How To Use Bobby Pins and Hair Pins Correctly

[@kriscain6089]

Thank you so much! I know it sounds stupid, but I actually never learned how to use bobby pins or style my hair in general. I never really had the money for hair products or anything, and I just sorta settled for a ponytail if anything. I’m trying to learn the basics, and I’m really happy this video exists! Thank you!!

[@bingfannumberone]

saaaaaame what a clutch video to come acrosss :)

[@Artchick1972]

Same here. No one taught me

[@YourFrienjamin]

You're not stupid - just ignorant

[@lindsaydonovan3236]

Don’t feel bad, the majority of us didn’t know, either lol

[@diegoweiss41]

Glaze is crazy

[@write-minded3921]

You’re not supposed to open the pin?!!! *this changes everything*

[@juliagregory922]

Right? I had no idea!

[@cmadd498]

I have been doing it wrong my whole life!

[@Rooloo-t4g]

Ikr 😂😂

[@thedemisurgeon7490]

Thank you for this! As a mortician, we often have to do the hair ourselves, yet they never teach this it in mortuary school. This simple tutorial is a game changer for me lol

[@TiddlyBlinx]

At least you don’t have to worry about hurting anybody while you do their hair! 😃

[@starrwhite9483]

OMG!!!! why doesn't someone teach us this when we're young? I'm 50 years old, have fine hair, and have NEVER been able to keep hair pins from sliding right out of my hair. Thank you soooooooo much!!

[@samvillahair]

We learn something new every day! ♥

[@YuBeace]

I have really thin and sleek hair, so everything always slides right out! Thanks for these lil tricks!

[@mandyatkinson564]

I literally just redid my bun following your instruction. Worked so much better! Thank you.

[@NicolePoliskey]

I never knew I needed a video so damn much! Been opening the bobbies forever!

[@Rooloo-t4g]

😂Me, too.

[@nicolewoods334]

i told every girl in school to watch you because your the only one that makes since on everything u teach ...am going for my master instructor license and already have a job at the school i work so hard and appreciate you for helping me ...our other teacher was not doing nothing and you been there for me through my schooling. your videos have been my safety net thank u sooo much 😇

[@samvillahair]

I am so glad that you are finding the videos helpful in your educational journey. Education is all about teaching - once you remove yourself and focus on the learner, really concentrating on explaining the how, what and why behind whatever it is that you're doing, then you will become a more effective educator. Wishing you all of the best and thanks for watching!

[@larissawieferich932]

I saw you for the first time at the Chicago Hair Show and you literally changed my entire thought process on braiding and updos. I used to hate them and now I love them!

[@veshmahlalwah334]

thank you for taking the time and effort to teach us what you've learned along your journey.

[@samvillahair]

You're welcome my friend!

[@miiadiaz4129]

Smh. I have been using Bobby pins wrong for over 20 yrs. Thank god for KZbin. The things I have learned on KZbin is amazing.

[@franciscakikaweber8794]

Bless you!! Here I am...53 years old--how did I not know this??? Thank you!!

[@Michelle-qd9gm]

I’ve been doing it wrong all my life lol. You say you learn something new every day well am glad I know now

[@user-bh2cl7jl5w]

That looked painful

[@Lavyew]

No it didn't...look at ALL THAT HAIR, silly!!

[@emilyh3412]

Ahhhhh, the things they don’t bother to put in the cosmetology textbooks 😅 Very VERY helpful to know!!!

[@jillqqzhou]

lol I've been using pins in wrong ways all my life...

[@carystone6141]

QQ Z most people have ;-) I didn't learn till hair school that they go the opposite way I thought, but this is the first time I've seen it explained on how to actually use them, and I'm a licensed stylist (have been for 3 years)!

[@jenaguila4193]

Same here😂

[@nicolemiller7022]

Sadly so have I bc I self taught most of my cosmetics and wasn't told different. This was great to learn since I have very thick hair and its def a pain in my ass when the bobby pins would back out.

[@thuytran5149]

Lol 😂

[@thestylist5860]

Looks like an alien 👽

[@leahwatkins7025]

This is the video I never knew I needed.

[@gracep944]

I'm used to be very boring with my hair style, thank you to you now I know a new way of how to do it, Thank you!

[@claudiaxexe]

This video was simple, easy to understand and very well explained. Perfect! Thank you !

[@AlishaArlene]

Simple. To the point. LOVED this tutorial! Thank you!!!

[@scarletttheobald6245]

YOU ARE MY FAV CHANNEL!!! I want to be a hairdresser when I grow up!!!!!!!!!

[@ramoni2718]

Thank you sam seriously needed this tutorial. I just started cosmetology school and every little thing helps step up my game when I practice.

[@samvillahair]

Glad it helped you out Ramon!

[@blueskies7274]

Omg I've been putting in bobby pins the wrong way all my life!! 1. I put it in with the grooves facing up 2. I stretch the pin open before inserting 3. I never did the up and down motion when inserting Thank you so so much for showing me this

[@samvillahair]

You are so welcome! They should come with directions!

