Wet Set Pin Curls
Posted by evanny on January 21, 2010 · 3 Comments
Pin curls are a style that is notoriously known for mostly being performed on dry hair. Not too many women like the idea of doing wet set pin curls. Some say that it simply never works. The truth of the matter is the age old adage “Practice makes perfect”. In my experience, a wet set holds the curls longer and they turn out very bouncy and light. Let’s get started:
Wash and condition your hair as you normally would. Gently towel dry your hair and comb out any tangles. Apply setting lotion if your hair is very fine or difficult to hold a curl. Allow your hair to slightly air dry so it is more than damp, but not wet. Assemble bobby pins and a rat-tail comb to be within easy reach. Use the rat-tail comb to part your hair, or if you’re like me, you can just use your fingers to give the hair a more natural look when it’s finished. Use the rat-tail comb, or your fingers, to section hair in one-inch sections. Wrap the sectioned hair around your finger tightly while holding your finger close to your head. Slip the pin curl off your finger and pin it to your head with a bobby pin. You may need to use two bobby pins to secure the curl to your head, crossing one over the other in an “x” position.
Continue to place pin curls randomly until all the hair is in pin curls. Wrap a scarf around your head to keep pin curls in place while you sleep. If you are not going to sleep on pin curls, it’s best to hold the pin curls in place with short clips to reduce a crease line from using bobby pins. For a more full look, roll the curls in opposite directions for more body. Meaning roll a curl towards the left and then do a different curl rolling towards the right. Hopefully these instructions will be of use to you. I’m sure that with practice, you’ll have a beautiful, longer lasting wet pin curl set.
