How to Wear Hair Pins: Suzie vs Glistening Styles

Quick Answer

For a bridal look, choose the Suzie Hair Pin with its crystal bow and square design; for everyday shimmer, the Glistening Hair Pin works in updos or half-up styles. Both are secured by sliding the pin into the hair at a slight angle and anchoring it against the scalp.

How to Wear Hair Pins: Step-by-Step

1. Step 1: Choose Your Pin Based on Occasion: For a wedding or formal event, select the Suzie Hair Pin for its bold crystal bow. For everyday wear or casual outings, choose the Glistening Hair Pin for a subtle shimmer. A common mistake is using a bridal pin for casual wear, which can look out of place. Match the pin's formality to your outfit.
2. Step 2: Prepare Your Hair: Start with clean, dry hair. If your hair is slippery, apply a light texturizing spray or dry shampoo to give the pin grip. For updos, secure your style with bobby pins first. Skipping texture products can cause the pin to slide out, especially in fine or smooth hair.
3. Step 3: Position the Pin: Hold the pin with the decorative side facing outward. Slide it into your hair at a slight downward angle (about 45 degrees) until the tip touches your scalp. Then push it in further so the decorative part rests against your hair. Inserting the pin straight in can make it unstable. A slight angle helps it grip better.
4. Step 4: Anchor the Pin: Once the pin is in place, gently wiggle it side to side to settle it. If needed, use a bobby pin over the top of the hair pin to secure it further, especially for heavy updos. Don't push the pin too deep—it should sit comfortably without poking your scalp.
5. Step 5: Check and Adjust: Look in a mirror from multiple angles to ensure the pin is visible and centered as desired. For bridal styles, consider using two Suzie pins symmetrically. For everyday looks, one Glistening pin is enough. Overcrowding with too many pins can look messy. Less is often more for a polished finish.
