HOW TO HIDE BOBBY PINS
CHOOSE YOUR BOBBY PIN WISELY
Our first tip for hiding bobby pins is to make sure you’re using the right ones! Bobby pins come in all different colours and sizes so when wanting to make those pins as invisible as possible, be sure to choose some in a colour similar to your hair. The size bobby pin you choose will also depend on the hairstyle you want to achieve, so if you’re working with intricate braids, it may be ideal to opt for a smaller size pin.
Another factor to consider when learning how to hide bobby pins in hair is their finish. Hair clips & accessories are available in either a matte or glossy finish. When you’re wanting to conceal those bobby pins, a matte finish will be your best option! Matte bobby pins won’t reflect & catch the light like regular bobby pins, helping to make them appear almost invisible when placed correctly.
If you can’t find any matte bobby pins or simply have enough lying around at home, you can alter their finish! Yep, that’s right. Simply spray your bobby pins with a coloured dry shampoo before applying into the hair. This is a great tip when it comes to learning how to hide bobby pins in your hair. Itl takes away the shine and help to hide them in your hair. You can also do this once the clips are applied into the hair. Yet another reason to fall in love with dry shampoo! It’s best to do this right before inserting your bobby pins so that the matte finish lasts as long as possible.
