    Huh. Learn something new every day. I always wear it crimp side up. I don't even have any to try!
    But so many decorated bobby pins have the decoration on the crimp side...

    I've always done crimped side up and they have stayed in place, but I also always use 2 pins at 90degree angles so maybe that's why it works for me? Willing to give crimped side down a try to see if it looks better though

    Never in my life have I ever known anyone to put them crimped side up!
    I thought the point to the bobby pin was to be 'unseen' in the grand scheme of the hair-do? So I always match my pins to my hair colour, and place them smooth side up in a concealed position.
