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.
