Better to use Hair Elastics or Bobby Pins to Hold Natural Hair?

Ever wondered which is best to use – Bobby pins or hair band? Does it make a difference? After all, they all deliver the same job of keeping the hair up. The answer is yes, it does make a difference.

When done well, bobby pins are definitely a better alternative to hair elastics or bands. This is because the latter is normally used improperly which can cause breakage and eventually thin hairlines.

If you fancy hair bands over bobby pins don’t ditch them entirely. Consider including bobby pins in your hair accessories collection to ensure your hair receives maximum care. 

Which do you prefer – bobby pins or hair bands?
