The Goody Spin Pin
The Spin Pin is a small hair accessory that creates nearly-instant updos, buns, and French twists with ease. So, if you're tired of struggling with extra bobby pins or hairpulling ponytails, this is your time to shine. Below, peep a handy chignon tutorial for an effortless, and simple style.
Gather Hair into a Ponytail
The first step towards creating an easy updo with the Goody Spin Pin is to gather hair into a loose ponytail. For a traditional bun, gather hair at the nape of your neck. If you want your chignon higher, gather hair into a ponytail in the center or closer to the top of your head.
Twist Hair Into a Bun
Next, gather the hair around the base of your ponytail into a bun or French twist shape.
Insert the First Pin
Insert the first Spin Pin by twisting it into your bun or chignon. The pin goes in very easily, so if you're doing it right, there's no need to shove or jam it in. Twist it in clockwise. To remove the Spin Pin, twist counterclockwise.
Insert the Second Spin Pin
Twist the second spin pin into your bun on the opposite side from where you placed the first pin. Again, it should twist in easily and goes in clockwise.
The Finished Spin Pin Updo
Here's how my chignon looked—and it only took two minutes to create. I didn't need any extra bobby pins, and it stayed in place all day long!
