Colourful hair pins are not only practical tools that are used every day, but they may also become a true tool in a stylist’s hands, which can be used to create amazing hairstyles and looks. However, apart from using them to keep your hair in place, hair pins can also be used in other stylish ways to give you that unique, flamboyant look.
- Hair Pin Art: Why should simple hair buns or even ponytails be the only option you have when styling your hair? Hair pins allow you to design your hair based on the event you’re attending, like creating beautiful patterns. Try using various sizes and colours of hairpins to come up with stunning pieces of artwork, which can be as simple as hair pins or elaborated with beads and flowers, among others. For instance, it could be an interesting idea to arrange hairpins into triangles, squares, hexagons or any other geometrical shapes for a more rebellious look. You can also create subtle floral patterns with pastel-coloured hairpins. If you want more contrast, you can go with opposite colours. As for abstract patterns, which are rather unpredictable, you can try fixing hairpins at random or applying them haphazardly.
- Attach embellishments to hair pins: You can change the perception of your hair pins and turn them into cute hair accessories by further decorating them or combining them with other hair pieces. This is a good idea if you want to introduce some elements of individuality into the overall appearance.
Another idea is to use beads or charms and fasten them to the ends of the hairpins so that they give a fun and carefree appearance. However, ribbons or lace around hairpins work best to create a romantic and elegant style. One can also fix the hairpins together with hair clips or headbands to create a more elegant coiffeur.
- Slicked-back ponytail: Wearing your hair in a usual ponytail can become repetitive and boring, which is why you can bring a twist to your look with a slicked-back ponytail. You can start off with a regular low ponytail and secure it with a hair tie. Take a few sections off the ponytail and use them to wrap around the ponytail, in such a way that the hair tie is concealed. These sections of hair can be secured with colourful hair pins.
- Pinned baby braids: Add some fun twists to your hairstyling game by challenging yourself to come up with different hairdos using colourful hairpins, such as the pinned baby braids. You can style your hair in waves with a curling iron and then take a few inches of your hair at the crown and start braiding it. These baby braids can be secured behind your ears with colourful hair pins.
- Space buns: Space buns were a rage in the early ‘90s, but you can bring back the style with some colourful hair pins. Part your hair into two sections, with each section being twisted and rolled up in a bun and secure them with hair pins. Faunt this “out of the world” hairstyle to your friends.
These five creative ideas show just how versatile colourful hair pins can be. Whether you’re adding a touch of art to your look or bringing back a classic style with a modern twist, don’t be afraid to experiment and make these colourful accessories a staple in your hair routine.
