Bobby pins might seem like an ordinary hair accessory, but they can actually add a sophisticated flair to your style. From getting bangs out of the face or adding flair to ponytails – these convenient pins can make all the difference in your appearance!
Try these bobby pin hairstyles with short haircuts for a stunning appearance.
Asymmetrical Side Braids
Bobby pins make great additions to asymmetrical short hairstyles because you can use them to tighten one side while leaving the other free-flowing with texture. To achieve this look, comb back a small section of your hair down before pinching with your fingers to free your right hand up for reaching across with the bobby pin. Add visual emphasis by stacking or crossing your nails together, or create an updo quickly pull back and show off ears and face features by crossing them crisscrossed. This works excellently as a casual updo that you can promptly undo to show off your ears and face features. Pin your strands up into a trendy half-bun to add texture and a feminine finish. Remember to use plenty of hairspray if you don’t want your short locks too full or messy!
French Twist
For an elegant and polished look, the classic French twist updo may be needed to complete the look. Ideal for special events and parties alike, this chic updo looks beautiful worn with formal dresses or skirts – making it the perfect hairstyle choice!
To replicate Jasmine Tookes’s super-sleek style, begin by blow-drying and flat ironing your hair for an ideal foundation. Next, create a deep side part and French twist tight at the nape before pulling out several face-framing pieces to tease out and tease to add height at the crown. Once your twist concludes, secure it using bobby pins that match your hair color for optimal blending. When inserting them, push the rounded end and then the split tip into place to prevent slippage and your twist from unraveling prematurely. Add extra hold and polish off the look by spraying a light coat of hairspray over the updo. This will keep your bobby pins secure while clearing any loose strands caught in your twist.
Half-Up Bun
This half-up ponytail is stylish and straightforward, making it your new go-to style. Plus, it allows you to accessorize with bows or flower crowns!
Everett recommends this look for any special event, from patio lunch with friends to formal galas and ballroom dances. He advises using texturizing spray to smooth your hairline and add some volume to create a more polished appearance. Start by parting your hair into two equal sections and clipping off any loose lower portions, then gather the top half into a loose ponytail with twists around itself to secure it with a hair tie. To conceal the elastic, coil its excess length around the base of your bun before using bobby pins to ensure any stray strands, and finish off your look with some hairspray! For an added sexiness factor, add cornrows for a half-up bun look!
Side Ponytail
There are various ways to elevate a side ponytail, from messy to intricate styles. Take it one step further by backcombing your crown or adding loose tendrils pinned against the ponytail; adding loose tendrils also works well and gives off that popular “done yet undone” vibe. A wavy side ponytail works incredibly well and exudes the undone elegance so fashionable right now.
