Old-Fashioned Pincurls

Recently, Mrs. Wilt from The Sparrow's Nest shared photos of her hair up in old-fashioned pincurls. This week I experimented on Grace and Emily's hair and we were all happy with the results!

The first 2 photos are of the first try and their hair was completely dry. I put it in a simple ponytail and then separated it into 4-5 individual strands, twisted them, and coiled them into mini cinnamon rolls. I secured each one with two bobbypins.

For the second try, after putting the hair in a ponytail I wet down each individual strand with water and it really helped to keep the hair in place. It also stayed up much longer. Lots of hairspray helped too! :0)

  1. Wonderful job! I know when my daughter and her friends put their hair up in "up do's" Aqua Net is the hairspray of choice (sometimes the whole can!) I appreciate your comments on my own blog, Kelli. Please continue dropping by and we'll have a cup of tea together.

  6. When I was a girl my mom used to put my hair up in rag curlers, I then had soft pretty curls the next day. I even had a little old fashioned colonial~style cap I wore over the curlers at night to keep them in place. Your girls look lovely!

  8. Great job Kelli. However, according to "Anne with an E", are they old enough to put their hair up? =)
