Sculpture Pin Curler 
One of the biggest problems I've heard concerning pin curling is starting off the curl. Sometimes it can be difficult to wrap, especially if you have layers. I was sent the Sculpture Pin Curler to test out, and after some trial and error, found it was quite useful for both smoothing out locks, and starting off curls uniformly. I think if I had shorter hair it would be ideal, as when I wrap it completely around as instructed to, the curl is too tight and bulky to pin. 
But I used the tool to start a curl, removed it from the curler, and continued hand curling from there. As you can see in the first photo of me, the curls are all uniform and smooth! No straight ends, which has been an issue lately with this length. And the packaging is adorable, including the instruction booklets and posters of vintage hairstyles. I want to get them framed, I love them that much.
This style is another basic 1940s hairdo.You can see my other 1940s hairstyle tutorial here. You don't have to pin curl, whatever works for you is great! I just prefer pin curling because a wet set has a stronger hold than a heat set. 
And if you have bangs (like I do, about brow length), curl them up while your hair is wet using small velcro rollers. I have these really poky vintage ones, and secure them at the base with a bobby pin. Do not use them on longer hair. They will get stuck and you will cry. 
This has been my go to style lately, once you get used to doing it, it it's pretty quick and easy, but looks quite impressive! 




Remove all curlers or pins. 
Brush out using your brush of choice, or your fingers if your hair looses curl easily. 
Use hairspray on your bangs and comb/brush smooth. This helps with frizz and hold. I also teased the back for a little body. 
Take a front section of hair and spray. 
Use a brush to smooth, and brush upward. 
Curl that section in a loop, down towards the top of your head. 
Place the loop flat on top of your head, and secure with a bobby pin. Place the pin inside the curl. 
If anyone knows of a video that clearly shows how to pin a bobby pin inside the curl, I'd love to know! It's kind of hard to explain...Do the same on the other side, and spray with a bit more hairspray. Use more pins if needed for extra security, and you can comb the sides smooth if they need that too. A little frizz isn't too bad though ;)
Depending on how far forward you place the loops, you can add a hat, scarf, or flowers. 
And here's a collective for reference at a glance!
