First, you need to know the proper way to use a bobby pin.

Always use the wavy, more textured side to secure hair.

2

Then, you should prep your pins

Spray them with hairspray or dry shampoo so they'll stick! Your hairdo will last way longer.

3

Now, you can keep those hairs out of your face

Annoyed with all those pesky stands of hair in your face? Twist your hair, and slip your bobby pin underneath to secretly pin back your strands.

Try a triangle

Change up your usual hairdo with some exposed bobby pin designs. Cross two sections of your hair over one another in the beck of your head, and slide a bobby pin horizontally over the crossed section. Then slide two bobby pins diagonally up on the left and right sides to make a triangle.

Or be chevron chic

Slide one bobby pin in at a slant, with the open end facing upwards, and then slide a second bobby pin through the first one and downward to create an arrow shape. Repeat this as many times as you like.

And use the "locking" technique

Using a larger bobby pin or hairpin, aim the open end of the pin against the direction that your hair is pulled. Next, rotate the pin so the open end is facing the same direction as the hair, and push the pin in toward your head to secure it. If inserted correctly, the pins will pull your hair tighter and be unnoticeable. Repeat these steps until your style is completely secure.
