Getting Kinky: Pin Up

Hi there! I’ve been playing around with my hair a lot lately, now that I have a little more length it’s easier to try different looks. Though I’m still not at the length I’d like to be, I do enjoy the challenge of trying to figure out how to recreate a certain style with my current length. Enter my version of a pin up style….

This was a very quick and simple style, that’ll I’ll probably be using a lot more often now that I figured out how to create it. All I did was section off the front portion of my hair, and then using an Ouchless stretch headband I wrapped it around the back portion of my hair. Then I smoothed out the back of my hair by pushing the headband up till it just reached the ends of my curls to create the look of my hair being pinned. Afterwards, I simply fluffed to give it a bit more volume, et voila! It literally took me all of 5 minutes and it’s so easy to switch it up with different hair accessories.
If y’all are interested in a more detailed step-by-step (with more pictures or even….a video!) tutorial let me know. In the mean time, here are a couple of tutorials I found while browsing YouTube that I would love to try once my hair gets just a little longer. Follow the links below and enjoy, let me know if you try to recreate some of the styles. Hope everyone has a fantastic Tuesday!
