Pin Curls on Lightly Flat Ironed Hair

[CurlyLawGal]

Good morning, all!

I just had to share my successful pin curl set! The pictures are not the best, so I will see if my SO can take some pics after work. But, I just could not continue working without sharing this with you all!

Here is what I did:

* Washed w/ Ion sulfate free shampoo
* Deep conditioned with Matrix Ultra Hydrating Conditioning balm
* Applied Paul Mitchell super skinny
* Air dried all day in a wet bun
* Blow dried damp sections on low heat with fingers (no comb or brush)
* Flat ironed with one pass (my hair was not 100% straight)
* Applied a dab of coconut oil
* Pin curled

I am in LOVE with the results! The pics really don't do it justice, but I just wanted to pass this along to any naturals who are trying to use less heat.

Pretty! My siggy is pin curled hair too. I love to be able to get curls with no heat! That's all I did when I was relaxed.

Yep, I'm natural! I have been laying off the heat for awhile, but I am slowly bringing it back into my reggie.

Looks straight to me! What kind of flat iron do you have?

Looks straight to me! What kind of flat iron do you have?

I use the classic Pink Chi http://www.target.com/p/CHI-Air-Classic-Tourmaline-Ceramic-1-Flat-Iron-Collection/CHI-Air-Classic-Trmln-Crmic-1-Flat-Iron/-/A-12796745

I need to upgrade, but I just can't bring myself to pay for ANOTHER flat iron. However, I do like this one because you can control the heat setting.

Love your siggy! I want to try Crisco, I'm just still a bit skeptical. Does it have a scent?

Your instructions seem ideal for relaxed heads who want to minimize heat as well, I'll bookmark this

Thank you!

Crisco is just soybean oil and palm oil - both contain ceramides, which is a plus. There's nothing mysterious in it. If your hair likes most oils, it will probably like Crisco.

No, it has no scent at all.

Gorgeous

Good God your hair is pretty!

IT LOOKS SO PRETTY!!!

Okay, I give in. At first I said, "Crisco? Never. Not for me." and each reveal thread pushed more closer... I'm going to try Crisco. I have a big thing of it I hardly use (I think I used once) and I was going to flat iron anyway. All of the results posted have been gorgeous. And thanks for posting how you did it, I'm texlaxed and I try not to use heat as often as possible so I'll be referring back to your post. Your hair turned out great! I might have to try pin curls too.

Your hair is gorgeous!

Your pin curls turned out great! They are a great no heat way to preserve a flat iron job. I used pin curls to survive a 4 day business trip to Vegas last May with freshly flat ironed hair. The only tools I had were bobby pins, oil and my scarf.
