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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShort pin, neat hold.\u003c\/strong\u003e At about 2 inches, they suit fine hair, bangs and small sections without poking out.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThree metallic tones.\u003c\/strong\u003e Mix them in one style or pick the tone that matches your other jewelry.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGlass canister.\u003c\/strong\u003e The corked jar keeps 18 pins together on a vanity instead of lost in a drawer.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMade to show.\u003c\/strong\u003e A polished pin can sit on top of the hair as a visible accent.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMini Bobby Pins for Bangs\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStandard bobby pins are built to vanish inside thick sections of hair. \u003cstrong\u003eMini 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.\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTry 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to Use Bobby Pins\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe most common mistake is putting a bobby pin in upside down. \u003cstrong\u003eThe wavy leg goes against your scalp and the flat leg faces out\u003c\/strong\u003e; 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlated 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePlated Brass Pins on the Vanity\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy are they called bobby pins?\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAre mini bobby pins strong enough for an updo?\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat size are mini bobby pins?\u003c\/strong\u003e These measure about 2 inches.
