Almost any girl always has various hair clips - special beautiful devices that help create hairstyles or with which you can remove hair from your face. Previously, almost all hairpins were monotonous, now on store shelves you can see a huge variety of hairpins with completely different designs.
Hairpins
It would seem that such a small detail as a hair clip cannot be of such great importance for a woman, but in fact it is not. There are incredibly many types of hairpins, because it is thanks to them that you can create beautiful interesting hairstyles, make complex styling. Sometimes, even the simplest hairstyle, with the right hairpin, can be turned into a real work of art.
As for the material, it can be absolutely anything, although earlier hairpins were mainly made of metal or wood. And now you can find hairpins made of plastic, and even gold or silver.
Heagami hairpins
Heagami hair clips were invented back in 1999 by a woman, Barbara Kerry. As soon as they appeared, all TV stores became literally strewn with applications from ladies who claimed that they needed these hairpins. Why did they like fashionistas so much? Everything is simple! After all, they were positioned as the easiest way to create an amazing hairstyle at home and without any special tools.
Heagami differs in appearance from the usual hairpins, so it is considered special. In fact, this is an ordinary metal strip, which is very plastic and is also covered with fabric. It is very easy to twist into a ring, which is why it is believed that doing hairstyles with it is very easy. The bun on the hair really turns out to be very neat, although it should be noted that not everyone managed to cope with the Heags. In addition, with the demand for them, new types of Hegami have appeared, thanks to which hairstyles using them have become even more diverse.
hair crab
The crab hairpin looks like a combination of two scallops of the same shape and size, with teeth inside, thanks to which they hold the hair tightly. The simple mechanism that holds the two halves of the crab together makes it easy to place the crab on the hair, and is also easy to remove. In addition to easy and quick fixation of hair, crabs practically do not injure hair.
Crabs come in various sizes: from very small to large, respectively, with the help of them you can make absolutely various hairstyles. Small crabs can fix individual strands, large ones are suitable for completely removing hair. In addition, the ponytail hairstyle made using this type of hairpin looks very impressive.
There are side crab hairpins, also those that are banana-shaped, stepped, and also made of completely different materials and with completely different decor. The crab may not be noticeable at all, or a bright decoration may be placed on it, which will draw attention to its owner.
Hairpins such as combs have been popular for a very long time, even in old folk tales this decoration is often mentioned. The comb is an elongated plate, which has long teeth, thanks to which it can stay in the hair. Previously, such hair ornaments were mainly made either from wood or ivory, they were very durable, and looked incredibly beautiful. Now combs are made of absolutely any material, even gold.
Ideally, this jewelry is suitable for creating an asymmetrical hairstyle, which by the way is very fashionable now. In addition, a beautifully decorated comb can decorate a wedding or evening hairstyle. Even a veil is very often attached to the hair with the help of a comb.
Hairpins
Hairpins can also be used to create a huge number of hairstyles, they are designed to collect and hold hair in one place. In their appearance, hairpins are somewhat reminiscent of needles. They are very durable and allow the hairdo not to fall apart.
There are ordinary metal hairpins, which are very convenient to fix strands of hair, while such hairpins will be almost invisible. They are often used by women who participate in various sports competitions, where the hair must be put in a hairstyle without fail and keep well there.
There are decorated hairpins on which you can see small flowers, stylized tips, or rhinestones. These can rightly be considered an elegant decoration of any hairstyle. Very often they are used when styling the hair of the bride.
Hair clips
From the name of this type of hairpins, it can be seen that the essence of their use is that they pinch the hair and thereby hold on to them. These barrettes look like two flat halves, made of metal or plastic, for example, that fit very tightly together.
Clamps are very convenient and easy to use. Very often, such hairpins are used by hairdressers, for example, in the process of cutting a client's hair or in the process of dyeing hair.
However, there are also beautiful clips, for example, with rhinestones and other decorative elements. These are used to decorate hairstyles. It is very convenient to pin the bangs with clamps, the fixation will turn out to be as strong as possible and the bangs will not interfere with the whole.
