Choosing hair pins
Start with the form. Straight pins suit simple updos, while crimped pins grip better on fine or slippery hair. Length matters too: longer pins suit dense or long hair, and shorter ones work for small sections and bangs.
Check the finish. Smooth, coated pins glide in without snagging, while textured surfaces hold hair with less slipping. If you have a sensitive scalp or a metal sensitivity, choose a coated option and read the product details first.
Using hair pins well
Pins hold best in clean, slightly dry hair or in hair with a light styling product for grip. Slide each pin in with the bend facing the direction the hair should lie, then twist gently to lock it. Use two or three pins in a crisscross pattern for a secure bun.
Remove pins by sliding them back out the way they went in to reduce tangles. Store them in a case to keep the tips straight. For more structure, pair pins with a Bun and Crown Shaper.
