A hair pin is a hair accessory made of a thin piece of metal used for holding sections of hair in place. It is available in different widths and lengths. It can be plain or elaborately decorated or jeweled.
Types of Hair Pins
Kinds of Hair Pins include the following:
Bobby pin
A bobby pin is a small and plain hair pin.
It comes in different colors to match the different hair colors.
It was widely used in the 1920s when the hairstyle known as the “bob cut” was in fashion. It was used to keep the bobbed hair in place.
It is also used for lock picking.
Jeweled hair pin
A jeweled hair pin is adorned with gemstones.
It is commonly decorated in floral, butterfly, and rainbow shapes.
It is inserted in the hair mainly as decoration.
It is ideal for special and formal occasions such as debuts and weddings.
Choosing Hair Pins (Buying tips)
Finish: Choose hair pins with plain finishes as coated or plated hair pins can peel off and look unattractive. Decoration: Choose a jeweled hair pain with a welded--not glued--decoration to prevent it from falling off easily.
