Dry. Have tried blowdried, hair dried hanging under a dome, and airdryed then ironed

2. What type do you do (flat or immitation rollers)?

Flat

3. What do you use to hold them (bobby pins, duck clips..) ?

Bobby Pins

4. How do you do them (fingers, a roller...)?

Two fingers (one by the thumb and the next one)


5. Do you use anything to set them or hold them (Setting foam/lotion, steam from a shower or cap, leaving them in for hours....) ?

I've set them overnight, and used a steam microwave cap

6. When do you do them morning or night? Everyday?

Night, considering doing it everynight because it really cuts down on tangles and my hair looks much better. I dont know about when I airdry though.


7. Do you wear a scarf or anything on them at night or walking around the house? What type?

I wear a silk/satin mens wave cap, then just put a bandana on top of that when im sleeping....Same thing if im just walking around the house or someting.

8. How many do you do/have done, and what size curl or results do they give?

I usually do about 12-20, they give me big curls, but really just body.


9. Why do you pincurl (alternative to wrapping, preserve a rollerset, give body or curl to straightend hair...) ?

Alternative to wrapping, and to give curl because I dont like to rollerset



10. Any tips, pictures, websites/videos, links?

My only tip is when you are taking the bobby pin out to open it up instead of just sliding it off of your hair and you wont loose any hair or have breakage. Also when your sleeping on the flat ones, wearing a tight scarf like a mens wave cap will keep anything from moving and breakage from that.

Be back to post links on how to do them.

Always dry. Twice a week they will be after a rollerset, other days on "dirty" hair.

Flat

Bobby pins

Moisturiser, and a little Anita Grant's Sapote and Organic Pomade on the ends

I like the look, gives the hair a lot of body especially on freshly washed hair, easy to do and maintain

1. Do you pincurl dry or wet hair?
* If dry, how is your hair dried before? (Rollerset under a dome or airdryed, blowdried, airdried in another way, ironed after its dry.....?)
* * If wet, how do you dry the pincurls? Do you iron or blow the roots after?

I pincurl on dry hair. I've never tried it on wet hair. You can do it after anything once the hair strand is in a straightened condition. I usually rollerset though.
2. What type do you do (flat or immitation rollers)?
Immitation rollers. I wish I knew how to do the flat ones.

3. What do you use to hold them (bobby pins, duck clips..) ?

I prefer to use good day hair pins. I feel like it pulls out no hair rather then the bobby pins which do pull out some. If you don't have good day then use the duck bills.
4. How do you do them (fingers, a roller...)?

I use my finger.

5. Do you use anything to set them or hold them (Setting foam/lotion, steam from a shower or cap, leaving them in for hours....) ?

NO. I usually moisturize as usual then pincurl and put on my satin cap.

6. When do you do them morning or night? Everyday?

It depends. I do them before I go to sleep. Also, If I'm going out I'll do it like an hour or so before I leave.

7. Do you wear a scarf or anything on them at night or walking around the house? What type?

Satin cap.

8. How many do you do/have done, and what size curl or results do they give?

If I just want body I'll do like four in the back and two in the front so I can get the "cosmo swoop" If I just want the wrap look, I'll just do one giant pin curl with all my hair and put a silk headband on the front tight to get my new growth to lay down if I need a perm. If i want it curly then I'll do it similar to a mohawk rollerset with a ton of pincurls.

9. Why do you pincurl (alternative to wrapping, preserve a rollerset, give body or curl to straightend hair...) ?

For more body. I think its healthier then rollersetting. Also when I do the one big pincurl its really easy and looks good in the morning. I'm usually bunning anyways.

10. Any tips, pictures, websites/videos, links?

You can try youtube... they have EVERYTHING on there. hth

The only thing I believe its ever did (But i dont know if its the way I roll them) is have like the first 2 inches of my hair looking like "finger waves" alittle bit untill I comb that out. Thats with small ones, big ones nothing.

1. Do you pincurl dry or wet hair?
* If dry, how is your hair dried before? (Rollerset under a dome or airdryed, blowdried, airdried in another way, ironed after its dry.....?) I pincurl dry hair after a rollerset and flat ironed roots.
* * If wet, how do you dry the pincurls? Do you iron or blow the roots after?

My hair is already completley dry

2. What type do you do (flat or immitation rollers)?

Flat-I have lots of pics in my fotki. If I want ringlets, I wind it around my finger first, if I just want normal longer curls, I create them like you would a bun but without the hair band.

3. What do you use to hold them (bobby pins, duck clips..) ?

I use the bobby pins that are already open

4. How do you do them (fingers, a roller...)?

Finger or just round in a circle depending on the look I want.

5. Do you use anything to set them or hold them (Setting foam/lotion, steam from a shower or cap, leaving them in for hours....) ?

I just pincurl my hair, put on a hair net to hold them in place, sleep with them over night and they are set. I dont add any extra product

6. When do you do them morning or night? Everyday?

Night

7. Do you wear a scarf or anything on them at night or walking around the house? What type?

When I am just walking around the house I have my hair net on (and when i exercise) but when I sleep I add the headscarf...


8. How many do you do/have done, and what size curl or results do they give?

I do about 19 and the curls are fairly small but not too tight unless I create them with my finger

9. Why do you pincurl (alternative to wrapping, preserve a rollerset, give body or curl to straightend hair...) ?

To curl my hair, so that I can avoid combing (until wash day which is once every 3 weeks), preserve my rollerset, to have predictable hair in the morning-I seldom have bad hair days...


10. Any tips, pictures, websites/videos, links?

Check out my fotki

God bless

Thanks! I comb through each piece with a wide-tooth comb before I pincurl it if it's tangled, but I can usually just finger-comb.
