You pink rolls were the most common way to curl hair from the 1930s through the 1950s and the effect is lovely with curls and ways that we all admire so much in vintage hair style. A pin, curl is a simple idea: curl a damp piece of hair. Beginning at the end and working up toward the scalp, when the entire piece of hair is encompassed in the curl use a hairpin or a clip to pin it to the base of the scalp for drawing once the pin curl has dried thoroughly, unpin it and brush It into the desired shape variations in size direction and the treatment at the base of the pin, curl directly effect of the finished hairstyle looks these pin curl sets can be very detailed and complicated, designed to brush out into very specific shapes. Today, we're not going to concern ourselves with styling an extremely detailed pin, curl set we're going to keep it simple and manageable. Today'S hairstyle named Primrose has a similar setting pattern to parts of two hairstyles featured in the book vintage hair styling. You can find more in-depth information about, pin, curls and other techniques in the book available for purchase on vintage, hair, styling comm. You will need some basic tools and supplies for this hairstyle that you may already have or see the description below the video for resources. First, you need water, it's called a wet set for good reason. You need to dampen your hair before you set the curls, it shouldn't be dripping wet, but more towel dry water helps you first by making your hair more pliable and second, the water acts as a setting product. You will also benefit from a hair setting lotion or sculpting gel. This also adds pliability and staying power to the curl set, distribute this product evenly through the hair. The tool you will need include a rat tail comb and hair pins or pin curl clips for securing the curls, also a hairbrush that won't snap easily in your hair and a lightweight puppy. The pomade acts to control, frizz and flyaways, while you're refreshing, and also help find the hairs together while forming the final style to other tools that are not necessary but very helpful. Are the role and goal share tool. It'S round tooth configuration makes rolling, pin curls quick and evening and a hooded hairdryer there are smaller home use ones available from your local beauty. Supply store and online here is a diagram of the stand up, pin curls to be set in the top section of hair between the peaks of your eyebrows. These curls are rolled in a counterclockwise pattern. Please note that for these first front curls the base of the sections are split into opposite diagonal, going back from the forehead. This will ensure that there are no gaps at the hairline when you brush it out. You set a second row of the same counterclockwise, stand-up pincurls directly behind the first row. This is the diagram for the right side of the set directly above the ear. The right side will be set in counterclockwise pinkles as well, but they will be standard, live, flattened, curls, as opposed to stand-up pin curls. This rotation is sometimes also referred to as a reverse. Curl set a total of four counterclockwise pin curls above the year. The left side is set similar to the right. Only this time the curls are clockwise or forward curl. The back of the hair is set in alternating rows of clockwise and counterclockwise standards live flat, pin curls the technical term for this pattern is the skip wave, because the pin curls tend to overlap a little. I find it easiest to start at the bottom and work up. This decreases. The chance of snagging finished, pin curls with your comb, but you can start at the top if you prefer just make sure the top curls are set lower right around the top of the occipital bone at the back of the head. When you brush this hairstyle out, you don't want it to be too curly. At the back of the crown, we want more of a halo of curls around the perimeter of the head. The first round, curls can be clockwise or counterclockwise lie flat in curls. Here the curls are set clockwise. The second row of curls should be set in the opposite direction of the rows below and above it here they are counterclockwise. It is because of this opposite pattern that the curl will brush out into beautiful ways. The third row of curls are rolled in the same direction as the first row continue swapping the direction of the pink rose with each new row. As I mentioned earlier, with the final top row, make sure the top curls are set lower right around the top of the occipital bone at the back of the head after the curls are completely dry. Remove all of the clips except the six curls at the top of the head be sure the curls are completely dry or the set will not hold the curl. While you are going through the brushing process, you will want to work a light pomade through the hair. The best way to do this is to scoop a small amount from the container and rub the pomade between your palms to get it warm and pliable, don't use too much too soon, or your hair will end up looking oily. You want to build it slowly into the hair. If you don't have a lot of prior experience brushing out a website, you may feel like you did something wrong. You probably didn't it. Just can take a really long time to brush the set into the shape. Don'T expect that a couple of sweeps of the brush and the hairstyle will just magically appear. The hair needs to be brushed into submission and control last remove the cliff from the top stand up, control and brush the entire hair section up into one unit. Use the same technique of working some pomade through this section as well brush the sections early and back brushes to help lock the hairs together and form the wave back away from the base continue perfecting the curls and waves with your fingers and spray with hairspray. I'M Lauren Reynolds and I'd like to thank you so much for watching
Comments
sspinnr: My mother leaned to be a hair dresser in the late 1940's and I can't tell you how many times she pin-curled my hair and then sent me out to sit in the sun with a book on a small stool while my hair dried and she did the same to my sister. Then she would set her own and rush us all through getting ready to leave, drying her own hair in the open window of the car. Removal of the pins near the destination and a quick brush and she had beautiful hair. Years later, for my college graduation a friend wanted a curly style for her hair and I suggested pin curls....and set her hair. A scarf kept the pins in place overnight and she had riotous curls under her cap. Thanks for bringing up that lovely memory.
