This Article Needs Work!

[edit]

This article needs some serious work! There are many different types of hairpins, only two of which are represented here on Wikipedia. Furthermore, there are other types of devices for controlling/managing one's hair which are not represented at all, such as the wooden pins that go through the leather leaf to hold one's hair at the back of one's head. I don't know what they're called, which is why I was looking for them on Wikipedia. I think all of them should be in one Article, along with pictures of each. 75.70.245.140 (talk) 18:36, 21 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hairpin (fashion)Hairpin – The fashion accessory is the primary use, everything else is named in reference to it. The disamb page should be moved/merged back into Hairpin (disambiguation) – Don Cuan (talk) 03:57, 27 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This is a contested technical request (permalink). Don Cuan (talk · contribs) WP:PTOPIC specifically says being the original topic for a term is not enough to justify it being the primary topic. Calidum 04:04, 27 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The above discussion is preserved as an archive of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page or in a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

Merge Bobby pin

[edit]

I hope this isn't procedurally confusing, however I propose Bobby pin merge with this article.Pincrete (talk) 19:49, 28 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Bobby Pin is too long to comfortably merge in. In veritas (talk) 04:04, 28 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Support merge content merge would make this a more comprehensive and worldwide topic --NickPenguin(contribs) 00:11, 27 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Missing the single most common type of contemporary hairpin

[edit]

In industrialized nations of the 21st century, the most common and inexpensive type of hairpin one may encounter, e.g. in a grocery store, is very similar to a bobby pin but with open prongs. There are many blog articles talking about how these are hairpins and not bobby pins, e.g. this one (you can find many more searching for "bobby pins hairpins"). Given how common these are compared to the fancy and/or historic ones, there should at least be picture of one in the gallery. Perhaps also a sentence about them, but I personally have no idea where they fit in in the history of hairpins: Did they evolve from bobby pins or was it the other way round? --LCharg (talk) 20:41, 17 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Actually scratch that part about writing about them, the article already talks about them: "but modern versions are more likely to be constructed from different lengths of wire that are bent in half with a u-shaped end and a few kinks along the two opposite portions." Fair enough. Still, a picture & perhaps some history on those would be nice. --LCharg (talk) 20:47, 17 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
