The blonde fro is black. I'M slightly obsessed with these curls slightly obsessed, welcome back to my channel lovelies today we're talking about all the common mistakes with bobby pins that i have endured all over the years all over the years. All of these years we have. Finally, finally made it on the same page, we're finally tight bobby and i get it they're supposed to be tight in your hair. I don't know it's so corny, let's just move on. Let'S move on so the very first common mistake. I'Ve always happened to like struggle with was finding the best quality bobby pins and yes, there's a good guy and then there's a bad guy. So my favorite brand that i've discovered over the years for bobby pins is the metagrip brand. So the very first element that a lot of bobby pins fall short on is the quality of the metal. Yes, yes, we are getting skimped on metal, you guys. So what i mean by is the meta grip. When you hold it, when you use it, you can feel and see that the metal is really really good quality. It'S wider, it's thicker compared to the bad guy. You can automatically see and feel that the metal is very flimsy. It'S a lot thinner and it's just a very, not good quality. That brings me to the second point: the clamp force, meta grip, their metal is very good quality. It'S a little bit wider, it's thicker than most bobby pins, which means the force or the clamp, is going to be very strong, and it's not going to diminish over time just because the quality is there and you just spread it out once it goes back to Its original shape size, it's just it's there, it's very hard to pull apart, just because the clamp is so strong, and this brings me to this little guy here, the scrawny guy. Just look at this. I bend it once and it's so easy to spread it apart. Just because the clamp force is very weak just because of the quality of the metal. Yes, if these two were in a brawl, this one would win just because it's bigger - and we like things bigger for doing that, is the question common mistake. Number two for me was choosing the right sized bobby pins. Yes, sometimes size matters. So here is the difference between the two, the first one, the top one is the miniature one and the bottom one is like the average medium sized. So you can see the miniature one is like three quarters of the length of its original and yes, there are different situations where you need the mini ones versus the long ones so for the mini bobby pins. I use them mostly for like detailing work in my hair, for example, if i'm doing like a pompadour, i will use two of those just to secure the hair together on the top another one. A great example is, let's say, i'm putting my hair up in a top now or braiding, and some of the hair falls down because too short mini bobby pins, they're excellent for those situation. Those are great examples, and there are so many other ones, but just think of like those little detailing work, where you don't want the bobby pin to show as much right, mini bobby pins are amazeballs, they're, so great, for so many reasons and then the other ones. The average size or the medium size bobby pins, those are more great for if you want more clamping force, for example, i will i love taking my hair to the back and just taking longer sections or bigger sections of hair. This is where the average size bobby pins come into play because they have more clamping force. That'S when they get involved. It'S that simple common mistake, number three that i used to battle with is wearing or positioning the bobby pins incorrectly. The bobby pins usually come with two different sides has a ridge side, and then it has a flat side and there's actually a reason behind this. Let me show you and you guys, there's some geometry involved between the ridge and the flat side and we all know we slept in that geometry class because i hated it. I did i loved it. So, basically, what it is, the geometry of the ridges towards your scalp, it basically maximizes the grip to your hair and the clamp or the bobby. Pin that's pretty much it. You guys want to see something funny, i'm not the only one that slept with geometry. Pretty much like 99.999 of accessorized bobby pins, all of the pretty accessories are on the rich side, so they also think the right way is to wear it on your flat side. That'S what i thought. I feel better about myself now common mistake, number four! I always had an issue on how to properly hide or disguise the bobby pin in my hair. Take your bobby pin of choice. Take your hair that you want to secure. Get your bobby pin! Take it apart. Just a little bit put the hair through the bobby pin a little bit just like so so it's in there and then what we're going to do make sure your ridges are on top at first, when you put the hair in the bobby pin you pick it Up just like so at like 90 degrees, and you go all the way towards your scalp making sure the ridges are touching your scalp now and then you just bring it down against your scalp. So common mistake, number five for me personally was: do i keep the bobby pin open slightly or do i keep it closed the entire time when i actually secure the hair into my head, and this one is slightly a controversy between a lot of hair lovers, just