Crisscrossing bobby pins involves using them to secure hair in place by overlapping them in an "X" shape for extra hold. Based on the reference provided, this technique is commonly used to secure a hair "poof" or other hairstyles needing reinforcement.
Here's a breakdown of how to do it, incorporating insights from the reference:
-
Create Your Desired Hairstyle: First, style your hair into the desired shape (e.g., a poof).
-
Position the First Bobby Pin: Take a bobby pin and insert it into the hair where you need to secure it. The reference mentions using the first bobby pin after achieving the desired look for the poof (0:20-0:25).
-
Position the Second Bobby Pin: Take a second bobby pin and insert it so that it crosses over the first bobby pin, forming an "X" shape (crisscross). This provides a stronger hold (1:10).
