An Updo's Secret Weapon

nicolebalch Nicole Balch |

I’m not great at doing my hair, but these Goody Spin Pins are my new favorite hair accessory. They’re available in sets of two in a dark color (for brunettes) or light (for blondes), and they’re genius! I’m not the only one that thinks so either.

See my favorite way to use them, below the jump!

(Click here for the tutorial.)

I love using the spin pins for a Gibson tuck/roll. In fact, when I wrote about the hairstyle, a reader commented and recommended them! So easy, and I even look polished on days when I wasn’t able to wash my hair.

Have you tried them?

    I bought those spin pins awhile ago, but hadn’t found a use that worked for my super thick hair. I just used this tutorial and they are working perfectly for me! Thanks!

    These are the GREATEST thing that ever happened to my hair. I’ve been a true devotee since 5 minutes after my first purchase. :-)

    I have very curly and easily tangled hair and those kind of pins are scary to me. They look like they’d get tangled into my curls and never come out.

    My daughter and I love them. 2 pins works for her long, but since mine is thick, I use 4.

    I love this! Sorry maybe I’m dense but how do you use the spin pin with the gibson roll??
