Marjorie,
I use hair sticks rather than hair pins. My hair is very long and
very thick, so regular bobby pins I can get at the local stores are
totally useless. I prefer the sturdy metal and wood to the plastic. I
also prefer the two-prong sticks to the singles. You can get short
and plain ones that barely show at all, too.

Dear All,
I had a book signing recently. In preparation, I pinned my hair up
in a bun, only to have the whole mass fall out of its pins soon
after arrival. Do any of you have any sure-fire suggestions as to
keeping ones hair in a bun until the owner of the hair wishes to
remove the pins, and not the hair itself?
Thank you in advance! I do love this loop...
Marjorie
