Some people prefer to try elevated pin curls or standing up curls.
All you need to do is follow the same steps as you would to do a flat curl but to create an elevated or standing up pin curl attaching the finished loop with one single or two clips but only on one side this will let the curl slightly elevated from the scalp.
How to do elevated or standing up pin curls
Before you start to pin curl your hair you will need a pin tail comb or a fine toothed comb and some hair grips.
I always like to start at the top of the head, with your comb make a clean long parting in your hair where you would like it.
Now you want to take a 1 inch section of hair (if you want a tighter curl you will need a smaller section of hair or for a looser curl take more hair).
Once you have the section of hair make sure there are no knots and the hair is nice and smooth.
Now you need to spray the hair with setting lotion or some volumizing spray, this will help keep your hair in.
Now you need the bit of hair flatly against your scalp with one finger then take the end of the hair and start winding it in a clockwise position around your opposite index finger which should form a complete circle.
Once you have done that hold the end of the curl with your thumb but at the same time you need to slip the curl off your index finger let the end naturally fold inwards.
Now it is off your finger keep hold of the hair and finish winding, once you have done that place the curl flat against your scalp.
Now clip it in to place with a hair clip or two making sure you clip it through one side of the curl (so the curl elevates from the scalp).
Now you need to continue this all over your head, try to make a uniform pattern.
Once you have finish spray well with hair spray and let dry or sleep over night with it in.
Once dry and ready to style unclip one curl at a time, use your fingers to arrange the curls in the desired style.
