Hairpin Types and Styles

Hairpins come in many forms. Bobby pins and U-shaped pins are everyday essentials for securing strands and shaping updos. Decorative hairpins feature pearls, crystals, flowers or metal motifs for weddings and formal styles. Hair forks and hair sticks hold buns without elastic, while claw clips and jaw clips offer quick, gentle hold for thicker hair. From small pins to bridal hair jewelry, choose the size, grip and finish that suit your hair type.

Materials and Sizes

Materials include stainless steel, brass, gold-tone, sterling silver, acetate, resin, wood, pearl and crystal. Some pins suit fine hair; others are for thick or long hair. Length matters: 2 to 3 inches suits most updos, while 4 inches or more works for thick hair. Check grip strength and finish before buying.

Styling and Care

Open a bobby pin slightly and slide it in with the wavy side down. For U-shaped pins, push the prongs into the bun and weave back. Hair forks and sticks hold buns by weaving through the hair. Decorative pins can sit along the side of the head, above the ear, or at the top of an updo. Keep metal pins dry and wipe with a soft cloth. Brass and gold-tone may tarnish; store in a dry pouch. Pearl, crystal and resin should avoid chemicals and soaking. Remove before swimming or sleeping.
