1. RIGHT - To make a pin curl correctly, the strand of hair is not twisted as it is wound. Ends are inside curl, and curl is pinned over natural base. 2. WRONG - In incorrect pin curling, the strand of hair is twisted as it is wound and dragged away from natural base. Ends are left outside curl.
   
3. RIGHT - In correct pin curling, the curls are even in size, they are set in rows of even width. Pins are inserted to run parallel to each other. 4. WRONG - In incorrect pin curling, the curls are uneven in size, the rows are uneven. Pins are inserted in all directions so underneath hair buckles.
   
5. RIGHT - When the correctly executed pin curls are combed out, they fall into these smooth, even waves that look lovely and natural in line. 6. WRONG - When the incorrectly executed pin curls are combed out, the result is uneven waves that buckle, have ridges and kinks, and don't hold.
