How To Make Pin Curls on Black Hair
If you are bold enough to try making pin curls at home, this short tutorial can give you a hand:
1. Dampen Your Hair
All pin curls start with slightly wet hair for easy styling. Either wash your hair and wait for it to dry a little or run wet fingers through the hair to achieve a damp effect.
2. Use Hair Gel or Mousse
Apply enough hair gel or mousse for the hair to be easy to style. You have to be ready for heavy use of hair cosmetics in order to keep the hairstyle looking beautiful for as long as possible.
3. Make Pin Curls
Making pin curls is as easy as pie. Take one strand of your hair, place your middle finger at the end of the strand and wrap the strand around it until you get to the roots. Slowly pull the finger out and use bobby pins to attach the curl to your head. If using finger seems inconvenient, you can get any tube-like tool, such as a pen.
4. Blow Dry Your Hair
If you have a hooded dryer, you can blow-dry the hair to strengthen the curly effect. If you don’t, allow the hair to be air-dried.
5. Sleep on It
Wrap a scarf around your head and go to sleep or wait several hours. Undo the scarf in the morning and take out the pins. Your pin curls are ready!
