the first time, but I oiled my hair for the night and did a low bun and my hair fell in beautiful soft waves in the morning. I had lightly secured it with a satin scrunchi.

 

[Nayeli]

Halee, I don't see why not. I know ladies with short bobs that have been pin-curling forever.

Sheba - I'm gonna try the rollers - maybe then I won't have to keep the curl so many times.
