How to make a pin-up hairstyle with your own hands (with photo, video)
The hairstyle should also match the general direction.
The main features of the original pin-up hairstyle are tight rollers, curls and spirals of hair, as well as bright accessories: bows, scarves, ribbons.
Pin-up models often have long curls, but there are ideas for a short haircut on this topic.
Short pin-up hairstyles with a headscarf
Regardless of the length of your strands, you can try on a daring look with an obvious retro touch.
Arm yourself with a bright thin scarf – it will help you add a colorful touch to a simple styling:
If you are wearing a pixie haircut, simply comb your bangs forward and curl them into small curls with a curling iron:
- Put on a scarf like a bandana, but bring the ends forward and tie a knot with coquettishly protruding tips on the crown of your head.
- Instead of a scarf, you can use a bandage with a decorative knot and ends with a wire frame.
For a bob haircut, an option with two rollers is suitable, which are made using a parietal hair curling iron:
- Lay the rollers from the face to the crown, you can lay them at a certain angle to each other or make rollers of different sizes.
- Twist the remaining strands into a tourniquet, lift the ends up and stab with hairpins. Curl the ends of your hair with a curling iron and complete the styling with a scarf.
If your hair is cut in a cascade, use thermal curlers:
- Divide your hair into small strands and curl to the very roots.
- After removing the curlers, do not comb the hair, but fluff the curls with your fingers, adding volume.
- Use the scarf again as a decor, fold it in a strip and tie it on the crown of the head.
In the photo – hairstyles with a pin-up scarf, which are perfect for a themed party or photo shoot, provided that you have the appropriate outfit:
But in everyday life, this style can be appropriate, for example, on the beach in combination with both a sundress and a bathing suit.
Pin-up styling for medium length hair
Do you like to shock others? Do you wear non-standard outfits, decorate yourself with piercings and tattoos?
Then it will be useful for you to learn how to make a do-it-yourself pin-up hairstyle that will perfectly complement the punk rock look, especially when combined with a custom hair color.
Steps for styling medium length hair:
- Separate the strands of the parietal zone and generously apply a styling product in the form of a dense mousse
- Place the heating element of the curling iron parallel to the crown of the head in the direction from the face to the top of the head.
- Roll the hair onto the curling iron, and then carefully remove the tool, holding the roller with your fingers.
- Spread the front edge of the roller with your fingers to get a “lying" cone, tapering towards the crown
- If necessary, fasten the cone with invisibility from the side of the crown
- Temporal strands smoothly comb back and combine with crown and occipital strands
- Tie the tail with an elastic band as high as possible
- Curl the ends of the hair with a curling iron, and at the base of the tail, the strands can be combed
The same styling can be done for a retro-style party, but the inconspicuous elastic band that holds the tail should be covered with a bright scarf to match the dress.
"Pin-up" for long hair with bangs
Long hair allows you to create many interesting styling, but the main features remain unchanged – these are all kinds of rollers and curls, and as close to the face as possible.
On the video – a pin-up hairstyle for long hair with an original bang, complemented by a thin bright scarf, you can also use a colorful knitted bandage or satin ribbon:
- Separate a thin strand of hair on the crown of your head, from which the bangs are usually cut, and pin it from the side of the face with a clip so that it does not interfere
- Collect the rest of the hair in a ponytail between the crown and the back of the head and curl with a curling iron into elastic curls
- Throw the tail up and secure with stealth over the elastic
- Lower the ends of the hair, covering the invisibility and the base of the tail
- Release the front strand and curl it into a neat horizontal roller
- Pull out the curling iron while holding the roller with your fingers
- Take the roller from both sides and twist it harder to the very roots
- On the sides, fasten the roller with invisibility
- Fill the entire hairstyle with plenty of varnish

Elastic clear rollers and spirals can be obtained using foam rubber papillots:
