Instructions

1. Shampoo and condition your hair to remove any debris that might interfere with the styling process. Towel-dry or air-dry your hair completely; do not use a blow-dryer because it removes the luster that's a trademark of pin-up hair.

2. Part your hair to one side of your scalp using a hairbrush; the part should be centered over one eye to add volume to the larger half of the hair.

3. Using the curling iron, curl the length of your hair to implement soft waves throughout. Coat the waves with an even layer of hairspray after curling to make sure the look lasts. Classic pin-up hair has large and wavy curls.

4. Use the flowered hair pin to pin the hair back on the smaller half of the part. Pin the hair just above the ear so that it frames the forehead while keeping the hair out of the face. For a truly classic pin-up appeal, use a hair pin with a large red flower.

5. Style the half of the hair without the hair pin so that it hangs gracefully over your shoulder to complete the look. Alternatively, you can brush your hair upward and pin it back so that the curls and waves spill elegantly from the top of your head.
