Styling Hair with Bobby Pins: Tips and Tricks

When it comes to styling hair with bobby pins, there are many ways to achieve a variety of looks. From loose waves to sleek styles, this tiny hair accessory can be used in multiple ways. In this article, we'll explore some tips and tricks for using bobby pins to add style and flair to your hair.

One way to use bobby pins is to curl your hair with a wand. Wrap each section around the wand and only hold for a few seconds before letting go-this will result in natural, light waves. Use a larger barrel curling wand, about 1 1/2', to get those looser looking waves.

Another way to use bobby pins is to add loose waves to your Luxy Hair extensions. Start by popping in your Luxy Hair extensions and curling them with a wand. Lara wears the Seamless Ombre Blonde Luxy Hair extensions in this video.

When it comes to choosing the right bobby pin, there are a few things to consider. The ridged grooves will hold on to the hair better, with a polished, flat surface on top. Choose a pin that matches your hair color to discreetly hold your hair in place or experiment with brighter colors and metallics for a bold look.

But did you know that there's a correct and incorrect way to wear a bobby pin? Instead of sliding the bobby pin with the wavy side up, flip the bobby pin over and apply it wavy side down. This will ensure that your hair is securely held in place without any visible pins.

In addition to using bobby pins for styling, you can also use them as a fashion accessory. You can even DIY a few pearls or embellishments onto the bobby pin to take your look to the next level. If you don't have similar bobby pins available, no problem! Clip a few pins to a piece of paper, then take your favorite metallic or colored nail polish and paint the bobby pin.