Banana hairpin
Such hair clips were very popular in the nineties, almost all women of fashion did their hair with the help of them. However, fashion always comes back, so even now banana hairpins are actively used.
In fact, this is a double comb, which is attached to the hair like a pin. With the help of such a hairpin, you can create many original hairstyles and constantly experiment.
Banana hair clips can be quite inconspicuous, for example, black or brown, or they can be very beautifully decorated and conversely catch the eye.
Automatic hairpins have a very convenient mechanism that allows them to hold securely on the hair, so they are great for thick hair, on which all other hairpins are held rather poorly.
As a rule, such hairpins are used to braid tails, both high and low, or to fix part of the hair. There are, of course, automatic hairpins on which there is absolutely no decor, but most often there is still a decor, since such an accessory is used to decorate a hairstyle. Hairpins can have bows, rhinestones, flowers, ribbons, etc.
Ribbon hairpins
Such hairpins are rather a decoration for a hairstyle, and a very effective means of fixing it. Beautiful flowers are most often made from satin ribbons, these usually adorn the hair of Japanese ladies and are called kanzashi.
Ribbons always look very interesting and gentle, they are perfect for creating a light and romantic look. Such a hairpin can be attached simply to loose hair, and the appearance of the girl will already be completely different.
Hairpins of invisibility
Invisible hair clips are very similar in nature to clips, but at the same time they are much thinner and stronger. They are usually used to discreetly fix the strands that have come out of the hairstyle. Dark invisibility will be almost invisible on brunettes, but will help to ensure that the hairstyle looks neat.
Now more and more often you can see very noticeable invisibles, for example, colored ones. Girls no longer hide these hair clips and are increasingly using them to create fashionable hairstyles.
Invisibles and hairpins are almost always the main components of the original styling. You will see one of the options for a solemn hairstyle with their use in the video below.
Exotic lovers should definitely try using Chinese sticks to create hairstyles. They are very similar to those usually served in Chinese and Japanese food restaurants.
From the outside it may seem that with the help of such an accessory it is impossible to quickly make a hairstyle that will hold well, but this is a delusion. In China, women only use these chopsticks. It is enough just to adapt and it will be possible in a few seconds to collect hair in a strong bun that will not fall apart during the day.
Hair band
Headbands used to be used mainly by those girls who had bangs, since with the help of this accessory it was easy to remove it and give your face a completely different look. Headbands for hair are both thin and very wide. The latter look great on long hair, which is pre-combed at the roots, the so-called retro hairstyle is obtained.
Now headbands are used not only to remove bangs from the face, but simply to decorate loose hair, especially since headbands can be completely different colors and have a noticeable decor on them.
How to choose a hairpin for your hair?
Hairpins, like any other accessories, must be selected in accordance with the type of your hair, as well as with your other data.
So, for example, hair density is of great importance in choosing a hairpin. As a rule, crabs do not hold thick hair well, so if the hairstyle needs to be strong, you should not use them. Best of all for thick hair, hairpins-machines are suitable, which will allow the hairstyle to remain neat throughout the day.
But for those whom nature has not awarded with thick hair, it is quite possible to use clamps, as they can easily cope with this type of hair.
Crabs are well suited for girls with long hair, as they simply won’t be able to keep short ones, but invisible ones can also be used by owners of short and even so-called “boy-like” haircuts.
The headband is more suitable for women with an oval face shape and pronounced cheekbones, but chubby young ladies should refuse headbands.
Banana hair clips are again designed for those who have medium-length and very long hair, but at the same time, the hair should not be too thick, otherwise the banana simply cannot cope with it.
Hairpins will hold only long hair, and in principle they are not needed for short ones, since there is no need to collect them.
In addition, the choice of hairpins depends on the event for which the lady is going. So, for example, a comb decorated with rhinestones is an ideal choice for going out in an evening dress. And catchy multi-colored crabs can be completely used to create a disco look.
Banana hairpins and clips are good for everyday looks, however, as are invisible ones.
Hairpins will help in creating a complex hairstyle.

