How do you use bobby hair pins?

Published in Hair styling 2 mins read

To effectively use bobby pins, you should slide them into your hair at a specific angle for a secure hold.

Inserting Bobby Pins Correctly

It's important to insert bobby pins in the right way to prevent your hair from falling out. Here’s how:

  • Angle is key: Slide the bobby pin straight up, towards the top of your head, or at a slight angle toward the back of your head.
  • Avoid horizontal or downward insertion: Inserting the pin completely horizontally or downward can cause your hair to slip out.
  • Simple technique: This method is a quick and straightforward way to pin back your hair.

Example Use Case

Step Description
1 Gather the section of hair you want to secure.
2 Position the bobby pin at a slight angle.
3 Slide the bobby pin up through the hair.
4 Check that the pin is secure.

Tips for Better Bobby Pin Use

  • Ensure the wavy side of the pin is facing down toward your scalp for better grip.
  • Use multiple pins for sections of hair that are thick or need extra hold.
  • Consider the size and shape of your bobby pins depending on your hair type.
