21 Bobby Pin Hairstyles You Can Do In Minutes




Pin up, girl.





First things first:

Remember that bobby pins are meant to be used with the wavy side facing your scalp — the ridges are there to grip your hair and lock everything in place.





1. For no-show pins, point the bobby pin in the opposite direction of the hair you’re pinning back.

Twist the pulled back section slightly, so that the pin has something to weave into. Find instructions for this quick tuck at Cosmo.






2. This works for pinning back braids too:
