QuestionDo I need bobby pins to make a bun?Community AnswerI think that it all depends on how long or short, thick or thin your hair is. If you have long hair, chances are that you can get away without bobby pins. If you have short hair, it would be wise to use bobby pins since your hair might not be long enough to fit entirely into just an elastic. Thick hair would probably require bobby pins and thin hair might not require as many. Messy buns can definitely be done with no bobby pins at all.

However, if you are tying your hair gently, it shouldn't cause damage.

If you do this, they should stay in the whole day.
