Based on the video snippet provided, using pin curl rollers involves wrapping your hair away from your face. The video mentions this specific direction. Here's a more detailed explanation of the process, extrapolating from the available information and general knowledge of pin curl rollers:
Pin curl rollers are a heat-free method of creating curls. While the provided video only shows wrapping away from the face, successful pin curl use also depends on preparation and proper technique.
Here's a step-by-step guide:
-
Prepare Your Hair: Start with damp, not wet, hair. You can use a spray bottle to lightly dampen your hair. Applying a mousse or setting lotion can help the curls hold better.
-
Section Your Hair: Divide your hair into sections based on the size of the curls you desire. Smaller sections create tighter curls.
-
Wrap the Hair:
- Take a section of hair.
- Hold the end of the section.
- Wrap the hair around the roller. As indicated in the video, make sure you are wrapping away from your face for the sections at the front of your hairline. The direction of wrapping significantly affects the overall hairstyle. Wrapping away from the face on the forward sections gives a softer, more open look to the face.
- Roll the hair down to the scalp.
- Secure the roller. Pin curl rollers often come with clips or pins to hold them in place.
-
Repeat: Repeat the process for all sections of your hair. Consider the pattern and direction in which you wrap each section to achieve your desired style.
-
Dry Your Hair: Allow your hair to dry completely. You can air dry (which takes longer) or use a hooded dryer to speed up the process.
-
Remove Rollers: Once your hair is completely dry, carefully remove the rollers.
-
Style Your Hair: Gently separate the curls with your fingers. Avoid brushing, as this can make the curls frizzy. You can use a light-hold hairspray to set the style.
Things to Consider:
- Roller Size: Different sizes of rollers will produce different sized curls.
- Tension: Maintaining consistent tension while rolling will result in more uniform curls.
- Sleeping in Rollers: It's possible to sleep in pin curl rollers, but it can be uncomfortable. Using soft, flexible rollers can make it more bearable.
By following these steps and ensuring you wrap the hair away from your face as demonstrated in the video, you can achieve beautiful, heat-free curls with pin curl rollers.
