Saw this on facebook. How could I go almost 33 years and not know this?!

How many of y'all were holding out on this piece of information?

WTF! no way! that can't be true! I thought it was flat side down bc then it's able to "glide" into place.....wtf!

i want answers!!! STAT! :lol:
 
Welp ... I guess I've been wearing Bobby pins the wrong way all my life then. :ohwell: :lol:
 
That's just a picture. Prove it. I want to see directions from the manufacturer!
 
I never knew that it made a difference
 
Does it say why it matters? I wonder if that's why they always hurt my head.

I guess I really never thought about the design. There must be a reason one side is straight and the other side um, bumpy :look:
 
Ok per this blog: http://www.thesmallthingsblog.com/2011/12/so-what-is-deal-with-bobby-pins-anyway.html

Lets cut to the chase: YES, put your bobby pins in zig zag side down (as in toward the scalp, or with the flat side being exposed). Why? Because it holds better and looks better. The zig zag part of the pin "grabs" the hair beneath the section, and the smooth, straight part of the pin simply holds the hair down. Whether you are hiding your pins completely in a messy updo, or pinning your bangs back, always put them in zig zag side down.

I guess I will try it when I go home.
 
I never knew people wore it flat side down.......learn something everyday I guess

Oh, stop being a know-it-all. You ain't know...:grin:

Seriously, I don't think I've ever seen anyone put it flat-side up.

I mean it makes sense. It would seem if you but the bumpy side down it could catch the hair better and the flat-side up would look neater I guess, but still...:spinning:
 
Well color me surprised. I must tell my Mum. She's been doing it wrong for decades.
 
I dislike bobby pins. I don't know if I ever paid attention to which way I put them in :look: I try to snatch them out almost as soon as I put the in. :nono: I never have them on the outside so they show. I don't like the way they look on top of the hair no matter which side is up.
 
I'm shocked but now I think about it I realise they look smooth many times I've seen people wearing them visibly.. Damn.
 
I found this out on Pinterest a few months ago. I was like, "Say what now?" :lol:
