Volume/Stand-Up Pin Curls

Volume pin curls, or stand-up pin curls, produce strong

height &volume in a finished style. often used in crown, where most clients prefer volume or lift.

This type of setting is similar to roller setting; in effect, you are setting the hair on “invisible rollers.”

When creating volume pin curls, keep the following in mind:

▪️The base shape can be square, rectangular or (especially@ hairline) triangular. Triangular bases at the hairline camouflage separations or splits in comb-out. They look like this:

▪️Depending on the desired results, the curls may be formed at 135°, 90°, 45°, or 0°, as with any volume curl.

▪️Create curls with an open center; the size of the center depends on the desired result. Clip each curl at the scalpwith a clippie on the scalp, with the direction of the curl standing up and away from the scalp.

▪️This technique is most appropriate for straight hair or hair with moderate curl. Tight curls or hair with a high degree of texture should be set on rollers for a smooth result.

▪️The advantage of volume pin curls over roller curls is decreased drying time.

▪️Flat pin curls are often used on the sides of the head in combination with volume curls.
