Hair Styling Tools

Bobby pins, what are those?  Or, are they just calling them hair pins these days?  Does anyone actually still use a bobby pin/hair pin?  Well, if you are interested in what current hair stylists and designers are using these days, then yes, the bobby pin still has a function.  And, there is actually a hair pin that looks different from a bobby pin.  Instead of the pin closing together at the end, the hair pin is actually spread apart.

So, how do you incorporate bobby pins and hair pins into an updo style? 

1)  Towel dry your hair and make sure to apply some type of shine serum.

2)  Blow dry your hair.

3)  Pull your hair back as if you were going to put it into a ponytail but instead of putting a hairband around the tail start twisting your hair around into a cinnamon bun affect.

4)  While holding the hair against the back of your head, start using hair pins to make sure the bun holds.  Any stray hairs can be secured with the bobby pins.

Of course the old ponytail method of securing your hair into the tail and then the fun begins.  Why not divide the tail into two separate tails and twist each tail on either side of the back of your head.  You can even leave some of the hair hanging out and use a curling iron to give the end that slinky look.  AND what do you use to hold in place each pony tail to the back of your head?  You got it, hair pins and bobby pins.   Who would have thought that the simplest of the old fashioned hair styling accessories would still be in use today?
