Hair pin
Hairstyle plays an important role in creating your image. At all times, fashionable women sought to decorate their hair in various ways, whether it be wreaths of natural colors, weaving ribbons into braids or the use of devices such as tiaras, headbands, pins, clips and hairpins. The latter serve not only to give a hairstyle a certain form and to fix individual strands, but also to add decoration elements to it. Hairpins come in a wide variety of shapes and designs, but special attention should be paid, perhaps, to the most common variation - automatic.
Features and perimuschestvu
The base of the construction includes two metal plates interconnected, which snap into special grooves with a tongue. Between them there is a flexible curved plate, which ensures the fixation of the product on the hair. The mechanism itself was called "click-click", thanks to the characteristic sound that it makes in the process of closing. These hairpins have gained their popularity by the fact that they are versatile to use, have a low cost, suitable for women with any thickness of hair.
However, it should be noted some disadvantages of this type. From the fact that such a barrette has a rather rigid structure, it can injure the scalp if you actively move, for example, while playing sports. For the same reason, it is not recommended to pin down her hair if you go to bed. In addition, some women noted that when using this type of hairpins, the tips of the hair split more, but it depends more on the quality of the metal from which it is made, rather than on the design features.
Decor
Decorating automatic hairpins is very diverse. The simplest is colored plastic lining attached to the base of the plate, decorated with rhinestones, drawings, stones, leather decorative items and other materials. Modern women of fashion went further, decorating hairpins with artificial flowers, feathers, combinations of fabric, etc.
Today, kanzashi design is very popular. This is a technique of jewelry from fabrics and ribbons in the form of flower arrangements. Her ancestors became artisans from Japan, who formed flowers from silk fabric and attached them to pins, combs, and pins.
The needlewomen who chose this technique for themselves can create real masterpieces: complex, multi-level flower arrangements, assembled in stunning bouquets. In addition to flowers, real kanzashi masters are able to make decorations in the form of birds, butterflies, and even create simple landscapes. Thanks to this, a simple hairpin-machine will become not so everyday an attribute for fixing strands in a haircut, as a unique accessory that will emphasize the individuality of your style.
For example, a product made of dark and silver satin ribbons, which create color contrast, looks very tender. Beads perfectly complement the picture, making the flower more alive.
Another material that is often used in the design of hairpins is foamiran - plastic suede of various shades. From it you can make almost any form for jewelry. With a slight heating, it is able to acquire volume, which makes it possible to create the most unique images for decorating the hairpin. Models of this material look very realistic and elegant.
For example, this is how a composition made of foamiran in the form of rosebuds looks natural. Color and shape perfectly match the real image of the flower.The hairpin decorated with this decoration will look gorgeous on dark hair, giving the image refinement and femininity.
