Two curly hair questions we hear all the time… and the simple tools that can make styling so much easier.
If you have curly or wavy hair, you probably know the feeling.
You carefully section your hair for styling, clip one piece away, start working on another section… and suddenly the hair you clipped up has escaped and is back in the way.
Or maybe you've finally created a cute bun, twist or half-up style, only for it to slowly loosen and fall apart.
Sound familiar?
You're definitely not alone.
Two of the most common curly hair styling struggles are keeping your sections separate while you style and keeping your finished style securely in place. Curly hair has its own personality, and sometimes it feels like you're working with it rather than styling it!
The good news? Having the right tools can make both jobs much easier.
And because our Stay Put Sectioning Clips and Twist Pins have a birthday this October, we're taking a look at exactly why these two little tools belong in your curly hair kit.
1. “How do I section my curly hair without everything falling back?”
This is one of those curly hair problems that sounds simple until you actually try it.
You're styling your hair in sections, but the moment you let one section go, it falls straight back into the hair you're working on. Or you use a clip that slips, pulls or catches when you try to remove it.
Curly hair can make sectioning particularly fiddly because you're often working with wet, product-covered hair and trying to keep your curl pattern intact.
Curly-haired communities regularly discuss this exact frustration, particularly when brush styling or working in smaller sections.
This is where Stay Put Sectioning Clips come in.
The Stay Put Sectioning Clips are designed to be your extra pair of hands when you're styling.
Use them to separate your hair before brush styling, keep sections out of the way while you're working, or hold hair up while applying a treatment.
They're made for both wet and dry hair and have an anti-snag tension grip, so you don't have to fight with your clips while you're trying to get your curls looking their best.
Try this on your next wash day:
Start at the bottom of your hair and work your way up.
Separate the section you're working on and clip the rest away. Style that section, then move on to the next one.
It sounds ridiculously simple, but keeping the hair you're not working on out of the way can make the whole styling process feel much less chaotic.
And if you're brush styling? Even better.
You can work through your sections without constantly having to push stray curls out of the way.
2. “How do I put my curly hair up without it falling out?”
Curly hair updos can be a bit of a mystery.
You want the effortless messy bun.
You get… a bun that lasts approximately seven minutes.
Or you create a lovely twist and then spend the rest of the day wondering whether it's going to survive.
Curly-haired people regularly ask for easy ways to get their hair up and keep it secure, from everyday styles to weddings and special occasions.
And this is where Twist Pins can make a difference.
Twist, secure, done.
The Twist Pins 4 Pack is designed to hold buns, twists and half-up styles securely without the snagging you can get from traditional grips.
Simply gather your curls into the style you want, hold it in place and gently screw the pin clockwise into the section.
For extra security, add a second pin from the opposite direction.
And when you're ready to take your style down, unscrew the pin counter-clockwise rather than pulling it out.
Simple.
No wrestling with your hair.
No trying to find the tiny end of a bobby pin buried somewhere inside your bun.
And no need to completely undo your curls just to get your hairstyle down.
The curly girl styling trick?
Don't make your hair do all the work.
Sometimes we spend so much time thinking about which products to use that we forget about the tools we're using to actually style our hair.
But sectioning properly can make brush styling easier.
And having a secure way to pin your hair up can make an everyday twist or bun much less frustrating.
It's not about adding another complicated step to your routine.
It's about making the steps you're already doing easier.
So which one do you need?
If you're constantly fighting with your sections:
Reach for the Stay Put Sectioning Clips.
They're useful for styling, detangling, treatments and refreshes, whether your hair is wet or dry.
If your buns, twists and half-ups never seem to stay put:
Try the Twist Pins.
They're made specifically for securing those styles while helping you avoid snagging and pulling.
And if you have both problems?
Well… now you know why we made both!
