pin curl

Secured hair loop

A pin curl is a small coil of hair held flat against the scalp with a bobby pin or clip while damp, then released when dry to create waves or curls.

The technique was standard before electric curlers and remains useful for setting styles without heat: She did her pin curls before bed.
