Hello Maicurlies,

So today I wanted to share my current obsession (actually I have yet another new one already) Pin Curls! 

Let me tell you, I LOVE pin curls!!!! 

What do I love about Pin Curls? 

EVERYTHING! Since I have fine natural hair I tend to look for styles to helps to give me volume and the illusion of more density and pin curls give me that….they give me life! Generally I normally like to style on dry hair or slightly damp hair because I get more volume if my hair is not really wet but with pin curls regardless of whether I start on freshly washed hair or dry hair I adore the results! In my demo I did medium sized pin curls on freshly washed hair which gave me medium curls with bounce but they can be made smaller for tighter results or bigger for looser curls. 

Products/Tools Used:

• Water (to keep my hair damp)
• DIY Boosted Spray Leave-in Conditioner
• DIY Rose Water Hibiscus Flax Seed Spray Gel
• Argan Oil
• Wide Tooth Comb
• Bobby Pins
• Afro Pick 

My styling process (especially when I start on wet hair) is to 

1. Set the Pin Curls
2. Allow them to air dry 
3. Cover with a silk/satin scarf overnight
4. Take down the bobby pins, separate the curls and style my hair (the following day)

Curls taken down, fluffed and styled

However, there are times when I have to go out after setting my hair (example on the day when I recorded my video) so on those days I do my faux huge headwrap.

No one knows my hair is curled up, pinned down and not in a big bun underneath and I don’t have to go out looking a little peculiar 😉 Then the following day I take down my hair and voila! 

Here is my video of the process:

I would love to hear what you think! Do you do pin curls, would you try them? 

Thanks
