Pin Curl Overnight Set

Hi lovely people! I have a new post for you today about my adventures with vintage hair styles. Basically, I'm rubbish at them. I have long, thick, semi frizzy hair and it just never seems to work very well for me.

Previously I've had a go at Victory Rolls and it took me no less than 2 HOURS to try and get two symmetrical victory rolls in my hair. Urgh.. nightmare!

Recently I've just been pulling a section of hair over and pinning it up in a curl on the side like this;

HOWEVER, I have now found the perfect vintage style for my hair - an overnight pin curl set!

HOW TO:

It was so easy, just make 5 pin curls around the side of your face and then around 8 over the rest of your head (you will need a pretty large collection of bobby pins for this). Personally, I didn't apply any product to my hair before pinning it up as I'm very lucky and my hair holds a curl pretty well. If your hair needs a bit of help holding a style then you may need to add some product.

I did this with freshly washed and fully dry hair. Again, if your hair doesn't hold styles very well, you may be better off pinning the hair while it is still damp.

So... once you're all pinned it should look like this:

Now have a cup of decaf tea and go to bed. ZzzzzZzzZz.

THE NEXT MORNING

Do not freak out when you stumble into the bathroom having forgotten what you've done and look in the mirror! It is not going to look pretty.

Spend the next 10 mins pulling an endless amount of bobby pins from your hair. The curls will look bad at this point - but do not be disheartened, you'll need to brush them out. It was at this stage that my hair was HUGE AND FRIZZY. So, I rubbed a generous amount of smoothing serum onto my hands and ran my fingers through the hair one side at a time. This brought the curls together again and removed any frizz.

THE RESULT

Ta-daaaa!!! I was pretty impressed with my first attempt at doing this. Give it a go!
