Good pinning is the foundation of almost every bridal style. Your hairstyle can look beautiful, but if the base is not secure, it will not last through a full wedding day.

‍

One of the most important techniques you will learn is cross pinning. By crossing your bobby pins, you create a stronger anchor and a secure base to build your hairstyle onto.

‍

You will use this technique again and again for buns, upstyles, twists, ponytails and many other bridal looks.

‍

At first, focus on strength and control, not speed. Practise until placing and crossing your pins starts to feel natural in your hands.

‍

A beautiful style starts with a strong base.
