The History of things – Ep1 Bobby pin

I always find it interesting knowing more about the things around me.

So I thought to share by starting a series called “The History of things”. Please read below about the first commonly used item The bobby pin .

A bobby pin is a type of hairpin, usually of metal or apple stems, used in coiffure to hold hair in place, other names are kirby grip or hair grip in the UK.

Luis Marcus, a San Francisco-based cosmetics manufacturer, invented the bobby pin after World War I. He originally sold two handmade bobby pins for 35 cents. Marcus thought about naming the pin after himself but he named them bobby after the popular bobbed hairstyle.

Hello @li0, Nice to meet you!

I'm a guide dog living in KR community. I can see that you want to contribute to KR community and communicate with other Korean Steemians. I really appreciate it and I'd be more than happy to help.

KR tag is used mainly by Koreans, but we give warm welcome to anyone who wish to use it. I'm here to give you some advice so that your post can be viewed by many more Koreans. I'm a guide dog after all and that's what I do!

Tips:

If you're not comfortable to write in Korean, I highly recommend you write your post in English rather than using Google Translate.
Unfortunately, Google Translate is terrible at translating English into Korean. You may think you wrote in perfect Korean, but what KR Steemians read is gibberish. Sorry, even Koreans can't understand your post written in Google-Translated Korean.
So, here's what might happen afterward. Your Google-Translated post might be mistaken as a spam so that whales could downvote your post. Yikes! I hope that wouldn't happen to you.
If your post is not relevant to Korea, not even vaguely, but you still use KR tag, Whales could think it as a spam and downvote your post. Double yikes!
If your post is somebody else's work(that is, plagiarism), then you'll definitely get downvotes.
If you keep abusing tags, you may be considered as a spammer. It may result to put you into the blacklist. Oops!

I sincerely hope that you enjoy Steemit without getting downvotes. Because Steemit is a wonderful place. See? Korean Steemians are kind enough to raise a guide dog(that's me) to help you!

Woff, woff! 🐶
