Hairpins - a simple helper for a flawless fit

Most people buy hairpins for one reason only! And that is for the perfect hold of the hairstyle. However, poor quality or inappropriate use can make the application a pain.

In everyday life, everyone wants to fly through life with top styling and not leave a bad impression visually on those around them. Of course, the perfect appearance can only be rounded off with well-styled hair, as if you had just come fresh from the hairdresser.

Hairpins can be the perfect little helper here, provided the hold remains throughout the day. Unfortunately, this is often not the case; during the course of the day they slip and make hairstyles look wild.

But why do pins slip? So that this doesn't happen to you in the future, we'll give you a few tips along the way.

Hairpins - why are they so popular?

Also known as bobby pins, it is hard to imagine today's hair styling world without hair pins. They help you to divide individual sections of hair or, in the other case, to highlight individual strands. This is different from hair bands, which highlight an entire section of hair. So with the help of bobby pins, you can really shape your hairstyle with the hold you need in everyday life.

In hairdressing, they are therefore part of the basic equipment! Whether they are placed visibly in the hair or hidden as you wish is entirely up to you.

Hairpins bring the following advantages:

• Do not take up space
• Look inconspicuous
• Go with any hairstyle

Hairpins also have other advantages, namely that they are neither annoying nor unpleasant during application. Furthermore, they are provided with a protective layer, which ensures that the application is gentle on the scalp and hair.

So that you can store your new hairpins, we offer a large assortment of jewellery stands. There you will also find small boxes and caskets. Lost hairpins are thus a thing of the past.

The different applications of hairpins

The hairpins can be found in braids or in open hair and give the styling that certain something. However, they are most often used in updos.

If you want to give your hairstyle a special touch, you can highlight it with crystals, pearls or selected colours.

But hairpins can also help you in everyday life, how? Quite simply, they ensure that annoying strands quickly disappear from your face. As you can see, the areas of application are versatile, we have listed them once again:

• Parting strands
• Adding a special touch to the hairstyle
• Provide a better hold.

The structure of hairpins

If you want to buy hairpins, you can hope for a wide selection. If we look at the classic model, we notice that they are usually made of metal and have two sides connected to each other.

One side is wavy, while the opposite side is completely smooth. When we look at the ends, we can see a slight upward curve. For what reason? The manufacturers of the hairpins have already thought of something with this design. The wavy underside provides an optimal hold, while the slightly curved part supports the hold. The smooth surface of the hairpins ensures that the top hair can disappear without any problems or that the hairstyle is adorned with a noble decoration.

Hairpins ensure a good hold - four tips

You want to buy hairpins, but don't really know how to create a bomb-proof hairstyle with them? No problem, in the following lines we give you four tips for the perfect hold of your hair.

The hairdryer for more hold

Heating the hair makes it easier to shape than when it is cold. Means: To really shape your hairstyle for the next styling, heat the individual highlights and then the hair pins. Now insert the bobby pins into the hair as you wish and use the cold setting of the hairdryer to cool the hair down to create a perfect hold.

Hairspray, Hairspray!

As you know, hairpins tend to slip in the hair because of the smooth metal surface. Hairspray could be the solution. To do this, carefully bend up the hairpins and spray the surfaces with the spray. Wait a short moment while the hairspray dries and then place them in the hair as usual.

Use the needles with the correct side

The bobby pin sides differ, on one, they are smooth and on the other, they are wavy shaped. Coincidence? Hardly! The manufacturers have thought of something, and that is to give the hair more strength. Remember: To fix the strands optimally, the wavy side should always point downwards.

Double holds better

There is a well-known saying: Double is better! You probably know this too, don't you? Thin hair can still be fastened with a hairpin without any problems. With heavy or long hair, it's a different story. With only one bobby pin, you will quickly reach your limits.

How does it work? It's very simple: put two clips close together for an optimal hold. Now stabilise the hairstyle with a little hairspray and you're done!
