Everyone Kayley here and today I wan na - go over some bobby pin basics. A lot of you guys have been asking for a video on just how to use bobby pins.. So I thought I'd show you guys some basic tips and tricks, but if you're interested in learning more tell me in the comments, because I'm thinking about making this a series. I'd love to give you guys like really in depth videos on this. So if you want it, let me know., But today let's go over some of the basic things that you need to know to use your bobby pins. The right way. Tip number one is to start with a good bobby pin.. Now you can get all the right techniques and everything going, but if you're working with a flimsy bobby pin it still might not stay in place.. So you have to pick a good one.. So here's what to look for when you're looking for a good, bobby, pin., Spooler alert, I love the MetaGrip Premium Bob Pins from Sally's Beauty. These are some of the best. And what I like about them first of all, is that they have a very tight grip.. It'S actually a little bit difficult to pull them apart., Which is good ,'cause. That means these two guys are holding on really tight, so they're gon na be holding your hair together, really tight once they're in there. Next, I think it's good to look for, like beveled edges around the sides of the bobby pin, because that just means that there's A little bit more quality and thought put into it. And third, you wanna make sure that these tips are well coated and a little coating. I not coming off because it hurts like crazy if there's not anything, covering the sharp corners on these bobby pins.. So if you have those three components, you are well on your way to bobby pinning really well. Alright tip number two is that you can't put a ton of hair into one bobby pin.. This is not Superman or Wonder, Woman or anything. It can't lift crazy heavy stuff.. Actually, the opening of a bobby pin is the amount of hair you're supposed to put in you're not supposed to actually open it up to put it in. You're just supposed to put in this little bit. And that can seem very counter intuitive. But when you actually just use that much it becomes a lot more effective.. That being said, I will often open up my bobby pins about half an inch and use that, but I won't use any more than that because at that point, you're compromising what the bobby pin can do for you. Tip number three. If you have thick hair use a jumbo bobby pin or a roller pin. Same thing, different name., They are much bigger than their bobby pin counterparts and they can hold so much more.. If you guys watched my 100 layers of hair extensions challenge, I put five pounds of hair into a bun using only seven of these, which I think is a big deal. And it actually held really secure at the time too.. So if it can do that, it can hold dup, your half updo you'll be fine.. I really recommend these. If you have trouble with bobby pinning, if you have thick hair they're a must., Okay, we're gettin' serious., I've got a braid and I'm actually gon na show. You guys in the next three tips how to put bobby pins in. So tip. Number four is that you want to make sure you're not just grazing the surface.. I see that a lot with people where they kinda just go across the very top layer of the hair and they don't ever actually get all the way down.. Alright. So right now I have it just over the surface and you can tell it's just over the surface'cause. I can pick it up like this. And then, if I shake my head really hard, it's gon na come out. Super easily. See it's all gone.. Instead, you want to actually feel that bobby pin straight against your head, as you go., So I'm gon na do that little half inch opening thing and then I'm gon na take the bumpy side down and I'm going to scrape that against my head. As the top goes over the piece that I'm pinning and I'm gon na keep pushing I'm gon na keep feeling that bobby, pin against my head and now it's in place.. And now. If I try to lift that section, it's not coming up because it's literally attached to my roots. And there you go, that is even with shaking it. It all stays in place because you get all the way down and you get all the layers instead of just a couple. Working for you. Tip number five is to pin the bobby pin in the direction you want it to go.. Now that sounds kind of like yeah duh, but let me show you what I mean.. If you pin with the bobby, pin directly parallel to your head, it's gon na go in and sit just like so.. This way is really good for securing sections in place.. I call it like structure work like you're, actually making the structure of the hairstyle. And that's a really great common way to do it.. But then something that I see people do, especially when they pin behind their head, is that they pin out at an angle away from their head.. So they'll go out like this, and the bobby pin is actually only attached in the front part and the back is sticking out and it's not doing anything.. That'S really easy to do behind your head, because the angle is already working in that direction.. So you wan na fight that natural urge., But the other way that you could position it is going in towards your head, which is a great way to hide bobby pins.. So you go in at this 45 degree angle and then you push and it's gon na. Actually bury itself like it's diving under the surface of your hair., And then you have it nicely, pinned back and you're, not necessarily gon na see all of the bobby pin., So basically pinning in the direction that you want it to go means either pinned parallel to Your hair in in diagonally towards your hair, whether you want the bobby pin to be visible or invisible. Alright and then tip number six, is to lock it down.. Now this is a way of putting in the bobby pin that will really hold things in place.. First, you're gon na make a little circle right next to where you wan na, pin it., And this kinda anchors the bobby pin into the hair.. So I'm gon na make three little circles, one two three and then you're gon na put the bobby pin into the hair that you're trying to pin.. In this case, it's the twist. And then step number three of this little scenario is to totally flip the bobby pin the other direction., So you rotate it 180 degrees and then push it into the hair., And once you do that this thing is locked down.. This thing feels so secure right now it's not going anywhere, and I actually did this on bun for a workout class recently.. I only had to use two bobby pins and the bun didn't move the entire class.. So this definitely works. If you have thick hair, you have to try it out.. If you have to hold your hair in place for a long time, try it out it really works. And there you go.. There are some basic tips and tricks on how to work bobby pins in your favor.. I hope you guys learned something new. If you wan na see more bobby pin videos.