Since ancient times, hairpins have served to secure individual elements of the hairstyle and its decoration. Today it is one of the most popular hair accessories. Hairpins are decorated with rhinestones, beads, fabric, ceramic, plastic jewelry.
Hairpins are straight and wavy. The former are used for temporary fixation of the hair, and the latter for the final design of the hairstyle.

The pins also vary in size. It is considered the 45th size. These are small hairpins, suitable for fixing individual small strands. To hold larger hair pieces, larger hairpins are needed.
Wooden and metal hairpins
Studs are made of metal or wood. Metal hairpins hold hair more securely than wooden ones. However, with prolonged contact with the hair, the metal oxidizes, the hair becomes thin, dull, brittle. The sharp ends of metal hairpins are also dangerous: if handled carelessly, they can injure the scalp. To minimize the risk, use only well-ground studs with rounded ends.
Wooden hairpins are safer than metal ones, but they don't hold hair well. They can only be used to fix small thin strands. For pinning hair, the hairpin is inserted in such a way that it rests on the scalp with the flat side.

You can decorate the studs yourself. The easiest way is to put beads on the studs. Take a few hairpins and beads with large holes. Slowly and carefully unbend the hairpin and thread one or more beads onto it. Then quickly, in one motion, bend the hairpin back.

Decorative metal hairpins have a glossy surface that glides through the hair. To keep such accessories more secure, before inserting the hairpin into the hair, its base must be sprinkled with varnish.

Depending on whether the hairstyle is supposed to be everyday or it should decorate the woman’s head for a celebration, hairpins of a suitable size and shape are selected. At the same time, it is important to observe the general style, which, in fact, determines the choice of hair clips.
What are studs and what are they for?
By definition, a hairpin is a small piece of bent wire or a plate rounded at the ends.It serves for:
- fastening in different positions of large and small strands of hair;
- decorating hairstyles - then hairpins decorated with beads, fabric and plastic flowers, rhinestones, ceramic elements are used.
Hairpins allow you to quickly and conveniently fix the curls and almost instantly disassemble the hairstyle, simply by removing them.
Using inconspicuous or bright clips, you can create hairstyles in different styles:
- wedding;
- holiday;
- romantic;
- business;
- exotic.
How to use them?
In order for the hairstyle to last for a long time, the hairpins are inserted into the hair at an angle of 90 degrees, to the end. Their "heads" should not protrude above the hair, unless this is a design idea. The fixing will be reliable if the hair is clean and dry.In order for the hairpins not to cause discomfort and, at the same time, to securely fasten the hair, you need to know the rules for their use.
They are as follows:
- when buying, you need to choose hairpins with rounded tips or ending with balls - sharp ends can injure the scalp;
- for long hair, at least two long hairpins are needed, it is better if their ends are spiral;
- it is important to fasten the accessory closer and tighter to the head;
- small fastenings of the 45th size are suitable for a short hairstyle;
- do not forget that metal products are harmful for everyday wear, so it is better to purchase studs made of wood, plastic or ceramics;
- correct application involves the introduction of a bartack in the direction of the roots and only then turning at a right angle - this will help avoid damage to the skin.
Criterias of choice
Hair products can vary in size - they are from 4 to 7 cm long, the smallest ones are usually used for short hair. The shape, the material from which they are made, the elements decorating them can be excellent.Main hairpin materials:
- Metal. These are the most durable products that are durable, accessories with serrated legs are especially effective for fixing hair. Of the minuses, one can single out sharp tips and smoothness, due to which they glide, as a result of which the hairstyle also blooms. In addition, oxide can appear on the metal, which leads to brittleness and thinning of the hair.
- Plastic. These hairpins are beautiful, they are decorated with patterns, geometric patterns, floral motifs. In this regard, they can be perfectly matched to the color of the hair. However, they are distinguished by weak fixation on the hair and fragility.
- Wood. It's always better than metal, wooden clips are safe, look original and original, but they are also extremely weak in holding hair.
The usual hairpin resembles a bent bracket, but today there are other forms of the product, for example:
- Wavy hairpins with round bulges on the legs - they are suitable for hard, thick, as well as long hair, fixing various types of braids. For fair-haired ladies, you can pick up accessories for bronze, black hairpins are relevant if you need an inconspicuous fixation on dark hair.
- An interesting modern version is a hairpin in the form of the letter W. This is a universal product that can securely fix the strands and make the hairstyle more voluminous.
- There are also other forms that differ in thickness, voluminous and flat, jagged, which, as a rule, fix the basis of the future hairstyle and straight lines, used when fixing the temporal strands.
If temporary fixation is needed, then you can use direct clips; for long-term fixation, it is better to choose wavy types of hairpins, which are necessary for the final stage of creating a hairstyle.
Matched to the color of the strands, hairpins make the hairstyle more strict and natural. For heavy thick curls, spiral hairpins are used, they should be screwed in, starting from the ends. Such products have a strong fixation and are not subject to extension even with a large mass of hair.
When choosing studs, do not forget about their quality - it is important that the decorations on them hold firmly and the paint does not peel off. The best hair clips have spiral and grooved ends. Sometimes it makes sense to purchase a ready-made set of such products of various sizes and shapes.
Hairstyles based on hairpins

To do this, make a tail, twist it in the form of a tourniquet, starting from the ends of the hair.

