The Quinn Bobby Pins are a set of five, made in New York and feature hand-painted rhodium-plated or gold-plated brass flowers on durable steel bobby pins, designed to stay firmly in place, once other pins have the hairstyle securely fastened. We recommend treating each pin as you would a piece of jewelry, and storing it in the dust bag when not in use. Avoid contact with water, perfume, and other chemicals, including hairspray, which should be used before placement in the hair.
