Pin up Hair Styles   

Pin up looks are really stylized and different. If you want to look properly vintage inspired, then have a look at these tips and tutorials. 

Things you need to create any pin up hair style: 

1.    Round soft bristled brush 

2.    Quality hairspray 

3.    Bobby pins 

4.    Hair ties 

5.    Rollers 

6.    Curling irons 

7.    Hair flowers 

8.    Square scarf 

Proper Pin up Hair Style: 

- Start by taking the front ‘fringe’ section of your hair, and brushing it forwards and down with your round brush. Take the piece of hair, and roll it inwards, then pin to your head. Spray with hairspray.  

- Then take two side sections of hair, and part in the centre (leaving half your hair down). Brush these backwards, then twist round and under and pin in place. 

- Come back to your fringe section…re-roll it, and pin the twirl section (so it’s visible) to your head, with as many pins as it takes! 

- Take the rest of your hair round to one side, do a small braid and then attach your hair tie.  

- Pop a flower behind your ear, and you are good to go. You can leave your hair down instead of tying it to the side for a different look. 

Create a Quick Do: 

 - Curl your hair, you can either put some curlers in your hair, or use a curling iron.  

 - Start by sectioning off the front ‘fringe’ part of your hair. Then brush it backwards, then push it forwards slightly to create a quiff, then pin into place. Spray with hairspray. Repeat this on both sides of your hair, but bring these sections up slightly before securing.  

 - Add a cute flower above your ear for a vintage look. 

Bandana Do - aka. Rosie The Riveter 

 - Take the fringe part of your hair and create a quiff by brushing it back, pushing it forward and pinning it in place. If you have straight hair, then get your curling iron and push the hair round the barrel to give your hair a head start. And for extra volume, you can backcomb/tease the hair into its proper place. Smooth with some wax/cream and your brush. 

 - Pin the rest of your hair up onto your head. Either in a band, bun or a twist. 

 - Take your scarf (fold a square scarf in half) around your shoulders. Then lift the two ends up to the centre top of your head, and lift the flap to the back of your quiff. Fold in the flaps, and then tie the ends in a knot behind your quiff. Put some pins in to anchor the scarf in place. 

 - Put loads of hairspray in your hair!

 - Put your hot rollers in your hair, and don’t forget to hairspray your hair before putting them in. Take them out once they get cold. 

 - Roll/twirl under your bangs and pin in place. 

 - Separate the rest of the curls with your fingers. 

 - Take two side sections, and temporarily roll them upwards and grip them to finish later. 

 - Section off a small section at the top of the remaining hair, and pull it forward to finish later. 

 - Then take another section, at the centre back of your head, and create a roll. Pin in place. Then take the section above and pin underneath the roll. 

 - Then create another small section underneath and make an upwards roll. Pin it and spray with hairspray. Then divide the remaining hair into two sections, and roll each upward, pin and spray. 

 - Reroll the front side sections and pin them securely. And reroll your bangs slightly to the side.  

 - Pin any loose rolls or flyaways. Attach some flowers to the worst side.
