Speaking of hair

[motzie]

It was recently revealed to me that none of the other girls in my group knew how to properly insert a bobby pin. Somehow they discovered one night (while I was absent) they had all been putting them in upside down.

So I guess my PSA is, everyone knows the smooth side goes up, yes???

My friends are not dumb, but I was shocked to hear this from all 6 of them.

[Muddled]

I am thinking that I do not know how to use a bobby pin. :/

[tiramisu]

I just learned this in the last few years.

[Muddled]

Most of my bobby pins are flat on both sides. Am I still doing it wrong?

[cuddlyevil]

Neither way really worked for me..unless I used lots or a ton of hairspray.

See I disagree that the smooth side is suppose to go up only because if you ever buy them with embellishments on them, the embellishments are on the grooved side.

I don't remember the last time I used a bobby pin...

This
mine were always smooth on both sides!

I feel like I need to go to the bathroom and switch out my bobby pins.

[kaneen]

I either buy the ones that are smooth on both sides or if they have a ridged side, that side usually has a little "bend" at the end that ends up poking me in the head if I go smooth side up.

[gault]

Life. We're all doing it wrong.
I do not use the smooth side up. It seems like it would be harder to put in if you go the other way.

[Muddled]

motzie, get back in here and explain yourself!

[SwimDeep]

huh...maybe that's why I could never get them to work. I learned something today!

[motzie]

I think my friends found a YouTube video or something. The little part that flips out at the end, that goes underneath.

Finally you have arrived!

[motzie]

Or the shorter end, depending on the type.

False! I'm going to need some sort of photographic proof. I've only ever seen them on the top.

I did see some in my search just now too, mostly on etsy. Made by people who have been doing it wrong. Apparently this is more widespread than I realized.

I am on team - the ridges go up.
Muddled, care to join?
