<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bluumz, post: 9581763, member: 649&quot;]My ignorance is showing...</p><p>What&#039;s the difference between a hair pin and a hat pin? Hat pins go through a hat and into the hair... are <b>hat</b> pins simply just longer? And/or do <b>hair</b> pins just have a thicker shaft?

I suppose hair pins need to be thicker than hat pins because they are meant to hold the weight of the bundled hair. Whereas hat pins only go into the hair to hold a (presumably light weight) hat in place.</p><p>I would think that a hat pin could easily (and safely) be used in the hair if it was &quot;just for show&quot; and not physically holding a heavy coil of hair in place.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
