This is literally so helpful. I normally end up with 70 Bobby pins in a bun and it still comes loose an hour later

[@imyourhappydrug]

Use spin pins they carry the same amount if hair as 10 bobby pins.

[@harmeetbawa1386]

Janell Barr why don't you try U-pins? They can secure the bun in the best possible way. You won't need to add a ton of them too!

[@paydus]

I have needed this for YEARS. I never knew how to stick bobby pins in my hair until this.

[@itzme3230]

Fides Espelita same!

[@shushanarakelyan3014]

OMG! THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I COULD MAKE A BUN! I can't express how excited I am, lol. I've been following your channel for about 2 years now, and was only able to more or less reproduce the braids or things that didn't require any pinning in place, since I have extremely thick, heavy and slippery hair. But look at me now, I can make buns and all kinds of updos! Wooohooo! The life's just begun!

[@bettypin9266]

Really great tips. Messy buns are exactly why we invented Betty Pins, to keep loose, messy buns staying up and looking great all day!

[@yeetfailure1017]

This is so helpful. I realised today that most of the hair stuff I know is what I've learned from you. Thank you so much for being an awesome teacher

[@Tinker13ee]

I just started hair school and I can't stress how amazingly helpful your vids have been.

[@C0NFUSEX0N3]

Hi Kayley! This tutorial CHANGED my bun game!!! Thanks so much for creating this video! 🤗 Super helpful and relatable!

[@kelleywilliford]

I have you say, having thick hair I ALWAYS struggle with Bobby pins and have watched my share of tutorials. This was by far the best one yet! Thanks for the tips!!!

[@marinegoeseels3891]

Why doesn't have a million views already? Soooo useful, thanks Kayley! 😘

[@carolang5611]

You are so thorough and efficient it blows my mind!! Always impressed

[@rem9757]

You're on a roll girl!! All of your recent uploads are so helpful!! I love how detailed you get and the different camera angles you use. Thank you for all the effort you're putting in. We appreciate it so much! ❤️

[@andrear.4864]

Thanks, Kayley, for taking out some of the mystery about using these simple-looking little tools! The line graphics over the video really help to understand what you're doing. Just realized after seeing this video why I had been using BPs upside down (wavy side up, smooth side down) for years. Have been using a set I bought at a Walgreens (long discontinued), after I noticed they were touting a different, intriguing curved design to fit the curve of the head. The curved side is smooth and obviously fits against the head. The top side is also curved, smooth, is shorter than the bottom and is lacking a rubber tip, so not the side to approach the scalp. They never did have much 'grip' and are actually quite light weight and flimsy (as I see clearly now), so I added some 'regular' BPs a while ago to my stash as they seemed stronger. By force of habit I still applied the regulars smooth side down. They just looked wrong the other way, while I wondered about how the wavy side could help with grip. They still worked better than the first set, but not great. Even with improved techniques, by using them upside down, I believe I often was still not getting the most out of them. Time to buy the recommended "good" ones! With these clever techniques I should be able to secure my does even better using fewer pins!

[@Emma-279]

With the corkscrew method when you said it is good with fine hair I'm like, YES!!! THANK YOU!

[@shannonmccarter7710]

I tried out the sewing method on a low messy bun and oh my god! Normally I have to keep redoing my bun through out the day but it stayed put!! Your bobby pin game is strong girl 🙌🙌

[@giovannalordeiro]

I've been following you since the beginning and you're getting more awesome with Kayley time! I love your videos and the way you teach us, you're my favorite youtuber ever! You always look so kind!

[@itzme3230]

Thank you! I tried doing a trick to make a bun without Bobby pins (cuz I have never used them before) and it worked, but it unraveled 5 minutes later! So I thought using Bobby pins would be fun to try, especially since it could hold my bun for longer. Thanks♡ *Edit:* Holy cow, it worked AMAZING. My bun lasted _FOR HOURS_ ! I will definitely share this video to my friends! 💮♡🌹

[@talesoftransience]

Let's be honest: Getting the perfect bun is easy ... ... when you're all alone, when nobody sees you, when you don't have to go to school, when you don't have an event ... *When nobody's there who fucking cares about your perfect bun*

[@melaniekullander1784]

Dawncloud this is so true!!!!

[@victoriakhorani4497]

Dawncloud your comment just deserves way more likes cause let's be honest we can all relate to this 😂 one time when I was sick and home alone I just made a simple bun and it looked amazing 😂😭😭

[@astridwaller2797]

Dawncloud | Yesterday when I was going to bed, I made a messy bun, and it was freaking perfect!

[@talesoftransience]

Astrid .W That's sooo typical I feel you 😂

[@epicleak]

Dawncloud TRUE

[@Dreamer-ql4yy]

Those tips make me so happy right now 😂👍🏼

[@cartograp]

Oh my goodness thank you for this. I have thick hair and I spent years thinking bobby pins just didn't work for me. These two videos have been soooo helpful in upping my poor pin game!

