- Next, take hair from the left side temple area and sweep up from the ends to create your next pin curled roll. Secure as needed with bobby pins.
- Take any remaining hair from the side areas and sweep up to secure at the crown area.
- Brush remaining hair smooth in the back area. Create soft curls with a large barrel iron. Curl hair towards the face from the mid-length through to ends in a vertical fashion. Set curls using pin curl clips until all hair is curled. Allow hair to cool then release curls and allow to fall softly.

#30 IT HAPPENED ONE NIGHT
Written by Tanya Ramirez
Get ready for that closeup with this decadent style.
How To Style:
- Prep clean, dry hair with a light hold working hairspray.
- Create a soft side parting and clip a small fringe section away to start.
- To begin your three stand-up pin curls, take the center crown section and brush hair smooth. Backcomb the underside, take the hair ends up and roll downward toward the head.
- Then take the right section and brush the area smooth. Use a light hold gel or light spray wax for control and to tame any flyaways. Take the ends and begin rolling hair upward toward the head in a smooth and controlled motion for a smooth ‘C’ shaped curl.
- Repeat the steps noted above on the left side. Be sure your rolls are symmetrical. Smooth the exterior of both rolls with a fine tooth comb and light hairspray.
- Take any remaining hair from the sides and sweep them back away from the face and secure with bobby pins.
- Return to the small fringe section and smooth over to one side and pin into place.
- Next, brush hair smooth in the back area. Create soft curls with a large barrel iron. Curl hair from the mid-length through to ends in a vertical fashion toward the face. Release curls and allow to fall softly. Backcomb ends gently for a soft, voluminous finish.
- Finish with a light hold hairspray.
