The twister hairpin appeared on the domestic market in the 1990s, and immediately became an event due to its convenience and versatility. There was probably not a single owner of long hair who did not use this hairpin and did not experiment with new types of hairstyles that suddenly became available. After all, with a total lack of time for yourself and your own beauty, such a hairpin made it possible to create an elegant hairstyle in literally five minutes and in any conditions. And elegant hairstyles continue to remain relevant, no matter what happens.
What is a twister?
The twister (also known as the sophist-twist) has a very simple and reliable design - it is a flexible wire connected into a ring and inserted into a fabric case.
These clips come in a variety of colors and designs, ranging from simple and sleek to those decorated with beads, sequins, rhinestones, and even artificial flowers all over the edge or just at the ends.
But let’s look at how to use hairpins and create a beautiful hairstyle in detail.
Which twister should you choose?
Choosing a suitable design depends on your hairstyle preferences. Some hairstyles hide the twister completely, then large decorative elements will be superfluous, and it’s worth stopping on a smooth model. If the hairstyle reveals fragments of the hairpin, it makes sense to pay attention to decorated models.
Besides, the twister model depends on the length of the hair, for long hair you will need a longer hair clip, for medium hair - a smaller one.
For lovers of voluminous hairstyles a hairpin will do with foam insert, giving an ordinary (or unusual) bun additional volume, as in the films of the 1960s.

Classic bun
Long hair should be combed smoothly and gathered at the back of the head. The ends of the strands are inserted into the slot of the twister; it is important to ensure that none comes out. Then the hair is twisted around the twister until it is right at the head. During the process, it is better to gradually lift the twister so that the bun turns out even. Now is the time to fasten the ends of the hairpin.
Classic bun can be high or low – depending on your tastes and mood. With small twisters, or especially thick hair, you can create two perky buns on the sides.
Important! The twister fixes the hair very firmly, so it is better not to tighten the hairstyle when twisting it. But you can be sure that your hair will not go wrong under any circumstances: neither in the sports arena, nor in a winter hat.
Shell
A bun option in which the hair is wound on a twister located vertically. Unlike a classic bun, there is no need to close the hairpin into a ring near the head. It remains in an upright position, and the ends securely fix the hair.
Advice! Decorated models and models with foam rubber are ideal for vertical shells. They will help you create a bright and even evening look.
Tail with harness
An original hairstyle suitable for situations when you need to make an impression. First, the hair should be parted into two parts: upper and lower. The lower part is collected in the same way as in a classic bun, and when the twister is closed into a ring, the upper part of the hair is passed through the resulting donut. Thus, the bundle-bundle is wrapped around the tail and securely fixes it.
Malvina
The hair is divided into two parts, as in the previous version. But this time the bun is done on the top part. The lower hair remains loose and can be effectively curled or, conversely, straightened.
Different versions of the “Malvina” hairstyle are especially popular this season. “Malvina” with a twister is a win-win option, spectacular and relevant at the same time.
Advice! For hairstyles that involve a bun of only part of the hair, smaller twister models are better suited. With several twisters of different sizes, you can adjust the size and fullness of the bun to your liking.
Greek tourniquet
Hair is divided into upper and lower parts, the lower being much larger than the upper. The lower hair is inserted into the twister slot and twisted into a horizontal version of the shell adjacent to the head. The upper strands are effectively tucked into the resulting plait, emerging from it with thoughtful carelessness.
They can be curled or styled in waves. After this, the ends of the hairpin are closed into a classic ring, securely fixing the hairstyle.
Pin-up
For the hairstyle, a twister made of printed fabric in bright colors with curly ends imitating the ends of a scarf is used, just like the perky girls from popular pictures. in pin-up style.
The ends of the twister extend outward, not only fixing, but also decorating the hairstyle.
Add bright makeup, cherry earrings and a fluffy skirt or denim overalls to this hairstyle. The image of a confident pin-up girl is ready, you can go for a party in retro style.
