Things You'll Need:
- Light hold hair gel
- Pin curl pins (regular bobby pins can create dents in the curls)
-
Step 1
Shampoo and condition hair. Allow hair to air-dry almost completely.
-
Step 2
Grab a small section of hair. Start at the root and smooth the strand of hair out to the ends.
-
Step 3
Add a very small amount of lightweight gel to the strand.
-
Step 4
Wind the entire strand of hair around your forefinger. Use your thumb to help hold the curl in place at the scalp.
-
Step 5
Tuck the ends into the curl and flatten the curl against your head.
-
Step 6
Secure the curl with one or two pincurl pins.
-
Step 7
Repeat the first six steps until you have set the desired amount of pin curls.
-
Step 8
Allow the hair to dry completely. Some people secure the head with a kerchief and sleep with the pin curls in place.
-
Step 9
Remove the pins. Loosen the curls with a comb. The less you comb, the tighter the curls. You can brush them out for a fluffier look as well. It just depends on the look you are going for.
