How to remove bobby pins damage-free

  1. Place your thumb at the open end of the pin.
  2. Place your index and middle fingers on either side of the closed end.
  3. Use your index and middle fingers to push the hair toward your thumb.

This opens up the pin so that hair doesn’t snag. I don’t know if this is necessary for all hair types, but with my fine, thin hair, I always regret it if I don’t use this method.
