Q: How do spiral hair pins work?
A: You twist them in rather than push them. Set the tip against the base of a bun and turn, so the spiral threads through the hair and locks itself in place.
Q: Are spiral pins better than bobby pins?
A: For holding a bun or updo, yes. A couple of spiral pins do the job of a handful of bobby pins and put less tension on the hair.
Q: Do spiral hair pins work in fine hair?
A: Yes, though fine hair holds them best with a little texture. A light spray of dry shampoo gives the spiral something to grip.
