A bobby pin is a hair accessory that holds hair in place.They are usually plain and come in a variety of colors to match your hair color.Their original purpose was to be invisible, but eventually they were decorated and colorful for more playful hair styles.
Step 1: A pack of pins can be purchased from a store.
Bobby pins are inexpensive and can be found in the hair accessories aisle.If you choose, you can buy higher quality pins.Salon professionals say that they do a better job of holding your hair in place.Try spraying your pins with spray or texturizing them before using them.The bobby pins can hold your hair.
Step 2: A section of your hair.
Take the comb from your temple to the crown of your head.A rattail comb has a pointed tip.If you don't have a comb, you can use your index finger, but the part will not be straight.
Step 3: Lift the hair section with your fingers.
The hair is pulled away from the lower part of your hair.
Step 4: Pinch the section of hair where you want to put the pin.
If you parted the section of hair on the left side of your head, pinch it with your left hand.You can reach across with your right hand to slide in the pin.If you parted the hair on the right side of your head, pinch it with your right hand.This will prevent your arms from being crossed in front of your head.
Step 5: The wavy side needs to be turned over so that it faces down.
The wavy side of your hair should be against your head.The method provides a better grip on your hair.
Step 6: The flat arm should cover your hair.
If you want the hair to be held in place, you have to place it at a certain angle.If you put it horizontal or downward, your hair will fall out of the pin.The method for pinning back hair is very simple.You will probably have to reinsert it if it doesn't hold for a long period of time.For an extended period of time, you may need to use multiple bobby pins.
Step 7: Don't let loose strands of hair get in the pin.
Pull the strands down if they aren't secured within the pin.
Step 8: Make sure you have pins.
You can buy hair accessories at any store that sells them.Premium bobby pins are better for holding hair than cheap ones from a drugstore, for example.
Step 9: There is a segment of hair near your face.
If you want to separate the hair from the rest of it, you need to part it and lift it.If you have loose strands of hair, push them away from the part.Pull back your hair on the side of your face to keep flyaway hairs from sticking out.
Step 10: Pull the hair back towards the crown.
The section of hair that is falling downward should be parted.If there are bumps as you gently pull it back, smooth them out without dropping any hair segments.Use your fingers or comb to smooth out the bumps.If you pick up stray hairs, they should not be included in the part.
Step 11: If you want to twist the hair a few times, use your index finger.
It is up to you to make the twist loose or tight.You only need to twist the part a couple of times to get a looser twist.
Step 12: The twist should be on the side of your head.
To avoid any bumps, place it at the height you want it to sit at.It's best to lay the twist at an angle so that the hair doesn't grow out when you lay it.You should gently slide the twist down until the hair is flat.Hold the twist in place with the hand that is on the other side of your body.Hold the twist in place with your left hand if it is on the left side of your head.If the twist is on the right side of your head, hold it in place with your right hand.
Step 13: You can reach around behind your head with a bobby pin.
To hold the twist, use the hand that is free to reach behind your head and slide the pin into place.The open side of the pin should point toward your face.The ridged arm of the pin should be against your head.
Step 14: Put your pin where you want it to stop.
If you want to hide more of the bobby pin, slide it underneath the twist.
Step 15: The twist needs to be hidden by the bobby pin.
Again, make sure that the ridged side of the pin is against your head.Most of the bobby pin should be hidden when you insert it.Use pins that are similar to the color of your hair to hide them.
Step 16: If you have stray hairs, clean them up.
If they got caught in the pin, pat them down with your hand and pull it out.
Step 17: Take 1-2 pins.
If you don't have any pins, you can buy a pack at the drugstore.Premium bobby pins are more expensive but hold hair more securely.
Step 18: Your hair needs to be pulled into a ponytail.
Depending on your preference and length of hair, you can put the ponytail at any height.Pull your hair back into a ponytail with a comb or brush.
Step 19: Attach the ponytail with a hair tie.
If you use hair ties with metal, they will get caught in your hair and damage it.Wrap the hair tie enough times to hold the ponytail securely, but not so tightly that it will break your hair.The trick should be done about three times.
Step 20: To reach the underside of your ponytail, lift it up.
You can either hold it up with one hand or flip it over the top of your head.To reach the underside of the ponytail, hold it against the back of your head.
Step 21: Open a bobby pin and aim it at your head.
The bobby pin is going to be inserted into the ponytail.
Step 22: Right at the center of the ponytail is where to put the bobby pin.
Push the pin down until it touches your hair.You should gently do this so that you don't scratch yourself.If you push the pin in wrong, it could cause blisters on your hair.
Step 23: Put your ponytail in a ponytail and tighten it.
When you are securing a ponytail on your head, you should grab the ponytail and squeeze it tighter.Pull out the hair from the sides of the ponytail.It tightens the ponytail by pushing the elastic hair tie closer to your head.To give your ponytail more volume, you can grab the top and bottom of the ponytail and pull them up and down.
Step 24: A pack of pins can be purchased from a store.
There is an aisle devoted to hair accessories, brushes, and combs.The pins are inexpensive.Some women claim that higher quality bobby pins do a better job of holding their hair in place.If you can't afford professional pins, try spraying your hair with spray or texturizing it before using cheaper pins.They have more ability to hold your hair.
Step 25: You can use a comb to cut your hair.
To get the comb to the crown of your head, start at your temple.A rattail comb has a pointed tip.If you don't have a comb, you can use your index finger, but you run the risk of not having a straight part.
Step 26: Lift the hair section with your fingers.
You can separate hairs from the lower area of your hair by pulling the hair up and away.
Step 27: There is a section of hair where you want to put the pin.
If you parted the section of hair on the left side of your head, pinch it with your left hand.You can reach across with your right hand to slide in the pin.If you parted the hair on the right side of your head, pinch it with your right hand.This will prevent your arms from being crossed in front of your head.
Step 28: The wavy side should be down if you turn the pin.
The wavy side of your hair should be against your head.A better grip on your hair is provided by putting the bobby pin in this way.
Step 29: The tip of the pin is where you are pinching your hair.
.To grab a few strands of hair, wiggle the tip of the pin.
Step 30: You want to pin a small part of the hair.
Lift the bobby pin and carry it over the parted hair.
Step 31: The tip should be placed so that the pin is upright.
Put your finger on the rounded end of the pin and wiggle it from side-to-side to grab your hair.
Step 32: Push the end of the pin in a different direction.
The split tip needs to face down in the direction you want it to.The rounded tip should point over your head to the opposite side, and the split tip will point down toward your ear and shoulder.
Step 33: The section of hair you want to pin is through the bobby pin.
The bobby pin is locked in place so that it won't fall out.Carefully clean up any loose strands that got caught up in the lock of the bobby pin.