Lisa Antonelli: This is probably the absolute best vintage hair styling tutorial I have ever watched. Makes it all crystal clear ! Amazing job.
Kaleigh Concannon: I'm such a visual person, these charts and illustrations are INSANELY helpful. It saves me from having to sketch it myself.
Poppy Chen: I admire women’s effort back then
Kathleen W: I never even realized there was such an art to pin curling. Whenever my mom would pin curl my hair she would do them all tight to my scalp in random directions evenly across my head and when they came out I'd look a bit like a poodle (an adorable poodle, and my hair could never keep a curl very long anyway, haha) and I would wonder how on earth these ladies back in the 40s or whenever got their hair to look so elegant and put together. Now I know.
Genise Kennedy: Best and most clear wet set instructions I have come across! I love how this tutorial really illustrates the written instructions on the vintage hairstyling blog. Seriously, great job!
Colleen Charles: Retired after doing hair for 47 years (4 yrs ago); got my license in 1969. Beauty school was all older ladies and all pin curls, very few roller sets even then. I continued doing pin curls on people until I retired. I had several older women that NEVER changed their style! I remember doing my grandma's hair in pin curls....forward / reverse waves all over. One day we went over to my aunts and she was there and my aunt was putting rollers in her hair!! I said what the heck grandma....she said I needed the practice...lol By the way, the only way to make those styles stay is to use a styling lotion that was the consistency of 'snot'...and that's what we called it...
Wanda Andrew: This takes me back to beauty school. I got my license in 1970. We still did a lot of pin curl styles then. Thank you for sharing.
Bildgesmythe: It used to amaze me how fast my mom could set her hair in pin curls. She used nothing but a comb and bobby pins.
Fancylooks: This is an ART! Beautiful work, great explanation. Thank you!
Shepherd boy: This was my favourite part of Hairstyling School. I love structured, planned, patterned STYLES with pin curls and rollers. It's like being a sculptor. Unfortunately people don't want to "set" their hair anymore.... although I did convince one friend to get a hood dryer at the time and she did do rollers for a year. LOL You did such a beautiful job with the style in the video, especially since her hair was "technically" a bit too long for it.
Cecilia N: I have just learned that all the times I failed and then gave up on curling my hair with a wet set is because I didn't brush it enough.... 'brush your hair into submission' is such a powerful line.
Marialla: Love that rolling tool! I can see how that would make it much easier to achieve a perfect curl every time.
Jo Jo: You did an amazing job explaining these steps while educating us what things are called. Great pace and everything. Thank you for your video and your time, my favorite tutorial video on these hairstyles by far. Have a great day!!! Chau
Evie Roberts: When women said they were staying in to wash their hair- they really meant it!
Tamela Sprigg: I had to look this up because I LOVE the styles back then. So feminine e and beautiful. We try to out our own spin on it each century, but the original is my favorite. Oh, and, my maiden name is primrose!!
TinaSparkles: This looks like the style Grace Kelly wore ❤ absolutely gorgeous.
Rebekah Logue: The result of this was absolutely lovely! I will certainly be trying this.
Frannie Pietersma: This is the hairstyle I want when I get married
Ehy: I came here for a Heather Chandler hair reference and was not disappointed. I love the detailed explanations! The visuals are super helpful. Thank you for this!
Shannon: This was the most helpful and clear tutorial I've ever watched, I'm so happy I've found your channel!
Rebecca Plant: This is such a great tutorial! Such a beautiful hairstyle. I am new to pin curls. This is so helpful. Thank you.
Paty Hernandez: Amazing! The best vintage hairstyle tutorial ever, everything is perfectly explained and makes it super easy to achieve. Great job!
Manuela Glavas: I am just getting into Pin Curls on myself. I love them! I learned really a lot from this and I am looking forward to try it out. I will try to get the book too, it looks awesome :) thank you!
Dobrila Bijelic: This was so informative and soothing at the same time :)
Jenn Hoff: I LOVE this tutorial! It looks like I've been doing everything right until it gets to the brushing. I didn't brush and control it enough. So it never turned out the way I wanted. Thank you so much!!!
chicken nugget: Wow.... that pin curl brush would have been a LIFESAVER in beauty school!! I am buying one ASAP!
Jane Doe: Extremely lovely, thank you for sharing your expertise. Your model is stunning and I love her vintage look make up. I especially love your red hair. ♥️
Carissa D.: Absolutely love your tutorials. I'm dying for more 1940 inspired styles!
