How To Pin Curl Your Hair Like in the 1950s

In this video, this woman starts explaining firm rollers are more for if you want lots of waves and the curls are tight.

The pin curls are more for those who want lose curls and smoother on top and lots of rolls at the bottom.

To have the hairstyles just like women in the 50's, you will need lots of bobby pins or a pin curling hair clip and the more you have of these the better.

You will also need a comb, a spray bottle of water, and a hairbrush.

It is recommended you wash your hair and let it dry somewhat so it will hold longer in your hair until the next time you choose to wash it.

Next, you take a small strand of hair and you turn it inwards so it makes a circle. You continue this until the circle bunch of hair is to your scalp and pin it in this position.

Once you are doing the curls throughout your head make sure the curls are facing the front, which is towards your head and not away from your head.

One thing that is crucial is that you do not do this hairstyle before going to sleep as this will mess up the ideal hairstyle you want that resembles those in the 1950's.

If your hair will not cooperate with going into this circle then you need to wet the strand you are working on more.

Do not wet your whole head because when you come around to those strands then it is already dry and it will be more of a hassle to rewet it.

1950s Hairstyles That Were Popular and Easy

Thoughts on 50's Hairstyles Hairstyles back in this era were mostly shown of women with short curly hair. They had big curls that made the volume in their hair rise and looked so shiny as well. The women put curlers in their hair the night before while it was wet so once they took them out they would have lushish waves on the top of their heads. What is not talked about is that they did have long hair in this era. Those who did produced the commercials and photoshoots just did not include these types of women/hairstyles as much. All of these women had lots of volume and head full of hair as well, I am quite jealous. Those who had longer hair in the 1950's styled their hair with bigger curlers the night before as well.
