U-pin
U-pins are a type of hairpin. They are also sometimes called screw pins. Unlike other hairpins, U-pins are shaped like a large U, as their name suggests. To use a U-pin, just like other hairpins, you insert the pin into a strand of hair. Compared to other hairpins, this hairpin is larger, making it easier to hold up hair in an updo, such as a bun. For this reason, it is often used when creating hairstyles for traditional Japanese clothing such as kimonos and yukatas.
