Poookie's Patented Pincurl tutorial!

I have always been pincurl challenged! You made it look pretty easy. Although, I am sure it will take me a few tries. Thank you for the tutorial.
 
:yay:

Thank you for this! I've been trying to figure out what I'm gonna do with my hair when I go to the hospital to have this baby! I was gonna flatiron it, but I'm in bootcamp and didn't wanna break the rules

How do you sleep without the curls messing up? Do you just put on a bonnet at night and forget about it?

yup, i just toss a bonnet on, and sleep. and i sleep really crazy, so sometimes the curls come out flattened, or bumpy... so for me, this style usually only lasts about 2 or 3 days... which is okay, cuz i'm washing my hair every other day :D

however, the way i wear this style, i pin my hair up and off of the sides of my face, so i'm able to sleep without too much damage to my style.
 
This is great!! I wanted a curly look - without having to sleep on my hands because the rollers were diggin into my head :grin:

Thank you
 
Oohhh...great tutorial!!! I tried pincurling once and it was a hot mess!:nono: I think using the rollers will help me drastically. I am definitely trying this TONIGHT!!!:grin:
 
Very nice! I'd love to try that since I don't ever plan on roller setting.

So do you just style with your fingers and NOT comb them?
 
Wow me likey!

I'm gonna try this since I seem to NOT have the ability to roll my hair with rollers. Hmmm I'll look again since I'm washing my hair tonight

yup! no comb necessary :) if you want to fluff out the curls, just shake your head around a bit. works for me!
 
Thank you a million times over! I've tried to pin curl a thousand times and couldn't figure it out! Now I have an idea on how to do this.:2cool:

Sorry OP I don't mean to hijack this thread but Lucky8502 I'm going to need you to share your regimen A.S.A.P.! It looks as if you grew your hair from a TWA to almost APL in a year if I'm not mistaken :spinning:. Please do share or send me a PM!!

Now back on subject...thanks for that tutorial. I'm going to give it a try. I wash my hair everyday, but I've seen this half-cornrow / half-pin curl style I'd love to try ... I just haven't got the pin-curl part down yet!
 
Thank you for your tutorial Poookie. :)

I pincurl all of the time, but after I've first airdried in a rollerset. My avatar in in the comments I made is a pincurl set.

I really like the way you made the pincurls! Although I can make pincurls the old-fashioned way, I am definitely going to do some with a roller (and I have several sizes to choose from) to experience the difference, if any. I haven't done this on damp hair yet though. I'll have to experiment with that on a weekend or something. :yep:
 
Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh:perplexed:perplexed

I just washed my hair tonight and tried this....
















































I dunno where you've been hiding but DON'T YOU EVER TAKE SO LONG TO SHOW UP AGAIN! Omg loves it! I finally figured out what to do with my hair. Drying is now no longer a problem!!!!!!!:bouncy:
 
I made some very pretty pincurls since I visited this thread today. :yep: I used a grey magnetic roller and made 6 perfectly round pincurls, sliding the roller out and pinning with a Good Hair Days pin. This is on dry hair and the curls are larger than what I usually do by hand. It turned out a whole lot better than my pincurls-- the curls are more uniform. :) Thank you again for this great tip and your tutorial! :up:
 
WOW, so much feedback! i'm glad this worked for you guys!

i tried pincurls using the finger method, and by the 4th time i had to wear out my triangular and rectangular shaped "curls", i thought... why not use a roller?

clearly i can't claim to be the first human being who tried pincurling with a roller, but i thought i'd take the time to throw together a picture-filled tutorial to help whoever i could... heck, this board has helped me so much, i'm glad to hand out help where i can :drunk:


Isis, i saw how yours turned out; it looks really pretty! (i mean, it's pretty regardless, but you know what i mean)! i'm really glad to see that this works on longer hair, too!

LOL, girl you had me scared that it didn't turn out okay, and you were about to yell at me or something!

i'm so glad you solved your drying problem!



:ahem:... ok now everyone... don't be afraid to put up pictures of how YOUR curls turned out!

i'm texlaxed (to the point where my waves are gone, and there's a whole bunch of puff), so my results will be different than someone who's 100% relaxed... i'd love to see how this looks on different heads of hair!

:yep:

Thank you Poookie! I do think pincurls work on all lengths. :yep:

I did this again overnight with purple rollers and I love my bouncy curls! :gorgeous:
 
Thank you Poookie. I promise I was looking for a way to pincurl my hair because I'm tired of wearing a bun 24/7. Anyways, could anyone with APL or BS length hair provide links to their pics of their hair pin curled. Pleassssseeeee:grin:

TIA

Tanya
 
IMO, this thread would make a great sticky. :yep: There are many ladies here who are pincurl challenged!
