It usually says: &#8220;99% of people use bobby pins wrong!&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The supposed &#8220;secret&#8221; that&#8217;s then revealed is actually just a simple but practical application trick:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The bobby pin&#8217;s &#8220;secret&#8221;:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ridged side goes down: Many people insert the bobby pin with the smooth side facing their scalp. But the correct way is exactly the opposite: The ridged side points downwards (towards the scalp).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Why? The ridges in the pin are there to grip the hair and secure the curl or strand. The smooth side on top ensures a cleaner, flatter finish. In addition, the slight bend at the end prevents you from scratching your scalp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Three more real pro tricks for bobby pins:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The hairspray trick: If the pins keep slipping out, spray them with a little hairspray or dry shampoo before inserting them. This gives them extreme grip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The &#8220;X&#8221; mantra: For a rock-solid hold, cross two bobby pins in the shape of an &#8220;X.&#8221; They lock into each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Don&#8217;t bend them open: If you bend the bobby pin open too far before inserting it, it loses its tension and stretches out. It&#8217;s best to just push it directly into your hair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Did you have this trick in mind, or is there a completely different, mysterious bobby pin puzzle behind your sentence?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This sounds like a classic clickbait title, the kind you often see on YouTube or TikTok!
