How are pin curls secured?

• A. With glue
• B. With rubber bands
• C. Using pins on the opposite side
• D. With clips or pins

Answer: (D)

Pin curls are secured with clips or pins to hold the curl in place while it dries or sets. After you wrap a small section of hair into a circle, position the curl at the scalp and pin or clip the base so the shape stays intact. The pin or clip is angled to grip securely without slipping. Glue and rubber bands aren’t used for this technique—glue is unsanitary and damaging, and rubber bands can leave dents or break the hair. Using pins or clips gives a clean, removable hold that preserves the curl.
