Spin Pins!

You guys, let me tell you...THESE ARE AMAZING!!!!!!

As a busy college student, there are many days where I simply don't have time to straighten, blow dry, or sometimes even french braid my hair. I try to put it in buns, but they never look good with hair ties pulled around them or I can't get enough bobbypins placed right to make it stay in place, look good, and feel comfortable.

Or sometimes I just want my hair out of my face and off my neck, but other techniques of making a bun don't stay in place.

So when I saw the commercial for the Goody Spin Pin I had to have it.

This isn't another lame hair trick like "Bump-It" and it works in exactly the way that it is advertised. You just spin your hair into a bun (no hair tie needed, which equals no crimping if you decide to take the bun out later in the day) and then spin one Spin Pin from the top on one side of the bun, and spin the other from the bottom on the opposite side (don't let them touch! So no diagonal spinning!) VOILA! Beautiful AND secure bun!

Try it with a braid, on the side of your head, take only half of your hair and make a bun (using just one spin pin), put it on the top of your head or place your bun at the bottom, anything works!

My only complaint, they are very hard to find. They are constantly out of stock (which doesn't just speak for good advertising obviously) and they aren't even carried at Walmart or CVSs (at least in my area). Your best bet is Walgreens or Target.
