- Slide your finger out of the curl and pin the curl to your head.
- Repeat for your entire head of hair, allow hair to dry, then remove pins.
If you are not ready for all that dabbing and twirling, or if your hair is too short, get a wig.
After your hair is ready make sure to add an embellishment. A Pin-Up Girl’s hair is not done without a little accessory on the hair. Keep it simple and minimal, but have some fun with it. Try a flower, bandana or a large bow.
