Which type of pin curl offers more mobility?

The long stem pin curl offers more mobility because the length of the stem allows for greater movement of the curl. The stem is the section of hair between the base and the curl, and a longer stem provides flexibility in the curl's position. This means that the style can be manipulated more easily, allowing for varied textures and shapes, which is especially valuable when creating soft waves or when styling hair that needs to have volume without being overly structured.

In contrast, a no stem pin curl directly attaches to the base without any length, restricting movement and making the curl more static. While a flat pin curl creates a smoother and more controlled look, it lacks the versatility offered by a longer stem. Spiral pin curls, although they create a defined spiral shape, can also be less mobile compared to long stem pin curls due to their structure, which can limit how much the curls can be adjusted once formed.
