I don't know what color your hair is but they have light and dark bobby pins. I used the light ones for mine. Now I use a really thin headband. You can tuck the bobby pins in behind other hair so you don't see them much.

I did that a few years ago. "Bobby pins"....the stylish kind were wonderful. They actually look good, too.

Thank you for the ideas.

 

I have white hair so the bobby pins show.  I was able to hide one under a layer of hair today!  The clips break my hair (coarse hair) so I try to avoid using them.  I'm going to try braiding them today so see how that goes. If I'm at home, I pull them up on top of my head and use a coated elastic hair holder. Kinda look like Pebbles from the Flintstones - LOL.

 

I need to get through another 2 months and I should be through this process.

 

Again, thanks!

@Lali1   Yes, Amamzon had grey ones and white ones that I ordered to hold my hair when I put it up or back...just a few shorter pieces left.

@Denise in PA   Just posted I order white bobby pins from Amamon. Is there anything they don't have?

I am looking for tips on how to get through growing out my bangs!  I'm 2 months into this and it is at an uncomfortable state - over my eyes but not enough to pull behind my ears!!  Anyone have suggestions?  I work in the public and wear glasses, so I have my glasses,and  mask to deal with too.  I tried a headband but that didn't stay in place when wearing a mask.

 

Any recommendations are appreciated.

 

Thanks!


I use a wide barrel curling iron and blend them into my hair. I don't like the look of clips or bobby-pins.

You could do a side-swept bang and move bangs towards one side (a straightener can help train them).

@Denise in PA Change up your hair part to offset the awkward stage helps too.  I also implemented some hair accessories and a lot of patience.  NEVER again would I have bangs!!!  Good luck as it can be trying.

I did this last year.  I went to the drug store and bought an assortment of narrow headbands.  I recommend the ones with the little teeth - preferably a name brand like Goody.  I bought a four pack that included black, blue, toffee and brown.  I'm still using them even though my bangs are the same length as the rest of my name.

You might want to check out the headband selection over on etsy especially the ones with buttons on the side to attatch your facemask to. Lots of cute unique headbands.
