How to Turn a Bobby Pin Into a Hair Accessory

by Jessica Cruel 0

Katharine McPhee's faux bob could fool even the most seasoned hairstylist. By styling her layers in tousled waves, it appears the Smash star had a meeting with the scissors — but it's all an illusion. The shorter top layers perfectly disguise her tucked-under style. Plus, the addition of three bold-colored bobby pins is both functional and fashionable. Similar hair accessories were spotted on the Not by Jenny Lai and Rodarte runways. It's easy to play with brightly colored bobbies! Try crisscrossing them or just layering them side by side for a graphic look. Katharine proves you don't have to stick to one color — she stacked yellow, fuchsia, and lime green pins for a fresh look. She completed her look with clean makeup and classic red lipstick. Sometimes all you need is a spot of color.
