Achieve effortless waves in short hair by using the pin curl method!
The Pin Curl Technique for Short Hair Waves
This simple technique creates beautiful, beachy waves overnight.
-
Prepare your hair: Start with dry, brushed-out hair. Apply a curl cream or similar styling product to enhance wave formation. This will add texture and hold.
-
Create pin curls: Twist small sections of your hair around your finger, creating a tight curl. Secure each curl with a bobby pin, ensuring it's firmly in place. Repeat this process until your entire head is covered in pin curls.
-
Sleep on it: Leave the pin curls in overnight. This allows the hair to set and form the waves.
-
Reveal your waves: In the morning, carefully remove the bobby pins. Gently unravel each curl, avoiding pulling or tugging. Shake your hair out to loosen the curls and create a natural, wavy look.
This method works best on slightly longer short hair (think a pixie cut with some length or a bob). The tighter you curl the sections, the smaller and tighter the waves will be. Experiment with different section sizes for varying wave effects.
