Hat Pins
What is the correct way to apply a hat pin through a vintage hat to hold it firmly on your head?
I love the 50’s and am into the Rockabilly style. I have collected many vintage hats and for the ones in which require a hat pin to be threaded through the hat and your hair to stay put I have failed miserably at. Most times I end up poking myself ( Ouch! ) and others I get a piece of hair but it ends up sliding off. What is the correct technique?
I thank you all for your time and assistance!
HOW TO USE A HATPIN:
Certainly it’s easy enough to pin a hat to an updo such as a French twist, where there is a good-sized knot of hair to hold a hatpin securely. But for the longest time we have wondered, how on earth did thousands of 20th-century women manage to pin hats to loose-hanging hairstyles? Finally we have an answer!
1. Put the hat in place on your head.
2. Carefully insert the hatpin through the hat, catching a small lock of hair underneath the hat.
3. Twirl the hatpin around to wrap the lock of hair around the end of the pin. This step is very tricky when dealing with delicate material, so be sure to practice on something sturdy before you try this with your straw hats.
4. Push the end of the pin through the hat to secure it
