    A hairpin is a thin piece of wire folded into a U, used to hold long hair in place — you slide it in so the two arms press the hair together. People with long hair use them to pin a bun, a twist, or a piece that keeps falling down. Some hairpins are plain metal; some have a little decoration on the bend.
