Pin Curl  Special

Needing to save money on hair care, I remembered what we used to do in the 1950's. I bought some bobby pins. After shampooing my hair, I put a small amount of styling product on and brushed my hair up and secured it with combs. With the hair that sprouted out the top, I carefully sectioned it with a comb and my fingers and wrapped it round a finger , then securing it with two crossed bobby pins. I leave these pin curls on overnight. If I go out while my hair is in pins, I tie a scarf over them so I don't look too weird! This method of pin curling can be used for long or short hair. The next morning I remove the bobby pins and carefully loosen the new curls with my fingers not brushing them right out. These curls last me a week and my friends and others keep saying how great my hair looks! I estimate the savings at between $35 and $47 weekly which is what the hairdresser would cost. At night I wear a hair net to keep hair in place. Enjoy!
