{"product_id":"ekta-matte-black-bharatanatyam-bob-pins","title":"Hair Pin | Hair Accessories","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe vibrant orange card of these Ekta Bob Pins, contrasting with their deep matte black finish, immediately signals the practicality and reliability we seek in essential Bharatanatyam hair accessories. At Shanthi Tailors, we understand that an impeccable classical dance performance, be it an Arangetram or a regular class, hinges on every detail, right down to the secure hold of a dancer's elaborate hair bun. These particular bob pins, with their distinct crimped design, are a staple in our dressing rooms, praised by dancers and costume designers alike for their exceptional grip on even the silkiest hair.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Dancer's Essential Hair Hold\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor Bharatanatyam, Kuchipudi, or any classical dance form, a dancer's hairstyle is part of the costume and must withstand vigorous movements. These Ekta bob pins are chosen specifically for their ability to provide that steadfast hold, ensuring that intricately styled hair remains flawless throughout a long performance or demanding practice session. Their matte black finish blends seamlessly into most hair colors, making them virtually invisible and keeping the focus purely on the dancer's expression and movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e💡 From Our Workshop: Securing Your Dance Bun\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhen creating a traditional Bharatanatyam bun, we always advise using a generous quantity of these ridged bob pins. Instead of pushing them straight in, angle them slightly against the scalp to catch more hair, then push through. The crimped texture of these Ekta pins is designed to create friction, preventing slippage, which is crucial for elaborate styles holding heavy jewellery or flowers. This is the kind of practical advice we've shared with over 10,000 dancers since 1967.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; margin: 15px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align: left; padding: 8px; border-bottom: 1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eAttribute\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align: left; padding: 8px; border-bottom: 1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eValue\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px;\"\u003eType\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px;\"\u003e Hair Pins\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px;\"\u003e \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px;\"\u003e \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px;\"\u003eColor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px;\"\u003eMatte Black\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px;\"\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px;\"\u003eDurable Metal Alloy\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px;\"\u003eDesign\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px;\"\u003eCrimped\/Ridged for enhanced grip\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px;\"\u003eQuantity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px;\"\u003eApprox. 45 pins per card\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px;\"\u003eHold\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px;\"\u003eStrong, Secure\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px;\"\u003eIdeal For\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px;\"\u003eBharatanatyam, Arangetram, Classical Dance, Everyday Styling\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px;\"\u003eCare\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px;\"\u003eStore in a dry place to prevent rust\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top: 30px; padding-top: 20px; border-top: 1px solid #eee;\" class=\"faq-section\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/FAQPage\" itemscope=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 15px;\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\" itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemscope=\"\"\u003e\n\u003ch4 style=\"margin: 0 0 5px 0;\" itemprop=\"name\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: How many Ekta bob pins are included in one pack?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\" itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemscope=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0; color: #555;\" itemprop=\"text\"\u003eA: Each card of Ekta bob pins, as shown in the image, typically contains approximately 45 individual pins.
