Dreamy bobby pins

I have always had long hair. With the exception of my early childhood when I had it shoulder length and and if we count off two unlucky incidents of me cutting it G.I. Jane style. So, having a long hair meant a lot of hair accessories like bobby pins, rubbers, headbands and scrunchies. 

Nowadays, decorated hair pins are amongst the most popular hair accessories. Personally, my favourite pins are the ones with cabochon roses or chrysanthemums. Tiny but lovely and sweet details to put into hair. 

I've made a combination of tulle pom pom  and cabochon pins and {modesty aside} they are gorgeous!

 

 There are also rings to match them. 

The name bobby pin (called kirby by the British) being a question to ponder upon and how it was derived, I googled it to find out, and this is how it got its name:

The "bobby pin" came into wide use as the hairstyle known as the "bob cut" or "bobbed hair" took hold. This trend gained popularity in the 1920s, and the bobby pins kept their bobbed hair in place. A trademark on the term "bobby pin" was held for some decades by Bob Lépine Corporation of Buffalo, New York. Similarly, the British "kirby grip" is derived from the trademark Kirbigrip, used by a Birmingham manufacturer of such pins, Kirby, Beard & Co. Ltd.

Here's a picture of me with my hair fastened with my favourite at the time ladybug clips.

Have a lovely Sunday evening!
