I don't have any tips...just wanted to say that her hair looks very beautiful! Nice shine!
Since my sister realised I was irritatingly persistent she has begun to allow me to style her hair, so I started off with pin curls...
And it was a bit of a mess. She has quite slippery hair...
This is about twenty minutes after we took them out, after three hours(ish) of being in:
She normally has pin-straight hair, so an interesting result, but not very neat. Any tips for future pin curls? Smaller sections perhaps? She has layers which makes it a wee bit difficult too....

Did you start with her hair damp? That makes a big difference.

Long hair hiatus: short hair for now, buzzcut!
Hmm. Wet hair & smaller, well defined sections will help. Duck clips are easier than bobby pins, too.
Did you look at YouTube? There's definitely a technique to it. It might take some practice.
I can do it, but I'm slow with all this hair.
I love it! So pretty. Not-so-neat makes it look modern.
Pin curls work best for me if I pin them while damp. Get out of the shower, turban for ~5minutes, and start pin curling.
Then I sleep with them in with a handerkerchief around my head to protect the curls.
In the morning, the curls are formed and almost in destructible.
I do have naturally curly hair, but pin curls adds a uniformity that I never have naturally. However, I have done this on friends that have stick straight hair, and it always is the only thing that gives them lasting curls.
Also, I can't quite tell from the photos, but I think you are using too much hair for a curl. Try taking a pencil sized lock of hair and rolling it into a curl that is very tight (almost cinnamon bun tight) against the scalp. Pin in place.
I usually do them when my hair is about 75% dry. I put them in, using between 1 1/2 and 3 inch sections depending on the size of curls. I tie my head in a scarf, sleep on it, take them out in the morning and comb them with a VERY wide-tooth comb. No brushing, no finer-tooth combing or it floofs, but it might not with her hair- it looks pretty sleek. Her color is beautiful, by the way. Is it natural?

Damp hair in small neat sections. Pin curls are nothing more than tiny cinnabuns.
I actually really like what you did. It was cute as an updo and sort of sexy bedhead when it was down.
