History lesson: The Bobby Pin

Everyone knows what a bobby pin is, right? Some may know it as a Kirby grip, but we all know about them. 


SOOO many uses for them, such as missing zip tags, sewing pins and you can even use them as hair clips! Who knew?! Not to mention the time I used a bobby pin to single-handedly pick a lock to open a dungeon door, use it to knock out the guard by pressure point and free the koalas from the Sahara Desert. (Or was that a dream...?)
Anyhow... I think we would all agree that Bobby Pins are lifesavers.

(Please note: I do not own this image!)

Unfortunately, they are in no way related to Bobbi Brown, the famous make-up artist. Sigh... that would have been a great story, even better than the Koala-rescuing one. 

Here are some great Bobby-pin hair tutorials for you to try:

Happy Bobbing!
