7 Amazing Hairstyles To Do Using Hairpins

Hairpins are women's best allies in sustaining hair. Because they are discreet and sturdy, most hairstyles need their help to resist all night long.

According to hairstylist Wagner Nascimento of the Mondek Coiffeur salon, "the hairpin's advantage is its simple way of fixing hair." Also, they are less aggressive to hair like elastics and some barrettes.

There are hairstyles that are completely developed with hairpins, and usually they are hidden and inconspicuous. But nowadays, we see hairstyles that use them as a finish to adorn the look.


According to the professional, those used as a visible finish are not the staples we often use in salons, as there are external surface staples of different colors and shapes that are practically hair accessories.

Tips for Staple Use

Not to miss the hairstyle, here are tips to make it easier to use the little ones and make the result even better:

  1. Do not limit yourself to using clips of the color indicated for your hair. "Sometimes a golden hairpin in blond hair is more apparent than a darker hairpin," says Wagner.
  2. Use the staples you have with the wax on the ends very firmly. This prevents scratches on the scalp and allows the piece to be more comfortable on the head.
  3. The correct way to use the staples is with the curl part down, while the straight part is out. Application and adhesion are much easier this way.
  4. Choose the ideal clip size based on your hair type. "Bigger hairpins are ideal for those with the most hair, and smaller ones for thinner, thinner hair," suggests the professional.