Because a lot of people or professionals recommend for you to keep the bobby pin closed at all times when you slide it in, but for me personally, even when my hair is super fine and thin and flat when i just put it into my hair just closed. Let me just show you right now: it doesn't really grab the hairs on top. It just grabs the hair from underneath. So it kind of looks sloppy, and i don't know it just never worked properly for me. So what i do to really help me to get the most use out of a bobby, pin, elsa open it just a little bit like the very first ridge and i'll, take my finger and hold it right by the very first ridge. I'Ll. Take that and then i'll take the hair that i want pinned back and then i'll make sure everything else is closed and obviously don't grab huge chunks of hair for a tiny, little bobby pin. That'S when you can use at least like two three four bobby pins. Just to hold a section in place like for this section, i'll use like two or three bobby pins, just because it's a lot of hair, that's important right, common mistake! Number six is when i would use too many bobby pins in the same place without getting the maximum hold. The solution was just take two bobby pins and just crisscross them on top of each other. It kind of interwines the hair between the bobby pins and they last all day long all night long and it was like the greatest solution ever so common mistake. Number seven was: i never knew how to actually hide those really tiny hairs. With like a bobby pin properly, which was like one bobby pin. For example, i would do like a top knot on the very top right here and because my hair is shorter and has layers like those little hairs. They would just like stick out straight out and i would use like five bobby pins for like one little area and like try to hide it, and they would just like always pop back up. There'S one tiny little trick to that. Take your mini, bobby, pin and put the very end or that little part of your hair through the bobby pin and make sure you bring it all the way over to where that little hole is to the very end. You give it a little twist like one two like three two or three to four twists, and then you stick it right into your hair and that way that hair is gon na stay in place, because it has more friction with the bobby pin and your hair. Instead of just putting it straight through the bobby pin without any twist common mistake, number eight for me, it kind of deals more with braiding, i kind of learned along the way was i tried to fix an issue. For example, i would braid my hair and i would miss like a little section of hair and i wouldn't put it into the braid. So what i would try to do was take like two to four pins and like try to pin it on one side and then take on the other side and pin it there's an easier solution to that. You grab your little bobby, pin and make sure you put the hair right in between the ridges. You don't want to take it to front or towards the back. You want the hair to be in the ridges, so what you do depending on the braid. This is a dutch braid, so i'm going to loosen it in the little hole right here and just bring the hair through just like, so so, depending on the length of your hair. That is missing. You can go through it once again through the braid, especially if it's the hair in the front. I bring it through once to towards the back, and i just kind of hide a little section in the back of the braid like underneath. Take the bobby pin that i pulled it through take a section of the braid and the section that we just pulled and just kind of pin it underneath the braid. That way, you can't see the section it looks like it's part of the braid and it's hidden easy fix, and this concludes this episode for today. Let me know if you guys also had some common mistakes with your bobby and how you solve them. I always want to read some more suggestions and how to make our relationship even tighter. Thank you so much for watching this video spending. Some time with me and i'll see you in the next one bye,
Comments
Linda Toolin: I was totally 'bobby pin illiterate'....seriously, you taught me how to use them correctly. I always struggled with them. So thank you for showing me the correct way!
Melanie Barrera: I just love how her husband is always in the background watching/listening to her in her videos It makes me happy
Brandi Munguia: I love that you love those curls and rock them with so much confidence. My hair is naturally like that and for my whole life I have spent so much time straightening it. I've even gone as far as shaving my head twice because I hated my curls so much. You have made me embrace my curls and given me so many out of the box ways to wear my hair especially now that it's shorter because I had to cut it to grow out the sides from having a long (to my butt) Mohawk for years. I have lupus and recently had to get a hysterectomy and one or both of those has caused my hair to fall out and thin really bad so I needed to grow it all out to add volume back. Thanks for helping me see the beauty in my curls.
Joiedevivreify: OMG! I never knew that you have to wear bobby pins with the ridged side towards my scalp. This was a really helpful video :) Thanks!
