Securing combs and hairpins

It's a very common question. If you are wearing your hair down, how do you secure a comb? Well, there is a very simple trick.

Hairpins and combs need hair that is secured in place to grip onto. So, with 2-3 bobby pins that match your hair color, grab the section of hair where you want the comb or pin to go. Secure the hair against your head. Make it tight. Bobby pins are a wedding hair stylist's best friend - I swear to you, I think my stylist used over a hundred pins on my wedding day! Anyway, then you just slide the comb or pin into place. This works with nearly all hair types and lengths.

By the way, this is also a great way to secure a tiara, headband, or a brooch you want to wear in your hair.
