Q&A for How to Curl Hair with Bobby Pins

Since you have smaller bobby pins, it would be best for you to curl your hair in smaller sections. Instead of using sections that are 1-2 in. wide, your sections should be no larger than 1 inch wide by 1 inch long for best results. If you try to use larger sections, your hair will seep out of the bobby pins creating uneven curls.

Try using a hairspray after curling your hair to hold it.

Try dividing your hair into smaller/thinner sections. Your hair will look cute and fluffy.

Yes, you can.

The amount of time your hair needs to set depends on your hair texture. With long hair, your hair should easily curl in 30-45 minutes, but for best results, leave your hair curled overnight. You can use a blow dryer on medium heat for 1-5 minutes to help speed up the process.

Surely! Instead of pinning your curls up, lay down the curl and pin through it to create more of a wave rather than a curl. This makes more of the "S" wave instead of ringlet curls.

After you pin your curls, wrap your hair in a silk cap or scarf, and let the curls sit for at least 12 hours. This should help create curls, even if your hair is thin and flat. In addition, you can try using a leave-in conditioner before you make your curls to help create shape.

Absolutely! You can either pin your curls so they lay flat, or you can brush out your curls after you unpin them. This creates waves rather than tight, kinky curls.