[@karsontaylor3595]

ily Kayley!!! I learn so much from your tutorials!

[@SarahShortAndSweet]

I have absolutely been loving the bobby pin series!!! Could we next tackle wrapping hair around an elastic? My hair always escapes! Help, please!!!

[@EmmelyHu]

I just tried it and it works amazing! When I tried to make a bun it always had a funny shape but not anymore. I have very thick hair and normally i need a ton of Bobby pins but now I can make one with four!

[@RobinOrzo]

Wow I realize I've been applying Bobby pins wrong my entire life! The baby hair trick is gonna change my life! 🙌

[@littlefoot461]

I am loving the eyebrow cut away! Too cute

[@little_m]

Yay! It’s the first tutorial that has worked for my thick hair! I used your sewing technique and my bun is PERFECT!

[@aileenmarie5341]

THE SMIRK!!!! that was adorable!!!

[@Emma-mw9py]

THANK YOU! I just tried all of them and they worked perfectly. Normally my hair just slips out since its so fine, and now i don't even need a hair tie to make a bun

[@kayleymelissa]

Yay!! That makes my day!!

[@TheSanderek]

I love your 'tips and tricks' series! :)

[@nttrbttr13]

Yay!!! So many options. I work with kids so buns and Bobby pins are a must. Thanks for the tips.

[@kelseyrdiz5005]

Literally didn’t know there were so many ways to bobby pin a bun Thanks for the tips 💕

[@purpleprincess2648]

I thought someone else would point out her cool muscles.

[@noellerumsey7176]

ikr!

[@reemlkharz3178]

Omg I just noticed that!

[@breerushi]

Those are her braid guns from all the Wonder woman braiding she does.

[@worship0110]

That is the first thing that I noticed

[@elenanicorici20]

That necklace/choker is adorable! ❤

[@priyankatina3539]

hey kayley! it's always a treat watching yu. can yu please tell me how yu made the messy bun in the last part of this video. ❤❤❤

[@twinklybones8952]

I really don't have too many problems getting bobby pins to secure my buns anymore since I switched to only using the Meta Grip ones from Sally Beauty! They're seriously blessings 💖

[@breannamcdonald8129]

Love how often you're uploading!!

[@StylishElements]

When I thought I knew everything about how to use bobby pins, I found out I was wrong. Thank you so much for this tutorial. I learned a lot.

[@alexandrea.k.l]

I love your messy bun!!!!❤ Do you have a video for that?

[@maurarodriguez3432]

Thank you so much for this video, I needed it for my 5 year old whom just started Kinder. Thanks KayleyMelissa

[@coolsteph20]

Someone's been working out! Damn those biceps Kayley!! :D

[@grizzlybearpoo]

i love this background! Looks way better and really helps me see way your doing with the hair Love you and your videos!

[@kailianastark6908]

Kayley, I was hoping that you could do one of your in depth tutorials on how to braid from the base of your neck up. You use it a lot in your videos but I struggle to do it. If you did a tutorial it would help me a lot. Thank You! 💕💕

[@groetjesuitverweggistan]

Thank you Kayley, needed this! If you make another, I would love to learn how to hide your hairelastic with a pin. I never manage: the hair falls out or the pin sticks out, very annoying.

[@heatherkizewski]

Kayley, your videos have been so helpful and timesaving! Thank you so much!!

[@luciavicente3433]

Can you please do a tutorial on your makeup of this video? It looks amazing 😍

[@yariiiglecias9093]

OMG tutorial on your messy bun please! My messy bun ends up a hot mess, but yours is totally cute 😊

[@elizabethbudkevich3015]

Ohmygod it actually works!! Thanks so much:) finally my heavy thick hair is pinned in place:)

[@annao2518]

I love her makeup on this video😍

[@wowopox]

Similar to the corkscrew, I love using spin pins (I think they're conair) I use three all around by bun equally spaced apart. They work so well and my bun never falls out no matter what!! 👌♥️

[@madeleineeliason7929]

I'm so glad you upload more often!! Love your videos!

[@gratzshino8546]

I love you and your videos! You inspire me to do my hair! Love you!♡♥ you are such an insperation!

[@raniafaraz5979]

OMG CONGRATS ON 1MILLION SUBS😗

[@0509Kathleen]

Thanks for this! Hairpins were always falling out, but not any more 😁😁

[@codeoflassitude]

Can you do a video on how to braid layered hair?

[@erinyes3943]

Just found some pins behind my hair ties and hair sticks that I must have bought and forgot, so this is very useful! Now to find the tutorial that prompted me to buy those on the first place...

[@namratagohel1317]

Yes!! I'm so excited for your videos! Your hair videos are amazing!

[@twominutetips]

Something that is incredibly useful in place of bobby pins AND you need far fewer are roller pins - sold at Sally's. They hold a lot and hold firm.

