I would say "ideal" length for pin curls would be about the length you described, just because you have enough length to get a good, solid curl and not have it a) fall flat due to weight (as is the case sometimes with very long hair) or b) remain so curled and short that you look more like a poodle (Okay, maybe that's just my experience with having shorter [~chin to shoulder-length] hair.)<br />As for the fuzziness and crimps, did you use a product? Was your hair maybe too damp or damaged in general? My curls were often uneven as well, but for me having a strong set and lots of brushing at least helped create some uniformity.

I got the crimps, fuzzy ends and uneven curls. I tried brushing but it was not the look I was going for. I wonder if pin curling is better suited for shorter hair?cruella devillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17795809631585893039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3709464507608366653.post-90804318778626598972011-10-09T15:37:33.093-04:002011-10-09T15:37:33.093-04:00I'd love to see how you do yours Lauren!
Zaid...I'd love to see how you do yours Lauren!<br /><br />Zaida, that is so sweet of you! Emily and I are always pleased when we can suck people into the blogosphere, as so many wonderful blogs did us before we finally decided to start one up. Thanks for sticking with us!<br /><br />Isis, I agree. Emily and I do such different sets to get the same-ish style. I can make it speedier when I need to, but it gets verrrry poofy when I do that, so I like to take my time.Emily & Graciehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14397213518343958285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3709464507608366653.post-78933405160498414252011-10-03T16:19:39.825-04:002011-10-03T16:19:39.825-04:00Your hair looks lovely!

And for the brushing out too, I think that is another thing that varies a lot depending on hair type. A brush out fo rme takes 15 minutes at the very most, but my hair is not as thick as yours.Isishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09380497568603304818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3709464507608366653.post-60471713219085880072011-10-03T10:12:21.999-04:002011-10-03T10:12:21.999-04:00So glad you were straight honest with the time it ...So glad you were straight honest with the time it takes you! Other 'blog pin curlers' always brag how quickly they're done - both with curling and combing. <br />Having long thick hair I'm pretty much like you, although lately I've been combing my curls one by one, it reduces the frizz quite a bit.<br />You look lovely with that nightwear, so elegant :)<br />I'm a non-blogger who stops by every day, you're one of my top 3 favourite blogs.phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02910140761489380148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3709464507608366653.post-81893341991840035532011-10-02T10:17:39.881-04:002011-10-02T10:17:39.881-04:00I swear my hair ends up looking almost exactly lik...I swear my hair ends up looking almost exactly like yours when I pin curl it, but I do almost everything differently! Of course, people at salons always like to talk about how "weird" my hair is. Oh, well!<br /><br />Love your robe--it's so pretty! You're making me feel like a total slouch because I'm wearing a t-shirt, leggings and one of my husband's sweaters. Don't tell anyone! ;-)Lauren Hairstonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18037717621464819611noreply@blogger.com
