Hairstyles - The Pinned Look

The bobby pin (those things floating around the bottom of your purse and all over your bathroom floor) was once purely used to give styles structure and hold them in place. Not anymore! Pinned hairstyles are in and bobby pins are used to decorate buns, waves, bobs, braids, and more. Here are some new ways to wear the hottest hair accessory of the moment.

 

After creating loose spirals with a one-inch curling iron, brush the hair behind the shoulders and slip the pins along the hairline and across the back of the head.  The pins add something new and modern to this classic style.

This pinned back bob is sleek and fun! Depending on the hair color, use contrasting colors to make pins pop.

 

Add a bit of pins peeking out and the look becomes edgy and interesting. For a similar effect, mist a texturizing spray throughout hair before blow-drying it, then wrap random sections all over your head around a one-inch curling iron. Pull the ends into a very, very loose, low side-braid or knot, and then start sticking in pins randomly.

 

Pull your hair into a low, messy bun and secure it at the bottom of your neck. To create the chevron pattern, slide a bobby pin in on an angle, then slide a second pin through the end of the first one in the opposite direction. Repeat that three or four more times, about a half an inch apart.

 

Try some of these fab looks out and let me know they turned out :)
