First things first:
1. For no-show pins, point the bobby pin in the opposite direction of the hair you're pinning back.

4. Shorter locks? Sweep everything to one side:
And to prevent pins from sliding, prep them before use:
5. For a no-fuss way to tuck your bangs back, braid your crown and secure with two quick pins:
7. Or criss-cross your locks for a different take on half-up, half-down:
It's easier than you think, and each pin tucks neatly under the layer above it. More here.
8. Master the art of the twist-and-tuck:
9. Use bobby pins to prop up your ponytail:
10. Get creative with a chevron-inspired design:
11. Or a geometric one:

Also? Bonus points if you can work this into your hair: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
14. Double up with two:
15. Or three:
16. Start your day with a sunrise ponytail:
17. Chop your locks (temporarily!):
19. Or stack a dozen on top of each other for a beautifully bold look:
20. Rock a rainbow-inspired 'do with colorful pins:
Bonus: A quick fix for all of those stretched out bobby pins you've got lying around? Pliers.
