I was going to do a rant post about not being able to find any bobby pins, despite only buying a pack of 50 new ones about 2 months ago. This time around, I even dedicated a small tin to putting them in at the end of the day, despite this I only have about 6 left; even Dora the Explorer wouldn’t be able to find the rest.
So I have come to the conclusion that I have mice, that take them and use them for furniture building or something… or they’re building an army and plan on using them as weapons. Hmm…
“Quick… there’s another pin!” … “Oh boy, she’s going to go mental trying to find this in the morning!”
Anyway,I was looking for an Beatrix Potter image to illustrate my bobby pin stealing mouse point (not that I’m obsessed with Peter Rabbit or anything…), and for some reason I ended up stumbling onto an article that claims there is a right and wrong way round to use a bobby pin. Mind = Blown.
Wiggly side down girls! (And guys). Not the flat side. Who would have known…

This is because the wavy bit is supposed to stop the hair from sliding out of the pin by giving it a bit of extra grip. And the flat side blends in better with your hair, making them less noticeable.
Apparently I have been using them the wrong way round. Although in my defense I swear my mum used to put them in like that when I was little and she did my hair for dance shows. 😉
PLEASE tell me I’m not the only person that has been using a bobby pin with the wiggly side up and the flat side against the hair!?
*Side note: if your bobby pins are still being a pain in the butt, and aren’t staying where they should (even when you’re using them the right way round!) then spray them with some hair spray before you put them in your hair and they stick so much better.*
