Synopsis: It's amazing all the things a tiny piece of metal can do!
 I was sitting in a lounge after a fashion show with a fabulous dreadlock updo, but was ready to let my hair down for the night. The girl next to me asked, “How many in your hair? I had TWENTY FIVE!” I giggled knowing exactly what she was talking about and we started taking bets. 30, 35, 50, 65. I started pulling out the bobby pins one by one. Since most of the pins were hidden within my massive layers of dreads, my arms were dying in the removal process! Slowly but surely my bobby pin pile grew. After removing twenty, the updo was STILL mostly intact. By the time I reached the final pin, the final number was 46 (48 if you count the 2 that I found over the next few days still buried in my hair). After any occasion that requires these tiny bits of bent metal, I’m always in awe of how much they can accomplish.
They are the perfect accessory for a quick change or a full style. Turn your head into a canvas and pin away! With so many colors and sizes to choose from, you can hide the pins out of sight or make a rainbow statement! Changing your day look to a night time style? Just pop a few in your purse for later! They take up teensy amounts of space and yield quick transformations.
No matter what style I am rocking in a moment, I can use bobby pins to transform it in the next. What other accessory lets you convert your style with such simplicity? Create the ultimate updo, half-do, pin-backs, fans, twists or vintage pin-curls. Whether your hair is straight, curly, or even dreadlocked like mine, bobby pins will give you a styling bang for your buck!
