Pin Curls VS Flexi Rods

I usually always run to flexi rods when I want to have curly hair but if you read my last post you will know that last night I fancied a change and tried some pin curls! I looked on YouTube for tutorials and found some great ones!

With the pin curls I curled each piece with a straighter (can use a curling iron) and then used my fingers to spiral the hair then pinned each piece on my head. The results in the morning were gorgeous! So it had me thinking.......  Pin curls or Flexi rods




Here's some pics.....

Results!

  • Pin curls give great volume and bouncy curls to your hair, flexi rods give bouncy curls too but not as voluminous.
  • Flexi rods last all day! Like literally until the next day lol, but I'm not too sure if pin curls will as the curls have already dropped a tiny bit.
  • Pin curls take longer to put in especially as you have to curl it first (you can probably skip the heat and use your fingers straight away but heat helps to keep them in longer)
  • Pin curls are great for messy curls and waves where as flexi rod curls are more uniform and you can separate them to create huge Diana Ross hair! Haha!
So my verdict? Well...I like them both haha! If I knew I was going to be out allll day I would go for flexi's though and if I wanted bombshell hair for a night out pin curls would be where its at!

Pin curls!
Flexi Rod curls!

Which one do you like better?

Late night 60's/Rockabilly attempt!

I didn't fancy putting my hair in the usual flexi rods/flexi rollers so I decided to put it in pin curls! I searched YouTube and found some great tutorials.

 I tied my hair down with a scarf as I always do before sleeping and noticed one of the curls was peeking out of the front which I thought looked pretty cool so I decided to take a few snaps, one thing led to another and the lipstick, eye liner and concealer came out haha! Bare in mind this was before bed LOL.
