Hairpin-machine
Hairstyle plays an important role in creating your image. At all times, fashionistas have sought to decorate their hair in a variety of ways, whether wreaths of natural flowers, weaving ribbons into braids, or using devices such as tiaras, headbands, hairpins, clips and barrettes. The latter serve not only to give the hairstyle a certain shape and 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 to perhaps the most common variation - automatic.
Features and Benefits
The base of the structure includes two metal plates interconnected, which snap into special grooves with a tongue. Between them is a flexible curved plate, which ensures the fixation of the product on the hair. The mechanism itself was called "click-clack", due to the characteristic sound that it makes during the closing process. Such hairpins have gained their popularity because they are universal in use, have a low cost, and are suitable for women with any hair density.
However, some disadvantages of this type should be noted. Due to the fact that such a hairpin has a rather rigid design, it can injure the scalp if you are actively moving, for example, when playing sports. For the same reason, it is not recommended to pin your hair with it if you go to bed.In addition, some women noted that when using this type of hair clips, the ends of the hair split more, but this depends more on the quality of the metal from which it is made, rather than on the design features.
Decor
The decoration of automatic hairpins is very diverse. The simplest is colored plastic pads attached to the base of the plate, decorated with rhinestones, drawings, stones, decorative leather details and other materials. Modern fashionistas have gone further, decorating hairpins with artificial flowers, feathers, fabric combinations, etc.
Today, the design of kanzashi is very popular. This is a technique for decorating fabrics and ribbons in the form of flower arrangements. Its founders were artisans from Japan, who formed flowers from silk fabric and attached them to hairpins, combs, pins.
Needlewomen who have chosen this technique for themselves can create real masterpieces: complex, multi-level flower arrangements assembled into 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 hair clip will become not so much an everyday attribute for fixing strands in your hair, but a unique accessory that will emphasize the individuality of your style.
For example, a product made from dark and silver satin ribbons that create a color contrast looks very gentle. 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 a wide variety of shades. Almost any shape for jewelry can be made from it.With a little heating, it is able to acquire volume, which makes it more possible to create the most unique images for decorating a hairpin. Models made 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 repeat the real image of the flower. A hairpin decorated with such an ornament will look chic on dark hair, giving the image sophistication and femininity.
