How to Wear Pin Curls: Three Sultry New Styles
Pin curls evoke romance and an innocent yet sultry quality. The look itself is very versatile, and works with everything from a print sundress to a t-shirt and jeans to a sleek blouse and slacks. Pin curls can gently frame the face, softening sharp lines and adding interest along with a sense of flair. If traditional pin curls aren't your style, though, you may want to try these three variations:
1. The soft ponytail: Without slicking down your hair or smoothing it, simply grab your hair gently, about an inch from the nape of your neck. Wrap a ponytail holder around your hair, but not too tightly--the pin curls should help secure the pony even if the holder itself is a bit loose. For an extra touch of girly style, cover the ponytail holder by tying a length of ribbon or lace around it--about 10 inches should do.
2. The sexy chignon: Again, without smoothing your hair, gather it at the back of your head. Twist the bundle of hair and form a loose bun with it. Clamp with a claw. This look allows you to keep your hair back and off your face, but is much less harsh than a regular ponytail or bun. Tip: For a look with some added flair, make sure the loose ends are pointing upwards when you clip on the claw. This spiky look is funky and young!
3. The funky fro: Brush out your pin curls gently. Instead of trying to remove the curl entirely, you're simply trying to add volume by separating the curled strands for a look that's bohemian and ethereal. As the twisted strands separate, you'll find that even flat hair can take on a voluminous look. For a toned-down version of this daring look, add a thin headband to keep the now-wild curls away from your face.
