hairpin

A hair ornament used to hold hair in place. Unlike a hairclip, a hairpin lacks a clasping mechanism and simply slides into the hair. It can take the shape of a 'U' or a stick and may have decorative ornaments at one end. The simplest and the most common hairpin is a bobby pin, which is often drawn as a simple line on a lock of hair.
