How to do a 1930s inspired pin curled hair syle...

Helllllo

So this is my first ever tutorial (eeeck!) but i really wanted to share this look with you as it is my FAVOURITE!


          I've been trying to pin curl my hair for ages to make it look like Emma Watson in ballet shoes (major hair inspo!) I wanted it to look very sleek and classic, but all the tutorials i found seemed to involve sleeping with pins in your hair which really isn't very comfy. So after a couple of tries i've found a way of making your hair look pin curled just by using your straighteners! yay!

          So here you are!

How to do a 1930s inspired pin curled hair with your straighteners (and some makeup stuff)!

1)First you need to go in the shower, i think this works better on clean hair and also it still looks nice on second day hair. So wash your hair then leave it in the towel for a bit, i leave it in while i eat breakfast. So about 10-15 minutes.

2)Use this time to do your skin care routine, i spray my face with lush's tea tree water and apply spot cream to any breakouts.

3)When the time is up you want to use either a bobby pin or preferable a hair section clip, either works. You want to put on on each side of your head right at the front about level with your eyebrow. This will keep the top bit very sleek and smooth.

4)I then spray my hair with VO5 plump it up blow dry lotion, and brush this through my hair. You want to part your hair just to the side, So the parting is in line with the middle of your eye. Then just blow dry your hair with the pins in trying to get it as straight and smooth as possible.

5)Now you want to choose your outfit. If you want to keep with the 1930s theme go for a tea dress or skirt with a jumper over. I went for my red polka dot dress and skin colour tights  But this hair can go with anything, so anything will do! Plug your straighteners in now to let them warm up and take out the pins!

6)After that you want to apply your make up but not your mascara yet. I use Garner's BB cream, The Body Shop's tea tree concealer and Miss Sporty's So Clear pressed powder. You want your face to look very clear and matte, so use powder to get rid of any shine! Then brush a little pink blusher onto the apples of your cheeks to give you a little Rosy glow.

7) now for the important part!
