Fishtail braids are already an elegant hairstyle, so think of bobby pins as an extravagant way to highlight a pretty plait. Simply insert some pins into weaved strands and instantly glam up your boho-chic look.

Who knew your most commonly lost hair accessory could be runway-worthy? Celebrity stylist Michael Dueñas created this fashionable bobby pin hairstyle using Scunci No-Slip Grip Bobby Pins, $3.49, for actress Hana Hayes simply to prove that understated hairpieces can turn heads too.
Replace your headbands with large bobby pins instead (we like Elle Extra Long Curved Bobby Pins, $4.50). Not only will the bobby pin hairstyle secure flyaways and annoying baby hairs (grrr), it just so happens to look superglam.
