Faux-Hawk with Curly Ends
The curly faux-hawk gives coils a dramatic silhouette using only pins. It looks intricate, but the shape comes from three simple center puffs joined into one continuous ridge.

How to do it
- 01
Divide the center
Section the hair into three horizontal panels from forehead to nape: front, middle, and back.
- 02
Gather three loose puffs
Secure each panel along the center line, keeping the elastics loose enough to preserve fullness.
- 03
Pin up the sides
Smooth each side toward the center and anchor with bobby pins pointing upward into the base of the puffs.
- 04
Blend the sections
Fan the curls from each puff toward the next until the three sections read as one continuous shape.
- 05
Define the ridge
Pick only at the roots, finger-coil the visible ends, and arrange a few curls toward the forehead.