Alejandro: As a single dad to a beautiful little 7 year old girl, thank you. Finding the basics clearly described is actually harder than it sounds.
Monica Krump: Loved this tutorial! I would love to see more on securing buns with bobby pins and such. I've always had a hard time putting buns in my hair...even the simplest kind. I have very thick hair (and it's quite long) and when I do finally succeed in putting up a bun, it doesn't feel very secure and it feels like I have 10 pounds on my head.
Burnley Jeniffer: The only thing missing from this video is how not to lose all of these damned things. I swear I had like 100 at the beginning of this month and now I have 2. Just 2 left.
Ana Najera: Yes more Bobby pin videos please especially for thick hair girls
It's Sarah: I never knew there was so much to learn about a bobby pin. Thanks! ☺️

Ghada Alshammari: Great video Kayley thank you so much. and yes we really like it please make a series we want more videos like this
Thea Precht: Thanks for the video :) For some updos I also find it helpful to hairspray the bobby pins before using them, to add a bit more grip. Especially when my hair is freshly washed (because I'm going out) and very slippery.
maddy berry: I LOVE LOVE LOVE how often you've been posting girl. You're a star and by far the most helpful hair youtuber out there ❤️❤️❤️
Sarah Freeland: This videos was fantastic. I loved how you showed how to pin them in your hair. That is the part I always struggled with. And the jumbo Bobby pin is a good idea for my long thick hair. Thanks for being my go to hair tutorial youtuber!!
JJ P: Thanks, this was amazing! I'd love to see in detail how to wrap a piece of hair covering a ponytail holder and pinning in place - I'm always left with too many pins and the hair sticking straight out, lol
Mel F: Yes! Definitely more tips! So glad you did this! In many videos when you're like "and just pin it in place" I think to myself 'yeah, but like HOW?!' =) thanks for so many amazing tutorials!
Lacy Silver-Wolf: More bobby pin vids, please! I use them all the time to keep my hair up and away when it's too hot and I'd love new ways to style them!

ReadyMadeBouquet: I'd love a video on the best way(s) to pin French twists! I feel like a generally competent bobby pin user, but am always dissatisfied with the pin outcome for that style. (Also, I believe 'hair grips' is British English term!)
LipglossAndLemonade: You're amazing at explaining hair tips! Love your videos so much :)
Emily Dry: Amazing! Yes please, more tips! Especially for silky hair. Here in the UK we call them "Kirby grips" -no idea why! So hair grips is definitely a more common term than bobby pins

Claralaraballerinabear: Omg yas more videos like this! The hair nerd in me is always so happy with how detailed you get about the little things

Jill Schmidt: Yes Kayley I need a full series of using bobby pins. Especially with a bun and using no elastic.
theteresadomingos: Love you and your videos! Been watching since you first started. I have seen, and tried, your OG tips with little to no success . I agree with some of the other ladies saying they'd like to see more bobby pin tips and tricks along with how to effectively use them in various hairstyles. One last thing: you say that the bumps on the bobby pins show better quality and that they help to hold your hair better, but the large one you held up was smooth? Plus, any time I have looked for large bobby pins, they've always been smooth–even in the beauty supply stores. Are there any bumpy large bobby pins?
Gina L: id love tips on pinning buns. how to keep it big and fluffy but secure
Derrick Jennifer Watkins: Love these kind of instructional videos. Yes, more, please!
Laneya Davenport: That was so helpful! More bobby pin videos please :)

