What beauty does not want to feel the most attractive, the most original and the most charming?

Women's fantasy knows no boundaries since ancient times, so back in the late 80s, designers invented a hair clip under the unusual name "Banana". In the last century, this accessory was more than popular, and as fashion tends to come back, in the 21st century, more and more fashionistas begin to build hairstyles on their heads using this little thing.

What?

The unusual name of the hairpin was due to its shape, which very closely resembles the shape of a banana. The accessory itself is a double comb, which fastens effortlessly, like a pin.

Most often, the hairpin is made of plastic, wood, or metal. Caring designers with a sophisticated imagination generously decorate their creations with rhinestones, stones, beads, and even logos.

For example, famous fashion designers "Dior" and "Chanel" keep up with the latest fashion trends.

Often they also invent “Bananas”, trimmed with fabric, most often with silk or felt. In the past few years, there has been a trend to decorate hairpins with fabric, which is successfully used by designers of kanzashi hairpins - the original Japanese hair ornament.

The undoubted advantage of the "Banana" hairpin is its unique shape, which repeats the shape of a human head. Due to this, the hairpin is practically not felt on the hair, the load from its weight is evenly distributed over the hair.

Variety of models

Going to the store with thoughts of buying a "Banana", you should think about what size hairpin you need. Surprised?

"Bananas" come in different sizes, you need to choose them based on the density and size of your hair.

In case your hair does not differ in density, then it makes sense to buy a small hairpin that can firmly fix the hairstyle.

And for owners of thick long hair, a larger accessory is suitable.

For those who have smooth hair, before pinning the Banana, you should comb your hair so that the comb does not slip off your hair.

If you experience difficulties in choosing a hairpin yourself, it is better to take a close friend with you as an adviser, or consult with the seller. Otherwise, you run the risk of buying a thing that is not useful to you.

How to use?

  1. Open the hairpin
  2. Comb your hair so that it lays smoothly.
  3. Tilt your head down
  4. Attach a clip to your hair where the hair starts to grow.
  5. Raise your head and snap the hairpin

As you can see, the rules for using hairpins are simple, this is another advantage of it.

Variations of stylish hairstyles

Do you know the situation when time is limited in the morning hours of the day, but you always want to look beautiful and unusual?

At such moments, you can not do without simple, but necessary accessories that will help you create a simple but spectacular hairstyle.

The easiest styling option with a similar hairpin is the Ponytail. Any girl can do it without someone else's help:

  • comb your hair a little
  • collect them in a bundle
  • clasp the “Banana” from the sides, pin the ends together at the top of the tail

Such a tail does not have to be placed vertically, you can make it on the side, you get the original hairstyle “Tail on the side”.

Similarly, you can create a classic braid.

A great option for a romantic date or an evening walk would be a hairstyle called “French braid:

  • braid a classic braid
  • fasten the "Banana" so that the braid is framed by a scallop
  • fasten the tip of the braid with invisibility at the top at the base of the "Banana"

For such a hairstyle, it is best to choose not an ordinary plastic hairpin, but an accessory decorated with stones or rhinestones to emphasize the image.

For a fun party with friends, an unpretentious but stylish Harness hairstyle is suitable:

  • comb your hair
  • collect them in a tourniquet so that from the sides and bottom, all the hairs are removed, stab the hair with a "Banana"
  • the hair at the end of the bundle can be disheveled, it will not look sloppy

If you want a hairpin that is not conspicuous, then when buying, you should pay attention to the one that will merge with the color of your hair.

There is also another original version of the hairstyle called "Banana":

  • curl with a curling iron or curlers so that you get curls
  • gather your hair where you want a ponytail
  • use a comb to remove any loose hairs
  • fasten the hairpin in the hair
  • arrange the curls around the barrette so that it is not visible. To do this, you can use invisibility and fix the result with hairspray.

Where to buy and how much?

These scallops are sold in most accessory stores and can also be ordered online.

The average cost of a regular Banana is about 150 rubles. A branded hairpin inlaid with stones or rhinestones will cost a little more, about 600 rubles.

Is it worth buying?

Most girls who use a hairpin note the following advantages of the accessory:

  • light, does not create a feeling of heaviness on the hair
  • a simple lock that is easy to fasten without someone else's help
  • does not slip on the hair