Quite by accident I came across the women's site ProdMake.ru, where there is a lot of interesting information. I also decided to do my bit: to acquaint you with some models of elegant hairstyles. Why not? I have experience, because I have two adult daughters with gorgeous hair, my granddaughter is growing up - a princess. Are there many solemn occasions in life when it is simply necessary to look stylish and elegant? It is in order not to goof off, you need to be able to build such a hairstyle, simply put, as if you had just visited a beauty salon!
One of my friends, a week before the last call of her only daughter, tested all the hairdressers she knew, although she did her hair quite well at home. But here I decided to trust only professionals. So, having raised her family at the crack of dawn, she rushed with her daughter to the neighboring regional center, and threw out a lot of money for her hair. As a result, she stood on the line with tears in her eyes, radically disappointed in all the local stylists, and vowed never to trust anyone with her only one again. “I would have made such a fable myself for free!”
So, if you are interested, I will share some useful tips on how to beautifully pin your hair with hairpins to create a work of art from ordinary hair.
Something interesting about stilettos and hairstyles with them
By the way, about studs. It turns out that hairpins were pinned up in Egypt and Assyria. Only noble ladies used these original hair styling devices, because then they were made of precious metals in the form of a parabola with smooth ends. I suppose how beautiful it is to stab hair with hairpins, rich getters knew very well. After all, they perfectly mastered the art of seduction!
Nowadays, in addition to ordinary hairpins for fixing hair, decorative hairpins are made of wire, stone, plastic, wood. They produce hairpins light and dark (for blondes and brunettes), hard - for heavy hair, and thin - to maintain curls, plaits, curls. Their color scheme is very diverse, because they not only fix and strengthen hairstyles, but, on special occasions, decorate them in every possible way.
So, a chic stylish hairstyle can be created not only from thick and long hair, but also medium-length hair and even haircuts. You just need to have at least a little taste and an elementary set of tools at hand: a hair dryer with a diffuser, combs, a curling iron or styling tongs, hairspray and all kinds of accessories for decorating hairstyles - hairpins, crabs, hair ties, ordinary or decorative hairpins, invisible. And, in order to beautifully stab your hair with hairpins, you can use hairpins with bright decorative tips in the form of roses, hearts, pearls.

You can simply pin up your hair with a few hairpins at the back of your head to beautifully group curled curls.
I want to note that you need to work with studs very carefully, because their ends are pointed and injury to them is not excluded. In addition, when choosing them, you need to choose studs without burrs and other defects, so as not to get hurt.
So, in order to fix a curl or strand of hair in the required position, you must carefully insert the tips of the hairpins into the base of this curl, then slightly turn the hairpin to the right or left and insert the hairpin all the way into the bulk of the hair. If this hairstyle needs to be decorated with decorative hairpins, then they need to be arranged in a circle, or in an oval, or in the form of a flower. And if such hairpins are not provided for by the hairstyle model, then, using ordinary ones, they need to be fixed imperceptibly to the eye. This means that the emphasis of the hairstyle will be on something else.
Several options for hairstyles from hair of different lengths:
From short you can also create a masterpiece of hair: carefully tousling your hair up, they need to be varnished stronger. Then, dividing into separate strands, fix with hairpins (can be decorative). Twist the ends of the strands. Today with such a hairstyle you will be the most fashionable!
If you have hair middle length, then from them you can build a hairstyle a la Galatea. You must first wind the hair on curlers. Then, removing the curlers, tilt your head down, and gently comb these curls in a semicircle at the back of the head. Beautifully pin your hair with hairpins and carefully fix them with varnish.
Another hairstyle option long hair: Gather hair into an elastic band at the back of the head. From the tail, you can weave one, two or more braids and lay them around in any order, correctly pinning the hair with hairpins.
Now you know, how to pin up hair with hairpins. In conclusion, I want to give one piece of advice: do not be afraid to create, do not limit yourself to any limits, improve in everything and remember - beauty will save the world!!!
