EWAGOA 300 Pack Bobby Pins in Black, 2 Inch Wavy Hair Pins with Storage Box

Looking for a bulk supply of black bobby pins that will not slip straight out of a bun? The EWAGOA 300 pack gives you 2 inch wavy hair pins in a black metallic finish, each one tipped with rubber balls at both ends and packed in a clear storage box. They suit curly, thin, thick and wavy hair.

What makes these pins different from a plain bobby pin

Two details set this pin apart from the flat, straight bobby pin most people know. First, the shaft is bent into a wave through the middle, which the maker describes as giving the pin enough grip to stay put rather than sliding free. Second, both ends carry thick rubber balls, fitted so the pin meets the scalp on a rounded tip instead of a bare wire edge. The metal is double smooth-coated, which the maker states keeps it rust-proof and slow to fade. Colour is black with a metallic sheen, so the pin takes in light instead of throwing it back and sits quietly against dark hair. With 300 pins in the box, you have a matching set on hand for home styling, salon work, or a group such as a bridal party.

Where to place these pins in a bun or updo

Around a bun, the usual approach is to angle pins inward along the outer edge so the wavy section catches both the wrapped hair and the hair sitting underneath it. For a half-up style, they work at the join where the gathered section meets the loose hair. At 2 inches, the pin stays close to the shape rather than sticking out past it, and the black metallic finish keeps it visually quiet against dark hair.

How to slide bobby pins in for a hold that lasts

The wavy center and the rubber-ball ends are what decide how these pins go in. Settle the section of hair where you want it first, then push the pin through with the wavy side towards the scalp so the bend has something to catch. Because the rubber balls sit at the open end, the pin meets the scalp on a rounded tip rather than a bare wire edge. Around a bun or updo, work pins in around the edge of the shape to lock the sections together. The maker lists these as suitable for daily wear and for occasions such as parties and meetings.

How to take bobby pins out without pulling hair

Ease the pin out along the same line it went in rather than dragging it sideways through the hair. The rubber-ball tips at both ends are there to protect hair from scratching as the pin moves, and the double smooth coating leaves the metal slick. Starting slowly at the open end keeps the wavy middle from catching on the section as it comes free.

How many pins are in the pack, and what size are they

You get 300 black bobby pins, each 2 inches long, along with a clear storage box. The maker describes that length as right for girls and women of all ages and suitable across curly, thin, thick and wavy hair. If your bun is built from long, thick sections, add more pins rather than reaching for longer ones, since the pack holds 300. The box is described as handy for keeping the pins together and carrying them to parties and other occasions.

What you get in the box

Leave the storage box on a shelf or drop it in a bag, and a pin is ready whenever a style needs holding in place.
