How-To: My 1940s inspired Pin Up Girl Hairdo...part 1!
As promised my darlings....here is a quick first part "How-To" on my 1940s inspired Pin Up Girl hairdo......let's start with the Pin Curls!Pin curls are brilliant for setting that lovely full bodied curls and volume, even for stubbornly straight long hair like mine! I actually find Pin Curls to be more effective than heated curling tongs, which are more damaging to your hair and curls tends to fall out of shape quicker. You will need lots of bobby pins, some curling spray or setting lotion and a comb.....of course 'time' as it will need to be set the night before! So here's How-To do the Pin Curls:
1. Comb and smooth out your hair, then wet your hair and apply curling spray.
Starting from your hair-line section your fringe to form your first Pin Curl.
2. From the mid-length, form a curl around your finger and loop the bottom half of your hair around your finger. Then holding tightly on to this curl, remove your finger and continue rolling the curl upwards or towards your head.
3. Once your curl is fully formed, pin it with a few bobby pins. Then work your way down and around your head by forming your first row of Pin Curls.
4. Continue with the second row of Pin Curls and apply more curling spray if necessary to ensure hair is damp. All hair should be up in Pin Curls by now....an you are ready to sleep on it!
