Mini bobby pins in plated brass, 18 of them in three metallic finishes (silver tone, rose gold tone, gold tone), packed into a little corked glass canister: this is the pretty version of something you usually buy in a cardboard card. Each pin is about 2 inches long, and Knotty finishes them sleek and shiny so they can be seen as well as do their job.

  • Short pin, neat hold. At about 2 inches, they suit fine hair, bangs and small sections without poking out.
  • Three metallic tones. Mix them in one style or pick the tone that matches your other jewelry.
  • Glass canister. The corked jar keeps 18 pins together on a vanity instead of lost in a drawer.
  • Made to show. A polished pin can sit on top of the hair as a visible accent.

Mini Bobby Pins for Bangs

Standard bobby pins are built to vanish inside thick sections of hair. Mini bobby pins are for the smaller jobs: pinning back a grown out fringe, holding a twist above the ear, anchoring the ends of a braid crown. On fine hair they grip without the long tail that slips out the other side, and on kids or short cuts they stay in proportion.

Try them in pairs or threes as decoration. Two crossed pins in an X above one temple, or a row of three in different tones along a side part, is a 30 second style that looks planned.

How to Use Bobby Pins

The most common mistake is putting a bobby pin in upside down. The wavy leg goes against your scalp and the flat leg faces out; the ridges are there to grip. Open the pin only as far as you need, slide it in against the direction the hair falls, and push it home. For extra hold, add a second pin crossing the first in an X, which locks both. A light mist of hairspray on the pin before it goes in helps on very silky hair.

Plated brass looks bright, but the plating is a thin layer, so keep the pins dry and back in their jar after use and they will keep their shine.

Plated Brass Pins on the Vanity

Why are they called bobby pins? They took the name from the bob haircut of the 1920s, when short styles made a small, strong pin necessary to hold waves and curls in place.

Are mini bobby pins strong enough for an updo? They hold detail and finishing pieces well. For the heavy base of a bun or French twist, use longer standard pins underneath and these on top where they show.

What size are mini bobby pins? These measure about 2 inches. They fit neatly into the glass canister, which also makes a good spot to keep a few small earrings.
