How to make Pin Curls
Before we start looking at the steps involved in how to create pin curl, here are certain things you need to keep in mind. If you use larger sections of hair to create the pin curls, the looser the curls will be, and the smaller the section of the hair, the tighter and more spiral curls will form. If you make a tighter loop around the finger, then the curl will be also tighter. If you keep the clips on the hair loops for longer, then stronger the set of curls will be. For people who have chunky, shaggy or choppy hair, which creates uneven strands, then use end papers, you can find them in a beauty supply store. These help to manage all the curls neatly and uniformly, and prevents the dreaded hook ends. Use smooth clips, which don't have any ridges, to prevent any creases. If you don't have a hair clip then get bob pins, which are smooth and devoid of ridges.