Samantha Shira: I feel like this video has changed my entire life!! I have always sucked at hiding the bobby pins but with your tips I got this!
kimberly anderson: Just started watching your videos. Love every one of them!! I'm old enough to be your mother but I have learned so much from you. Never too old to learn. Much love, Kim
Snooshies: ~ Thanks for the info, especially the brand. Nice to see that we both came up with the same solutions for some issues :) Gonna have to check around for those Metagrip - that could be the solution for my daughter 's super soft hair that nothing stays in ~ Just love your videos ~
Mandy M: I have been struggling growing out my pixie cut, my hair is fine like yours. Your tutorials have saved my sanity! You are absolutely adorable, thanks for all the easy tricks!
BotticelliB: Thanks Milana, great tips and uncovering a better use for them and what we should look out for. Love your vids :)
Ash N: Oh my, I have had the hardest time with Bobby pins! Ahhh! Thank you for this, I've been searching for a good tutorial and finally found it
Apple Jax: Love your videos! Learned so much and now I know how to hide the bobby pin!
Shaunti Connell: lmao I've done ALL of these...not just once lmao. Thanks for sharing, I loved these little tips and tricks, I'll definitely be trying these out and practicing with these techniques! ((: ❤❤
Viviane Menezes: now I know how to use a bobby pin properly thanks to you, Milana!!! thank you so much for making this video! greetings from Brazil! ;)
Megan Sowby: You should do a tutorial on how you did those curls this wearable way!!
LM B: O.M.G. Tip #4 just changed my life! Just that little turn makes all the difference! Keep the tutorials coming...you are adorable!
Patricia Sizemore: I loved this video. I have always had a hate-hate relationship with bobby pins. I learned just recently to put the ridged side down. What a difference. The latest problem I have with bobby pins is I have an awful time finding silver/grey pins. You would think with the trend of young people coloring their hair grey and older women more than ever, letting the grey naturally grow out, finding silver pins would be easy. Just last week I shopped at both Sally's Beauty and Ulta and both places told me they can't get them. Frustrating to say the least. I can't wait to try some of the other tricks you demonstrated. And I'm going to share this with my grand-daughter who keeps the bobby pin companies in business. The more pins that stay in the hair, and not on my floors, tub and just about every place else you can imagine the happier we both will be.
tany0322: you changed my life forever!!!!! I have A LOT of hair and gave up on Bobby pins years ago but I will give them a second chance thanks to you :)
Melissa Canales: I loved this. I have very fine thin hair and use Bobbi pins. these are great tips. Thank you for taking the time to share.
Norge: Milabu... YOU ARE A FREAKING GENIUS! Thank you for your super informative videos. I feel like I learned more here than I did in high school (jk)! Thank you again
Kristi Thompson: Thank you!! So many good tips. I normally don’t wear bobby pins but now I’m gonna try some cute new styles.
karmich k: Great video, Milabu! Didn't realize there was so much to know about Bobby pins! Thanks for teaching this ole dog some new tricks! :o) ♡
Freya Gem: I have always wondered why bobby pins don’t work on my poker-straight fine hair. Now I have a bunch of techniques in my arsenal to make them work! Amazing! I love your channel. You are my hair guru.
LilyOfTheTower: Milabu, you completely changed my view of bobby pins! I hate bobby pins, well, I used to hate them but now i can see their purpose. Thanks for the info! I went to beauty school and the only thing I was taught about bobby pins was to put them ridges down and NEVER open them. Psshhh... that didn't help. You need to offer a Pins 101 class! ❤ I'm going to get me some quality pins and give it another go.
Lize Muller: Thanks for this video, I've really been struggling with Bobby pins, this really helped!!!
Sachable: OMG thank you so much! I finally have life with bobby pins figured out!! great explanation!
Crystal Bartelson: This video was a huge help!! Love the curly fro. Looks more like my hair type (except mine is a lot thicker) can you make a video on a couple hairstyles with your fro sometime? ❤️
Diane Murray: I can't get over how much I have learned about bobby pins! Awesome!