[@beccalife275]

How did you make the buns in this video? What do I do if my hair is too frizzy to move the bobby pin much within the bun?

[@essihelin9355]

Yay thank you for this video! These tips and tricks will come in handy as buns are my go-to hairstyle for work, school, working out and well, basically for everything in life :D i've been doing them for years but they can always use some perfecting. Thank you for always teaching me something new!

[@kayleymelissa]

+Karoliina Helander you're welcome! I hope it helps you take that bun life to the n ft level!! 😄😊

[@roxiesanderson]

[@Wheelsnoheels]

[@elenh1319]

[@arielleck]

You seriously need to try Goody Spin Pins! You can get them anywhere . They come in different sizes. Bun lifesavers!!!!

[@janek3545]

This is perfect! I am a dancer, and by buns ALWAYS fall out by the end of class. Thank you!

[@herminemeier7282]

Jane Kingrey as a dancer, too I would recommend a hairnet. Very helpful. My bun never falls out in class. Not even during jumps or pirouette's

[@janek3545]

Hermine Meier thanks! I will definitely try that!

[@riv05060]

This was pretty cool! Great video as always

[@TiaraStanX14]

Im a guy and these were really helpful lol, i had two choices, cut my hair off or learn to tie it up, and these are a life saver.

[@ambersky4ever225]

[@theresap1980]

How did you shape your messy hair bun? Also I have lots of hair but it's thin, how would I achieve this messy bun? So pretty ❤❤❤ thank you for helping me 😘😘😘 xoxo

[@TiannaOuellette]

[@BarbaraFischer4]

Do you have a tutorial on that cute messy bun?

[@kayleymelissa]

I don't! I came up with it while I was filming so I could have a cute one for the intro. I was thinking about doing a tutorial on it for one of my Monday videos!

[@BarbaraFischer4]

Kayley Melissa wow! Thank you for your quick response! Yes!!!!! That would be awesome!

[@kayleymelissa]

+Turtle lover 101 that's amazing! I'm so glad to be part of your hairstyling journey!! 💕

[@keziaelim1426]

Thank you so much! This was so helpful❤️

[@andrear.4864]

Good post that gets down to the details and nitty gritty! Looks like tips I could definitely use on my fine, slippery long hair! I needed to slow down the video to get a little better view and noticed the wavy side of the pin was on the bottom and straight side on top? Never have heard on a hair demo which side of pin is up or down. Is wavy side down the general rule? If so, I've been doing it opposite way for years! Also don't ever see you open up the end wider with fingers (or teeth!) to get a bigger 'bite', so totally unnecessary? For such a simple tool, they can be tricky to use effectively!

[@moonrae763]

Andrea R. lol yes the bobby pin works better down, but you weren't the only one who was confused I was as well, but yes it goes wavy side down 😁

[@kailianastark6908]

Andrea R. If u need more information or a better tutorial Kayley also has another tutorial for bobby pins and it is VERY in depth. It really helped me.

[@breerushi]

This was how my grandmother and Mom would use Bobby pins and complain that they would never stay. After watching Kayley's videos I told them they had it backwards for years and they were blown away.

[@Emma-279]

Maybe could you do modern ball hair styles (I'm thinking like a mermaid braid with sparkles in it, that might look nice) if you look up modern ball gowns (I did with sleaved) you can find some pretty hairstyles and some of them I would LOVE to know how to do....I know this would be a big project, but Halloween is right around the corner! 😉

[@lisam3026]

Can you plz do a video on hairstyles for layered hair?? Thanks!

[@ShatteredRippleBooks]

Very helpful..I'd tried spin pins and they gave me a headache so I tried a U pin and securing my ends with Bobby pins and still my bun unravelled. I'm going to try your method and see if that helps. I've bought some hair sticks to try also. So I'm getting my hair up somehow 😂.

[@lilyball2190]

Hello! Can you do a video on how to hide bangs/front fringe with your hair down or just however?

[@MalekHakobian1]

Can you make a tutorial on side cornrows / mini braids on curly hair. (tips to make them show up)

[@Tan-uq8fs]

YES!!! Thankyou 💛

[@bhagwantgujral7665]

This will be really helpful

[@rehamhamdy1613]

I love you 💜💜💜 your channel is a life changing

[@emmaod5933]

THANK YOU as a irish dancer this will help tremendously with wigs and the like❤❤❤❤❤

[@kayleymelissa]

+Emma Carstairs Blackthorn oh I bet! My youngest sister was in gymnastics for years and I had to do her hair. That's how I learned most of what I know!

[@emmaod5933]

Kayley Melissa oh god its awful from the bun to the bun wig the hairspray to the bows digging into your scalp for ten hours its a nightmare alright!! Also i just cut my hair to the length of you short wig and I love it!!!!

[@jyotinath2981]

Finally the video for my life.....