Looloos Hair: Such a helpful video!!! Love your tips. You inspired me to start my hair channel. Love you Kayley
Caitlin Tagle: Thank you sooo much for this video!!! I know it always seems like it's supposed to be common knowledge to know how to pin your hair, but tutorials never actually show you how to properly use bobby pins to hold thick hair in place. Because of this, my hair always felt insecure when I tried pinning it. I kind of had to learn by trial and error, but thanks to your video I can actually get my hair to stay in place! Please make more videos like this!
Chantol Phillips: The lock it down tip is my fave. Works every time !

myozbubble: I learned some new tips on using the simple bobby pin!! Thanks, this info is really useful. :)
Lisa Kundla: More bobby pin videos please. Especially for pinning a bun and French twist. Mine never stay secure.
Alexis McCormick: I've always had a very difficult time with bobby pins, especially trying to pin hair around an elastic or trying to hold up an updo. I've only successfully held up an updo with Goody spin pins, and I've never been able to pin hair around an elastic. It's very frustrating because all the tutorials ever say is "secure with bobby pins!"
Lianna Trujillo: Please, please, please another video! This helps in so many ways! I could use this everyday!

Sarah White: I've been using those bobby pins for years!! I love them! Can't use any other kind.
vgamer456: My hair is just barely past my shoulders, and I wanted to do something different with it, like doing a 2-strand braid and pinning it against my head, but I've never used bobby pins myself before, and this was very helpful.
Steph Olsen: I have very thick hair and would love to see more ways to use Bobby pins other than holding a small braid or a bun in place. Thanks!!
Rissa_7: So helpful! Thank you x
MissMargaret: I just want to let you know that this video was a game changer for me. I can now put a bun in with two bobby pins, and no one can see them. The little bit of hair and scraping the scalp tips were key.
Olivia Rix: More Bobby pin videos would be great! I have trouble with them staying in and not messing up my hair style.
Christine Salomon: And here I thought I only had one question, which was about which side of the pin goes closer to your head....I had no idea about that little "3 circles and reverse" trick to secure your hair! Thank you for taking the time to make a tutorial on this, bravo!
Mareli Ferreira: YES! please do more videos like this! I have super thick, very long hair so I need all the help i can get lol

Elisa González Larequi: Loved it! So many tips I've never heard. Thank you!

Namyi: Yess more bobby pin tricks! Maybe for really fine silky hair? c:
Susan S: THIS WAS SOOO HELPFUL! I've never even heard of these life hacks! ^^

Anna Rose: Please do a video for a really really REALLY easy milkmaid hairstyle, especially for thick and frizzy hair, and especially how to use clips or bobby pins for hairstyle
brillantdumatin: i would love to know how exactly to pin down a bun, especially with thick hair! Thank you!
Bobbie: *TIP #4 (CONFUSING)* You mentioned only putting a tiny amount of hair in the bobby-pin, but if you go down to your scalp, then you're picking up more hair, right? ♥️ LOVE this video btw!
Olja Saarma: I would definetely like to see more videos regarding bobbypin. thank you for making this one.
JackOllie4: YES! More bobby pin tips please! Thank you!
Emma Kjellberg: Could you do a video on bobby pinning buns? That would be super helpful, thanks!

Krysta F: Show us how you did the bun with two bobby pins!
Sandy Allred: Thank you! Bobbi-pin usage has always escaped me, but this definitely made the lightbulb come on! Thanks! <3
karl jung: Thank you for the video!! I've been waiting for this one~! Super useful
viviana aguirre: This is super helpful. Could you make a video for work inspired hair tutorials. I'm in the military and have long hair and I find the same hairstyle super boring. If you need a reference for regulations look up AR 6 70-1 the rules are there's but they're a always loop holes. For example I sometimes to switch things up put in a regular braid to the side. So if you could think of any ideas that would be super awesome. Long time fan SPC Aguirre US ARMY. Hoah!!

Emily Clinton: I need more advice on hiding the bobby pins please as I am a beginner! BTW I love your tutorials ❤
Emma O’D: When you have to wash your hair but the Queen Of Hair uploads......
