-Hey, guys.

I'm Mindy from "Cute Girl Hairstyles."

And I'm here with Bailey today.

-Hi, guys.

-And we're rounding out our month

of hashtag CGHSpooktorials with a tutorial

we're calling "Hair Pin Curls."

So this tutorial is one that you can

use on pretty much a lot of different options for Halloween

hair.

You could do a witch or a zombie.

-Or anything with big hair.

A lion, bride of Frankenstein-- you can also

use this one as a no-heat tutorial,

if you mix it up just a little bit.

So there's lots of options on this particular hairstyle

and ways to use it.

Hi, guys.

So what I've done is, I've started by separating her hair.

And I've just pulled this section--

like, a small section in the very back-- I've left it out.

And I've pulled the rest of it up and out of the way.

And we're going to just be dividing the section

up her head, as we go along.

Now I'm going to go back and take about a one-inch section.

And on her hair it's about one inch.

If you have fine hair or super-thick hair,

you may need to adjust the sections a little bit,

according to the type of hair you have.

I'm going to take a hair pin-- this

is what a hair pin looks like.

It's different than a bobby pin.

I'm going to take the hair pin and put it

right at the root of that strand, like this.

And then I'm going to begin wrapping

the hair around the hair pin, in a figure-eight motion.

So it's going to weave in and out of those two side prongs.

In and out, in and out-- and we're

just going to keep doing this.

And now you can see that, with my thumb,

I'm holding them and pushing them upward,

which allows the room at the bottom of the prongs

to stay open and usable.

And we're going to wrap until we get to the end of her hair.

You're going to take your flat iron.

And you're just going to clamp it right here, at the end.

And hang on to that end, as best you can.

Clamp it down, just for a few seconds.

All the way up, like that.

And wrap these ends.

As you see, it will pretty much stay on there by itself, now

that you've clamped it.

But just for a little added security-- if you want,

do it this way.

You can.

Here's a couple of other options.

One is to take a little alligator clip, like this.

And just secure that end in there, a bit

on-- so that it holds it tight while it's cooling and setting.

And a second option is to take-- and I

like this one-- to take a bobby pin,

and just run a bobby pin, right at the middle.

And that helps hold it in place.

A second option, if you don't want to use heat,

is to wrap the hair on the hair pins,

just like this-- when it's a little tiny bit damp, still.

And then let it air dry.

You can let it air dry just by itself.

You can air dry it overnight, if you'd really

want to sleep in these.

Or you can even pop them under a hooded dryer for a few minutes.

Or, using a hairdryer on a cool setting, just kind of air

dry some of that hair so that it tightens up those curls.

Any of the above works just fine.

So let me show you another curl to it.

So we're going to take that hair-- we're

going to take our hair pin again.

Put it right at the root, and then

begin wrapping the hair around the hair pin.

So just remember, it's a figure-eight motion--

in and out, in and out, in and out.

And you just push with your thumb upward as you go along,

to create room for yourself with her hair, all the way down.

And then take your bobby pin or your straight iron.

And go ahead and straighten it right now.

And then I'm going to put on top of this,

just to straighten her-- Just hold that for a few seconds.

It really doesn't take tons of time.

And you have a nice curl.

We're going to go ahead and just do the rest of her hair,

going across.

And then we're going to begin going up,

until we have her whole head done.

OK.

And we are done.

That took about an hour to do, and I did it just by myself.

And we counted, and there were 45 in Bailey's hair.

She has pretty thick hair.

And I did pretty thick sections, even.

But if you had a lot finer hair, you could do smaller sections

and it may not take you as long.

When you're all done, and you've let the curls cool,

and you've set even a little bit more, then the fun begins.

Because you get to take it all out.

So to take it out, you just release

whatever is holding it on the ends,

and just gently tug it off of the hair pin, all the way.

And then you can just undo the hair pin at the top,

and make it a little interesting.

And what you get is this really fun, zigzagged curl,

as you can see, from the little crimpies that we did.

And it almost looks like rickrack--

like sewing rickrack-- which is why they call it the rickrack

set, or rickrack curl, or hair pin curl, any of the above.

And what happens when you get a bunch of them--

take this one out-- is that when you start separating them

with your fingers a little bit, they just

get really full, because of the crimps.

And it just creates tons of volume and texture.

Now I'm just going to take them all out,

and then I'll show you the finished product.

And the last one-- and you have all

of your hair pin curls done.

So at this point, what I'm going to do

is just very gently separate with my fingers--

now obviously, this is going to frizz it

some more, which is what we're looking for here.

So I don't want to run a brush through it, though,

because that will just completely pouf it out

of control.

And we don't want it out of control.

We just want it really voluminous-- lots of texture.

And we are finished.

So let's do the final spin-- just

look at all that curl and volume.

Awesome.

And you can definitely see how you could pull off

a witch, or a lion, or a zombie, or Hagrid

or-- It had a very editorial feel to me, even

something you might see on "America's Next Top Model."

-Just very fluffy.

-Tons of fluff, and I love it.

I love you, love-love.

--tie it.

And I'm going to go right behind, to the pin curl,

and tie it.

And I don't want it too tight.

Because I want to be able to--
