Classic Marilyn Ribbon Curls with Hidden Structural Pins
How to Make
Replicate golden-era glamour on chin-length hair by setting the entire head in uniform, medium-sized barrel curls directed away from the face. Use a medium-barrel curling iron to create neat, horizontal rolls, clipping each roll flat to the scalp using double-prong setting clips while the hair cools. Once completely cold, remove the clips and gently run a wide-tooth comb through the hair to form distinct, ribbon-like soft wave bands. Take individual curl ends around the face and tuck them under, securing the curves to the scalp with hidden bobby pins inserted underneath the curl loops. This internal pin technique anchors the shape securely while preserving a soft, touchable exterior look. Finish with a liberal application of high-shine gloss spray and strong-hold hairspray to ensure the bouncy, rounded contour holds its shape through movement.
