Hair Pins | U Pin 70mm, 45MM | Bharatnatyam Accessories

A: For an Arangetram, where the hairstyle needs to be secure for an extended performance, using both 70mm and 45mm U-pins is advisable. The 70mm pins provide a strong base hold for the braid and extensions, while the 45mm pins are ideal for securing smaller sections and decorative elements like flowers or jewelry.

A: The quantity depends on hair thickness and style complexity. Generally, for a full Bharatnatyam hairstyle, start with 20-30 U-pins (a mix of 70mm and 45mm). Add more as needed to ensure all hair is securely in place, especially around the bun and any added extensions. Remember to check the stability when in Aramandi.

A: Yes, these U-pins are suitable for hairstyles in other Indian classical dance forms like Kuchipudi, Mohiniyattam, and Odissi. While the specific hairstyle may vary, the need for secure pins to hold the hair, extensions, and ornaments remains consistent across these dance forms.

A: Yes, the 70mm U-pins are particularly useful for dancers with thick hair, as they provide a stronger grip and can secure larger sections of hair. However, consider using a higher quantity of both 70mm and 45mm pins to distribute the weight and ensure a firm hold throughout the performance.