[@redyeti7371]

Thanks Sam! Never used hair pins on myself so this concise, effective advice is really helpful!!!

[@samvillahair]

Happy to help!

[@damarisvillagrang6492]

Hola bello vídeo te saludo desde Guatemala...una pregunta como se llama el ganchillo q esta mas abierto

[@djmindy]

Omg... i been needing this video for my whole life ive been using bobby pins wrong

[@zendayalove9221]

you're so professional!! I love it, thanks for another great video!! :)

[@samvillahair]

Thank you!

[@kellywolfe5930]

I'm so glad I have your videos to look back on 💚💙💗💛💜

[@shortynat]

Wow, I finally found it!!! Thank you, I swear some of these videos the people in them talk to you like you're an idiot! This is what I was looking for!

[@sandracarlstrom]

Thank You So much. I have long, thick and heavy hair.. didn't know about the twists wich will make them stay longer😂 Happy Easter from Sweden🐣

[@marthafearon391]

Genius video. Looking at my pins differently now. Thank you ♥️

[@bctngallivininoh9013]

It just occurred to me where every teen girl or woman can learn about this. The next time a client sits in one of your chairs, explain that you'd like to teach her one little thing that she can take home and use for a lifetime - then explain the proper way to use bobby pins! (Of course, in advance hire a hair decoration artist to provide the shop with an array of beautiful decorated bobby pins and have that display right by the cash register... Just an idea... I do love the "upsell!!")

[@stinkygoose666]

That's a good one!

[@MK-ih6wp]

Brilliant. I wish someone, ANYONE, would have pulled me aside for 5 minutes in my youth and taught me this. So much time & stress I've wasted over the years due to bad hair days & constantly re-pinning my hair as my up-do slowly melts down my head during the workday. Ugh. It almost feels like the women in my life have let me down. They havent--- my mom didn't know the correct way to use bobbypins either, until I recently showed her-- it's just hard to believe that during both of our lifetimes, neither of us picked up on this basic girl survival/having hair 101 incredibly helpful tip. No wonder I've always hated up-do's. It's like trying to do division when you haven't yet learned how to multiply.

[@finethehuman1821]

What about guys?

[@finethehuman1821]

@Demacian Weavile hell yeah brother!!!

[@Magical_Trash]

😱😱😱 My whole life is a life!!!!! Thx u I needed this. I have really thiCC heavy hair and even if I put 30 pins in, they never stay quite right 😅

[@MK-ih6wp]

I know this video is older but in a perfect world, it would be super helpful to start off with an infographic that shows all the different pin types that you're going to cover in the video. It's hard to see them when you hold them up in your hand without a solid background. But this info is still fantastic, thank you for sharing!

[@samvillahair]

Good suggestions!

[@jromeo8247]

Awesome. Never knew how to properly use them until now. Thanks!

[@raynelong3028]

Thank you!!! I was finding everything but just simply how to hold my hair up with a bobby pin .. THIS WAS EASY AND Perfect!

[@samvillahair]

So glad!

[@heenybeanyteeny8465]

This video is so clear! Thank you!

[@MM-ni6fw]

Absolutely fantastic tutorial! Thank you 😊

[@saladking2370]

My hair is at that awkward stage where it isnt long enough to tie so this moderately helpful. As a guy who's never used hairpins before, this definitely raises more questions. Lol

[@avery8221]

No one taught me how to use Bobby pins so ty 😁

[@elaineser]

Very informative, never knew any of that. Been doing it wrong for years.

It is kind of amazing that these basics aren't more widely known :-) Glad you enjoyed the vid!

[@sandratheresa3779]

Exactly....

[@trinaraylee6922]

She's got so much hair bundled up that the pins are not going into her scalp and hurting her. She's supposed to be not noticed, the demo is not about her but it's about the hair and the pins. For all intents and purposes, she's nothing but a pile of hair that he's using for demonstrating. He's got her there for that specific reason, he doesn't care if she's bored or whatever.

[@Fancyfarmgirl23]

I’m not seeing that

[@pheobewarr7402]

Ty, I was so frustrated and never able to use pins! My hair so heavy and clips hurt. Ty so much!

[@samvillahair]

You're so welcome!

[@yuuri9064]

Wow you are an amazing teacher. I didn't know that part goes on the bottom, or that one should weave the pin in. Will the U-pins not break after bending back and forth a few times? And what does one do with a thick piece that needs to be pinned?

[@samvillahair]

Hi there! For large sections, we would recommend the large pins are both longer and wider than most, so they can handle extra hair. If you're using the pins to create an updo, the U-shaped pins are your best bet. They are also very strong and should not bend or break.

[@judietallman]

such great tips! thanks, Sam!

[@karenmcdoanld8805]

Hi, Sam, my question is, When I was in beauty school and the updos were the style. How do you put the bobby pins in around the head? Do you overlap them? I always put the flat side downside of the head just made sense!

[@samvillahair]

Always put the textured side down. You can overlap them if you like.

[@jenjohnson3329]

short and sweet thanks!!

[@NessieLea223]

Any recommendations on brands of pins? The ones I finds either have burs on the coating or twist when I try flip or push them into place .
