The danger of living right across the street from a Kroger goes beyond midnight snacks. The market actually has a really extensive beauty aisle with makeup must-haves and hair essentials. It makes my weekly shopping easy (and tempting), since I can get everything in one place.

The Kroger beauty aisle has nearly all of my favorite brands, including Suave®, to help me create whatever look I’m currently obsessing over. Recently I’ve been loving this twist on a classic American pin-up hairstyle, which is a bit more toned down and wearable for modern-day life.

See the step-by-step tutorial! | Slashed BeautySince a classic pin-up style is all about volume, we’ve gotta use the right products to get us there. You already know that one of my go-to shampoo and conditioner duos for easy styling is the Suave® Sea Mineral Infusion Shampoo and Conditioner. It gives my hair a boost of body and texture to make it more manageable without sacrificing moisture.

2. Smooth & Protect

This weightless product will add even more volume while we style, and give us hold to our look while simultaneously smoothing the ends.

3. Blow Dry

Use a round brush and a blow dryer with a concentrator attachment, which will help give us some classic waves to the ends of our hair. Try angling the blow dryer down the shaft of the hair to reduce frizz and blow moisture off your hair.

4. Create the Pin Curl

Create a side part, and start the curl by rolling a 2” section of hair at the front of your face around two fingers. Pinch the hair and keep rolling up to the to the root. Flatten the curl against your head and pin into place.

5. Finish the Style
