Slide and hide! Here’s how to keep your pins in seamlessly.
Bobby pins are every girl’s little helpers. They can equally turn any messy ‘do into an elaborate coiffure and add a touch of sophistication to the most basic hairstyle in no time. The thing is that making them stay put and hidden often complicates the styling process. Because, you know, getting a perfect hairdo at first try would be too easy.
Luckily, we’ve found three life-saving hair hacks to keep your pins hidden while wearing your tresses down. No more failed attempts! Only smooth and well-blended hairstyles where bobby pins stay invisible yet do their job, providing you with a perfect glam every time! Give them a try!
For this romantic, Pinterest-inspired half-up style, you’ll only need two bobby pins. After curling your locks or creating soft waves, section off a side tendril and pull it back so that it stays closer to the center.
Then, slide the pin up and twist it in such a manner that the tip goes straight through the hair strand. This way, it will stay invisible. Repeat on the opposite side and enjoy your low-effort look!
Pro tip: If you have thick locks, take a smaller hair section to make sure a pin can hold it in place without sliding right out.
This K-Pop hair hack is your must-try option if you want a seamless tucked-behind-the-ear effect. First things first, section off a three-finger width of hair at the front. Next, take a hair strand just above the ear and bring it forward so that it holds the front piece, just like in the video.
Secure the tendril with a bobby pin, letting it sit horizontally. Finally, cover both sections with a top layer to hide the pin and create the illusion of a tuck-in look. That’s it! Your soft, celebrity-worthy glam is ready.
Tired of boring styles? Try a faux braid hairdo that’ll bring your half-updo to the next level. Start by sectioning off thin hair strands on both sides of your hair and pinning them at the back of your head in a crisscross manner.
Make sure each new strand covers the bobby pin attached to the upper sections. The technique will keep the pins underneath your hair and provide a beautiful, braid-like arrangement that accentuates your length.
Sometimes, a small change can make a big difference, even if it means using a bobby pin a bit differently this time. Save these hacks for later, and you’ll see how they speed up your styling routine and uplevel your everyday glam in an instant!
