Today we are going to show you how to create Hair Pin Curls, a tutorial that we’ve been waiting nearly a year to show you. The curl set we use here isn’t likely one you would use every day, but it is PERFECT for Halloween!!!
You can use this technique as a base-texture hairstyle for a witch, lion, mad scientist, Bride of Frankenstein, zombie, purple minion, Mad Hatter, etc! Bailey wanted to be a Zombie Cheerleader! Pretty much anything that requires frizzy hair!
We sure turned a lot of heads this weekend as we filmed the intro for this video! Bailey loved it, and really delved into character! {Shaun was pretty much embarrassed the entire time!} Bailey found her Zombie Cheerleader costume at Chasing Fireflies.
For this tutorial, I used hairpins to wrap the hair in a rick rack set {giving the resulting “rick rack” looking wave pattern, a classical sewing term}. I then secure the sets with bobby pins. This curling set isn’t new, as it’s been taught in styling schools for decades, and now several websites provide tutorials for them as well. {One of our favorites was done by the girls over at The Beauty Dept.}
To see your own photo recreations featured in our app, feel free to tag your own photos of this hairstyle on IG with: #CGHHairPinCurls
To get this look, be prepared to spend about an hour setting the hair {if you are doing this by yourself}. If you have a friend helping you, this process will go much faster.