Truman Harris: I just got my Roll & Go in the mail today as a late Christmas gift I’m SO excited to use it
Kayla Brewer: I can not thank you enough for this tutorial!!! Everythimg is so clear and now I know exactly how to do that!!! YAY!!! Thank You SO much!!!( I LOVE the 40s/50s!!).
Jasmine Bolden: I absolutely love how detailed this is!
Anna Orbanes: I pincurled my hair overnight, every night, when I was in junior high. I used my finger to wrap around, not a device. In high school rollers were the thing. One avante guard girl actually had a blow dried blunt cut.
aryam: Wow! Excellent tutorial! Beautiful finished hairstyle! You made it simple and very clear. Thank you!
Leaura Hunt: This tutorial was so incredibly thorough and helpful!!
Countess Ratzass: In high school I did my hair just like this and wore a vintage stewardess uniform. The teachers hated it but the boys loved it.
Pierre Sutton: Great tutorial and wonderful work, I'm doing a pinup wedding and this just got me through it. Thanks.
MeryStella M: This is the best tutorial I've seen! the explanations are clear and the visual is extra! the only problem is that I have the hair that reaches my chin and I can not find a good vintage tutorial! So if one day it tempts you to make one You would make me very happy!
Susy Mayberry: This is gorgeous. I wish I had the patience to let my hair grow.
reenougle: Great video and gorgeous style. I am trying it this week!!
Sharlene Holcomb: I still remember my mother doing this all the time, beautiful Auburn hair.
C S: this is still a gorgeous way to style hair. I do a pin curl set on all my curly hair clients who wear their hair curly. I don’t brush them out and it creates beautiful defined curls. It’s also a nice break when I have a busy day and can take a break from blow drying. I have never seen a pin curler like that though! I always do it with my fingers.
Anastasia Chase: BEST, most beautiful hair tutorial I've ever seen. I want to wear my hair like this as my signature hair and this will absolutely help me achieve great practice THANK YOU, gorgeous woman ❣
roisin ni ghabhann: Such an informative video thank you , I just recently got into rolling my hair and this looks amazing , I'll definitely try it soon
Carissa Bergerson: I can't wait to try this! You made it so easy to understand.
Sarah Martin: This is by far the most clear and precise pincurl tutorial I have seen on YouTube. I hit subscribe so fast.
NessButterfly74: Thank you for explaining the pomade situation! Most instruction just say “just use a small amount of pomade” but don’t say how or when! So frustrating!!
garmtpug: Oh gosh! This takes so much time and patience! I cannot imagine doing this myself, trying to get those pin curls just right. Another person would have to be doing it for me.
jeff guenette: What you did was perfect. I thank you. What I have read over the years about old Hollywood was that after the set and it was bone dry the hair dresser would take a curling iron to smooth out any imperfections. This also resulted in calming the set down making it look smooth .
joanne buglass: Wonderfully done x
celestialskye1: Beautifully shown! Many thanks.
Ace R.: THIS IS SO GOOD! You people did an amazing job!
Kazberjazz: This is a wonderful tutorial which I have watched several times now. I don’t always do pin curls, but when I do do them I try very hard to do them exactly like this video, the thing I struggle the most with is the skip wave at the back of my head (it’s just so difficult to be neat back there) and the second thing I struggle with is getting that beautiful wave coming together when I do the brush out. However, I shall keep at it.
Maria Canto: Thank you for taking the time to explain these lovely hairstyles!
Hugginsince79: I wore my hair like this to my 1998 prom. I wore a long strapless black velvet dress with feather boa and long black satin gloves. This was my favorite prom look. I’m lucky enough to have wavy hair , so I could get this look with hot curlers and hairspray only.
we photo gal: You are a master! This is lovely, thank you.
Iris T: Amazing instruction and style!
Savanna Saylor: Would this work for shoulder length hair? We have a 1950s themed homecoming party coming up and would love to do this look!
RetroReceptionist: I recently did this and posted my results on Instagram. I’m trying it again tonight, don’t give up if pincurls are hard at first
Momma Bear: Wow, amazing tutorial. I just looked at your channel. I hope you keep putting out more vintage videos.
Witty Vixen: Oh my lawd I want that pin curl device so bad!!
Tirna Mellum: That is so helpful and I love that you have products, I have struggled a lot to find a setting spray in Norway #everydaystyle
Julie Wilson: Need more videos like this...enjoyed it! Bought the newest edition of Vintage Hairstyling a month or two ago but have yet to set my hair...like seeing it in video form. Thank you!
olgabelaya: I would like to thank you so much for showing and teaching ❤️❤️❤️
Helen Mattes: I remember setting my hair in pin curls using just my fingers and sleeping with them overnight. That was before brush rollers. Then I’d set my hair in them and sleep with them overnight. Took a little getting used to that.
Maria G: Gorgeous!! I use perm rods to get a similar look. I'll try the pin curls, but I'm not sure if it'll work with my long hair. Whenever I try to do a pin curl it gets too chunky and looks awful.
