Endpaper options and pincurl pin questions

[Myn]

Would it be possible to make endpapers for rag curls out of old sheets or this very thin old knit t-shirt I have? I mean, I know you all aren't going to reach out from the computer and stop me, but would it keep my hair from drying, say overnight, if I used that instead of tissue paper? And what size should I cut them?

Also, can anyone show a picture of what pincurl pins actually look like? I know I'm not supposed to use bobby pins because they leave a line, but beyond that I don't know what to get.

Probably not the best idea, as it will add extra bulk to your curls and will retain water, keeping your hair damp.

Please take a look in the pincurl thread. There's a lot of information in there that should answer all of your questions. You should use double-pronged curl clips like this:

I get better results with bobby pins than with pincurl clips, atleast for flat pincurls.
So don't be afraid of committing pincurl sacrilege, just do what works best for you

If your hair is super straight and fine, you might see a line from regular bobby pins - but I have never had the problem. There are curved ones, they would be more comfortable to sleep in.
And I have heard people say they use squares of toilet tissue as endpapaers, after all, they are the right size and the right price!
