How to Properly Use Bobby Pins—Contrary to What Hollywood Hair Trends Show You

ESC, Bobby Pins You're Doing it Wrong
Bobby pins—pretty self-explanatory right? You slide one into your hair and call it a day…until a few hours later when your strands are falling out and you're cursing the beauty gods that be.
