Have you ever wondered how to style vintage inspired pin curls? Just follow these simple steps! 1. Pin up all of your hair except for a section at the bottom. 2-4. Spray with water and begin taking small sections (about 1 inch) and rolling the hair up to the root. Pin in place. 5-6. Once you finish with the bottom section, release a new section from the pinned hair and continue as before. Do this until all hair is rolled and pinned in place. If you have any shorter hair left on the side, take it and pin it around one of the curls. 7-8. Finish off your bangs by wetting thoroughly and rolling to the hairline.
Tips: If you have shorter bangs you may need mousse or gel to hold them in place. These curls are also great as "no heat" curls, but using bobby pins will create a dent in the curl. Instead, use 2 prong curl clips
(also known as pin curl clips).
Thank you, Katie, for this
beautiful hair how-to. Happy Monday to everyone. XO. elsie

I love vintage hairstyles, but I have trouble getting my hair to cooperate. My hair is long (like to my waistline) and really thick, would pin curls hold? I hope they will. :) I'm loving your hair tutorials Katie!

Gosh my Mum and her older sisters were teenagers in the '40s, living in Sydney when the Americans were stationed here. They had servicemen billeted in their house too!. Your pincurl look is exactly what my photos of them look like during those years.
If you've never seen the movie 'Rebel', a love story movie based on that time about Sydney burlesque showgirls, find a copy you'll love it and the look. I think Matt Dylan was in it looking very young and very sexy.

This is one of my favorite go tos {rag curls are another}-- the classic ways are often the best, eh?
