We show you easy steps to getting your perfect vintage pin-up curls like Miss Thusi.

  • Pin the sides of the hair you are not plaiting to the side so it doesn’t get in your way.
  • Take a small section of hair where you want the cornrow to begin.
  • Plait the hair on the side into a few rows (size of your head will determine the number of rows).
  • Do this on both sides of your head, leaving the hair in the middle, from front to back, loose.
  • Fold the loose hair over your index finger to finish the hairstyle.
  • Tuck the end of the section of hair under your finger, then pin it down.
  • Repeat this process around the head until all the hair is neatly tucked in.
