Fancy Pins These bobby-pins-but-make-it-fashion are cute, but they're notoriously weak. Use these as accent pieces to hold back bangs or for other easy styles. If you really want to put your bun up with a star-shaped pin, we advise you to fake it until you make it. That means, secure the actual bun with a no-slip pin, then pop your pretty one over the updo to make it look like that's what's doing the heavy lifting. Image Source: Getty / Satoshi Kawase