Julia C: Using the correct bobby pin is definitely a must! I have ridiculously thick hair, even though it doesn't look like it. And I would have to use countless number of the medium bobby pins if I wanted to have the smallest chance of an updo lasting through at least a few hours. Then I discovered the magic of the jumbo pins! lol. But seriously, those are really big and sturdy and made for thick hair, and they hold mine up like nothing else ever has! I've never looked back! :)
kayekog: I'm really kind of excited and wanted to tell you about these new (to me) hair pins that have a flocked covering on them that really stick to your hair. I ordered them off of Amazon and they're called "Frenchies." They cost $13.95 for 20 of them; two sizes, long and short - 10 of each. I just received them today and so far, so very good. My hair is not quite shoulder length but in the summertime I absolutely have to get my hair off my neck and I think this is going to be good for that stability I need without bobby pins, which tend to slip right out of my straight hair. I also recently bought a Clipdini from Walmart and have high hopes for that little contraption. Just wanted to share this with you, my favorite and talented hair guru.
Kathleen David: There are two sizes of Bobby pins??!! Mind blown!!! This was so educating!!! I learned so much!!!! Thanks!!!!
Maud CER: Hello Milabu, I love your channel because it changed my point of view on short hair. I always thought you can't do anything with short hair, and I was desperately trying to grow mine, but it is very thin and long hair doesn't look good on me. Could you do a video on natural ingredients to add texture in your hair? About the metagrip bob pins, do you know a website which would sell them outside USA? Keep up, your channel is great!
Annabel: I probably have 5.000 Bobby pins just chillin in my house and I can never Find a single one
Margaret Tredway: I have almost the exact same hair as you!!! I love you and this helps me sooo much!!!
Rebecca F: what a coincidence this is posted today! I made mistake #1 this morning. Bought a .98 pack off bobbypins. the bobby pin twisted on me. i wiggled it back n forth not realizing it and it LITERALLY severed a chunk of my hair. guess I learned the hard way. New, better quality bobby pins next on my list.
Laugh Live Love Channel: That was good, thanks. My main struggle while using bobby pins is that the pins twist while I try to pin my hair. I`ve always had that challenge.. any tips?
Kaylin: wow! lad hack just changed my life!! Lol. I hate when I miss some hair in my braid, and I have to redo it. thanks for sharing your little secret! :)

Kika V.: I love that you say common mistake FOR ME, some tips I already knew, so to me it makes a difference. You recently became one of my fave youtubers, well because I now have short hair, little inspiration, I love your creativity. Keep it up! Little Bobby pin tip from me, or suggestion, when I want to hide my bobby pin, for example to secure a Tiny french braid, i do the same as you, only I slide my Bobby pin to the front into my braid, so the side of the pin is against your scalp and not the flat or rigged side if that makes sense, I hope it does :p. Awesome video!
Jordan Lynn: I am loving the hair. Gonna try it out myself ☺️. Also just wondering if you could do a video on how would you style the curls. Love you xx
Vee Sea: Thank you Milania (I'm sorry of I'm spelled your name incorrectly) very informative video. When I saw the title and then the duration of the video, I was like (not in a nasty way, but my interest was piqued ) "It's a Bobby pin, how much more is there to know, besides my (recently acquired) knowledge to slide it in with ridge side down" (which I only learned last year myself ). You are adorable and I love your hairstyles, videos, slight accent and André's comments . I discovered you last year during the last week of 2016 and subscribed a few days later. Please keep them gorgeous hairstyles comin'
Starla Suzanne Rutan: Can you also talk about just regular hair pins. I'm talking about the ones that are open, and don't actually clamp down on the hair. What are those used for? Also do you think the color of the bobby pins matter? I just love your channel, you have some of the best hair tips I have seen!!
CreativeAmericanLivingAbroadInNorway: Malibu I am curious about how you keep all your hair items organized? Do you use any makeup cases, assorted plastic compartment cases, etc? I decided to get "all" my hair items organized and started being creative. Thought I'd ask if you'd do a video showing your organization skills. ;-)
Emma: Oh my gosh, love this video. Thanks for the help
TheCaitlinBrooke: Question! How did you do your hair compared to the chopstick tutorial?! I'm in LOVE with it and have been wanting to rock the fro forever. Please help!
