How Do You Use a Twist Hair Pin?

A twist hair pin (also known as a spin pin) is used to secure hairstyles by twisting it into the hair, much like screwing in a screw.

Here's a breakdown of how to effectively use a twist hair pin:

1. Gather your hair: Create the hairstyle you desire (bun, updo, etc.).

2. Position the pin: Hold the base of the pin against the hair where you want to secure it.

3. Twist and insert: Twist the pin into your hair in a clockwise direction. As you twist, apply gentle pressure to guide the pin into the style. Imagine you are screwing it in.

4. Conceal the pin: The goal is to hide the pin within the hairstyle so only the styled hair is visible.

5. Secure the style: Use additional pins as needed to reinforce the hold and ensure your hairstyle is secure.

6. To remove: Twist the pin in the opposite direction (counter-clockwise), again like unscrewing it. This should release the pin easily without pulling or damaging your hair.

Twist hair pins are an efficient and discreet way to hold hairstyles in place, providing a strong hold without the bulkiness of traditional bobby pins. They are often preferred for buns and other updo styles.
