Have you heard of the
Goody Spin Pin? Before my roomie, Carmen, introduced me to this last week, I hadn't! What a complete shame since it's kind of awesome. I've always been super jealous of the girls who can carelessly throw their hair into a messy bun using a pen and this little hair piece makes the same look totally achievable for clumsy people like me. Found at Walmart, Target, CVS and Walgreens for about $6, the spin pin pair is available in brunette and blonde shades. As part of the
Goody Simple Styles collection, it's touted as "doing the work of 20 bobby pins". I love that it does exactly what it says it will! As shown on the site
here, attaining a classic bun is as easy as gathering your hair, wrapping, and screwing in one spin pin from the top and one pin from the bottom. Since my hair is layered it was a little tricky to get the right kind of twisty action going, but once I got it done, the bun lasted all day.
Loving my new 1-minute workday 'do!
This is also going to be the perfect summer must-have for beach days, bike riding, or lounging by the pool. You can easily add a flower hair clip for a dressier/girlier look as well. I will never be without this again!
