Position bobby pins in an upside down "V" shape with the wavy side upward on one side to modernize a chignon with a feather-inspired design.
Go a little boho. Braid a small section at the hairline and pin at the center of the head.
Use bobby pins to fake an elaborate clip. Position three in a triangular formation to create a half-up style.
Hold a deep side part in place with a bobby pin placed just above the ear. Let hair fall lightly across the forehead to fake bangs.
Dress up short hair with decorative bobby pins, like this twig design
Layer a half-up style. Clip a top section, then follow an inch below with twists on each side and clip in place.
Bobby pins are so light you can use them anywhere without weighing down the hair. Try placing criss-cross shapes anywhere you please.
This updo may be sleek, but colorful bobby pins at the hairline will work with any style—a fishtail braid, a messy bun or even loose waves. Match the clips to your lips for added oomph.
Hide an elastic by wrapping a strand of hair around the base of the ponytail and securing with a bobby pin.
Don't let the style's creativity intimidate you: Tame wavy hair by clipping anywhere so hair doesn't budge.
