How to Use a Barrette with a Stick Pin
A barrette with a stick pin is an elegant accessory that adds a touch of charm to your hairstyle. This guide will show you how to style your hair with it easily.
What You’ll Need
• A barrette with a stick pin
• A comb or hairbrush
Step 1: Brush Your Hair
1. Start with clean, dry, or slightly damp hair.
2. Use a comb or brush to detangle your hair and ensure it’s smooth.
Step 2: Gather Your Hair
1. Decide whether you want to style all your hair or just a section.
• For an updo, gather all your hair at the back.
• For a half-up style, take hair from the crown and leave the rest loose.
2. Hold the gathered hair in one hand as if making a ponytail.
Step 3: Position the Barrette
1. Place the decorative part of the barrette over the gathered section of hair.
2. Hold it securely in place with one hand.
Step 4: Insert the Stick Pin
1. Take the stick pin and align it with the holes or slots on the barrette.
2. Push the stick pin through the hair and barrette, ensuring it secures the hair tightly.
• Insert the pin at a slight angle to anchor it properly.
Step 5: Adjust and Secure
1. Ensure the barrette feels secure and doesn’t tug on your hair.
2. Adjust the position for comfort and style.
Styling Tips
• For a sleek look, brush your hair thoroughly before styling.
• For a boho style, gently pull at sections of the hair for a looser, textured appearance.
• Experiment with placement: try it at the back, side, or even on a bun.
