Goody Simple Styles: Spin Pin

I have long hair and like it throw it up in a bun when I don't have time to do it but sometimes a bun can look funny or be too tight with a regular hair tie. Not only can I work out with this but it keeps my hair looking good and not too tight. GREAT PRODUCT!

Love this. I watch my friend use it all the time. However, my hair is shoulder length so I have to wait a little longer to use. It does work but my bun is puny looking. I will continue to use hair scrunchies until it grows out longer to use.

I first found these in a drugstore. They were an impulse purchase. I have very long (bottom of my rib cage in back) medium/thick blonde hair. When I want to put it up I tend to wrap it in a bun and tie a pair of hair elastics around it, but that leaves a kink in my hair... Then I found spin pins. They are so easy! They allow me to put my hair up in a bun (out of my way) without leaving kinks in my hair, which allows me to go longer between washes/styles. Also, if I curl my hair and pull it into a looser bun, it creates a gorgeous loose bun/elegant updo. I have pairs of these pins stashed everywhere now! They also prevent me from pulling my hair too tight and giving me a headache. I've gotten them for my sister, mom, and best friend (all have long medium thick hair). They're better than straight pins because they actually hold the hair, (using only the two pins). They're also easier to use than straight pins. You just catch the piece of hair close to the head with one of the ends of the pin (like you would with straight pins) and then twist until the twist pin has gone all the way into the bun. Then do the same on the other side. Absolute hair must-have!

I have close to waist length hair. My hair is straight and fine. I've always had a hard time making buns with hair ties and bobby pins, so I was excited to try these. They worked very well for me. Very fast, and they hold my hair all day! I've worn them to work several times, and I can go all day without them falling out. Also, you can't them when they're in your hair. I would definitely recommend these!

I have long hair and am constantly putting my hair up, so I have every type of hair clip imaginable. Most days I am in a rush to get to work and don't have time to do my hair. I use to fiddle with different clips or barretts which could take me up to 10 minutes to get the look I wanted. But now with the Spin Pins, I can easily put my hair up in less than 30 seconds. They are really easy to use. Plus the Spin Pins will hold my hair in a bun all day - wet or dry; in a loose or tight bun. I recently spent all day at a pool in Vegas and had my hair up in the Spin Pins, at the end of the day (even getting my hair wet in the pool), my bun was still in place and looking good.

Have to try these spiral pins to believe! I have fine hair and they manage to hold it up in a tight bun all day long. Really easy to use too.

This little pin really works. I tried it because I'm constantly adjusting my hair when I have it up and it's a pain. The Spin Pin is easy to use, and it stays put all day. You can make messy or tight hair buns with it too. Love it!

I have long hair, and often I just want to pull it up and out of the way. I love to put my hair in a bun (for both aesthetic and practical reasons), but with ordinary pins I can never get it to stay. These spin pins have made that process so much easier, faster, more comfortable, and they will keep my bun in place all day. It does loosen over time, but for me it doesn't fall apart the way buns with ordinary pins have.

One note: for gals with long hair (especially if it also has layers), you may need more than one package of spin pins to get the best effect. Depending on how thick your hair is and how strenuous your activity will be, it may be a good idea to have a third spin pin handy.

I was skeptical. I have fine hair, slightly below my shoulders. I am always looking for easy ways to create some style. These pins do what they are suppose to do. Quick and easy bun that lasts all day.

This is a fun idea, but I found it either gives me the tight bun look or if I get it into a messy trendy bun it won't stay. It is good when I want to get waves and I put my hair in a high bun over night, but I can't imagine using it to go out. Maybe after I play with it a bit more.
