A hairpin is an implement for securing a hairstyle and/or decorating the hair. There are two-pronged hairpins which are usually “U” shaped with parallel and equal sides. These are pushed into the hair to help secure the styling and can have a decorative element or pendant. Single prong “stick-like” hairpins generally have a decorative knob or ornament at one end atop a spear-like stick that pokes through a hairstyle providing ornament and security.
