Sophisticated jewelry for the head in the form of hairpins are indispensable accessories for creating a unique image. Every owner of long braids should have at least 10 of them of different shapes. They allow you to make a bundle, bouclé, waves or a high shell. Next, we will take a detailed look at the types of hair accessories and tell you how to use them correctly.

What are hair accessories?

All women’s hairpins are divided into decorative jewelry and functional invisible hairpins.

Functional invisibles are suitable for fixing both complex hairstyles and individual strands.

• clamps. You can’t do without them when you need to close the bangs and remove protruding hairs;

• spiral pins they fix heavy curls well;

• twister consists of wire, foam and fabric. It helps to create bunches and waves. They make different types of jewelry for hair-twisters. The sophist twist is distinguished by holes at the ends and a fastener. French twist — a metal frame where strands are twisted and fixed with hairpins;

• heagami allows you to create an exquisite hairstyle — a shell, a bun or any other hairstyles with hair ornaments — in a matter of minutes. Curls are stretched and rotated around two plates;

• bump — special pins-rims for increasing the volume of hair without combing on the crown. Two intertwined bandages on the head raise and fix the hair;

• Donat — a soft disc that is pulled onto the tail to create a graceful bun. It is produced in three color variants — brown, light beige and black to match the color of the hair.

Decorative hairpins allow you to complete any hairstyle — from casual to formal:

• combs — accessories for long hair (photo) with a history of use dating back several decades. They allow you to securely fasten individual strands. Plates with teeth of different sizes and shapes are decorated with stones, flowers, rhinestones and other decorative elements that turn the comb into the main accent of the hairstyle;

• Montaru — accessories in the form of combs for long hair. They consist of 2 plates with teeth connected by plastic spirals or rubber bands. All hair is fixed with one comb, accent strands with another;

• crabs — one of the most convenient accessories for long hair for a bun, tail or shell. Such pins are made in various shapes and sizes. They consist of two toothed parts connected by a spring. Convenient for daily wear, taking water procedures, sports;

• banana — a type of crab that has the characteristic shape of this fruit and curved ends;

• hairpin machine — the most common type of decorative pins, characterized by ease of use and variety of decor.

How to decorate hair with hairpins so that the hairstyle lasts a long time

In order for the twister to firmly fix the styling, the length of the hair should be at least as long as the shoulder blades. On shorter and thinner strands, these beautiful hair ornaments do not hold well. It will be difficult if the curls are cut with a ladder or a cascade, that is, they have different lengths and it is very difficult to put them in one bundle. So that they do not get out of the hairstyle, you need to pin them with clips or invisible ones.

Sophist Twist is convenient in that its ears can be twisted or tied after the hairstyle is ready, which ensures a more reliable fixation.

The French twister has a tapered mesh tube design. It helps to create an elegant shell and securely fasten it with or without pins.

Hair accessories called heagami originate from the Land of the Rising Sun. It is no coincidence that their name is similar to the word «origami». Strands, like paper, are folded into some structure — a bundle, a roll, a shell — with the help of two metal plates with a light elastic effect. They are covered with fabric, so they do not come into direct contact with the hair. They make variants of heagami of all shapes and colors. Fur or lace models are used in special cases.

Heagami, unlike bumpits, does not add volume to the stacking. However, with the help of this device, you can make a stylish bun on the back of the head, which is ideal for both everyday use and going out into the world.

For this you need:

• open the plates, pull the hair between them;

• straighten the strands well so that the hairstyle is neat;

• stretch the plates to the tips;

• wind strands on plates;

• press on the end of the pin — and it will curl itself into a bundle.

Hair ornaments with the unusual name «bump» turn even the simplest everyday hairstyle into a work of art. They look great on loose curls.

Bumpy — a headband for placing on the back of the head and creating a neat bun. It was first used in the 1960s. Small teeth reliably fix strands.

In just a few seconds, you get an elegant hairstyle, like the most famous Hollywood movie stars.

The main types of decorative rims for hair

Pearl studs are the equivalent of a «little black dress.» They are suitable both for simple everyday styles and for evening and even wedding outfits.