Candice Kelly: The only way to get that much body in my straight hair was to get a permanent! I sat nearly every night getting a double row of pin curls with crisscrossed bobbie pins in the 50s
Paul & Carla Chapman: As I watched this I kept thinking about my own dead straight hair that Mother tried to curl in the 50s. That was all she knew how to do, but I absolutely don't remember her spending the kind of time you just did brushing out the curls. My hair is baby fine and even a little brushing sets up static, which is why you used the pomade on your model, no doubt. My hair was always a mess, every single day. In retrospect, I wish she had just had it cut into cute little bobs and let me go. I wasn't going to look like the other little girls anyway, so why try?
Brittnie P: So informative and I really want to do this style now! :) But this also shows how lazy I am when I do pin-curls and why they only last about 2 days. I do it dry and overnight, with just bobbypins, a silk kerchief and nothing else. Lesson learned haha
Alicia Mesa: This hairstyle was always a mistery for me.Untill today!!!!
G S: I love pin curls. My mother said she wore them and when we all were born she gave us pin curls. I love the ones around my face because they added depth and volume
Gayla Chalumeau: We learned these techniques in cosmetology school back in the 90s and it was fun. I did finger waves on my nieces for my wedding as they were my little flower girls. It was all everyone talked about. So romantic and feminine. I chucked my flat iron years ago and go with the flow of my hair now.
Donna Maciver: This is good the first good vintage set I've seen and I've watched lots this is how my great gran used to do it for me great job
Clarissa Pickett: Great thorough tutorial!
Donna Maciver: First vintage stylist I've seen that is good wet set really is the way to go no setting lotion and the hair just falls out amazing job
Spaghetti Monster: The model is so beautiful !
aphrodyke: I just tried to do this setting pattern and i had a really difficult time sectioning off the back once the sides were pinned down ! I don’t normally pin from the bottom section up so it took me a half an hour longer than normal I’m hoping it turns out well though because it looks to be a good setting pattern!
Nickell Francis: I love vintage hair it's so gerogous the way they do it you did a good job
123HumorMe: That model is drop dead gorgeous!
keersten dewitt: This is an amazing tutorial keep up these kind of videos!
Jody Hakala-Ristow: It’s great to see how you use this tool. Yet I prefer seeing hair done by yourself on yourself then on a model it’s much more realistic to what I would see working on myself.
Mercedes Nuño: This is exactly the type of content i was looking for. Love It. Inmediate fan.
Nicole Dawson: How do you prevent clip / pin marks? This has always been an issue for me for all types of curl styles. If you a professional are doing it, I feel there is definitely no hope for me
Nancy Taylor: This reminds me of the good old days when I became a hairdresser. Thank goodness rollers became popular
Arrow Villarreal: I’m a dude so I’ve literally never had to style my hair, but if I was a girl, I’d probably be so extra, I’d do this style. Is it even possible to do this solo? How long does this style take?
kat devona: Amazing video! Thank you can’t wait to rock this for my musical !
ShadesOfViolet: I just noticed those pin-curl clips have a large gap for the curl to rest in! So cool! If you use regular clips, you're only supposed to pin the end of the hair on the inside of the curl, if you pin across the whole curl then you get a funny crimp that sets into the hair. Around 9:15 you can see on the top right where the pins left their mark. That curl was pinned with the pin upside down at 8:38 so the notch in the pin wasn't able to do it's job. The finished style was done beautifully though, you can't tell. Great job!
Jill Pratt: Amazing! What an excellent tutorial! Thank you!,!
JEIIYA: This is absolutely lovely, but the way you explained how we need to brush the hair into submission just cracked me up for some reason I really like this video
Napoleon Dmit: This is so beautiful.
Ruddy Pullas: The best tutorial about vintage hairstyle I've seen but thats a lot of work!
bz2unow: Soooo lovely!!
Carol Thomas: My mother put her hair in pin curls every night of her life and she was terribly glamorous. I remember all the diagrams for setting in her magazines .
KATHLEEN MACDONALD: Pin curls were still being used in the 1970s. Don't forget the Dippity-Do. Sleep in it overnight then brush it out for beaUTIFUL curls that will last until your next shampoo. My mom would was my hair, comb it out, apply Dippity-Do (which can still be found online) and get up early the next morning for the brush out and style.
Cari Del-Rio: wow. beautiful. such good explanations!!!! :)
Raymond31923: Stunningly gorgeous!
Willemijn van Calker: THIS IS THE BEST TUTORIAL IVE EVER WATCHED, yet it took me 4 hours...
Peggy Ballenger: When I rolled pin curls Mother didn’t have the tool we had to do it all with our fingers
Lola Bigcups: I'm so gonna try this on my hair.
Debra Cisneros, HHP: FABULOUS tutorial, Thank you!
