Starting at the front of your head, begin creating curls. Take small sections between ½ -1 inch (2.5 cm) wide, and wrap them between your thumb and forefinger to create a small loop. Continue rolling upwards in a spiral until your reach your head. Use 1-2 bobby pins to pin this spiral to the roots of your hair.

Starting at your hairline, grab a one-inch section of hair and hold it upward. Then, place one or two fingers—the more fingers you use, the bigger your curls will be—at the end of that section. Roll the hair around your finger (s) until you reach your scalp. Carefully remove your fingers and lay the curl flat against your head.

Start on one side, and divide the section of hair in half vertically. Starting at the ends, roll the hair into a flat pin-curl. Pin it discreetly right behind the ear. Now take the hair from the other half of the section, and roll it into another flat pin-curl. Pin it just behind and slightly below the first pin-curl.
