in the 1920's when the flappers cut their hair..
it was called " bobbing your hair" ( cutting your hair)
bobbie pins were invented back then to control hair that had been bobbed ( cut).

Because a girl named Bobby got her hair chopped short a long time ago. Her dad was a hairdresser and invented Bobby pins to help keep the wispy pieces back while her bob grew out.

Bobby pins and bobby socks both derive their names from their origins in the uniforms of English police officers, known as bobbies--just kidding!
