Explanation:
[STC004073] In North America, we refer to them as bobby pins, whilst their counterparts in the United Kingdom refer to them as kirby-grips (also spelled kirbigrip). The origin of the phrase “hairpin” in the United States is unclear, but it may have something to do with the short, bobbed hairdo that was common during the 1920s, which was also the decade that saw the widespread adoption of hairpins. The name of its English producers, Kirby, Beard & Co., is how the word “kirby-grip” became common parlance in the United Kingdom. Pins and needles were the company’s first big hits, but they eventually expanded into the jewelry industry as well. Many other hair terms vary depending on which side of the Atlantic you’re on: bangs in America are ‘fringe’ in Britain, while a hair tie is a ‘bobble,’ and headband is an ‘Alice band,’ possibly after ‘Alice in Wonderland.’
