Should Bobby pins be hidden in hair?

Madison
I've never really used bobby pins or hair clips until I cut my hair short and now I need them to pin back my bangs at work. I've always just laid them on the top layer of hair. Come to think of it though I've never seen another woman with pins showing in their hair. Have I been a fashion mistake this whole time, or is it ok not to care? 
I mean it's not like it's a secret that hair doesn't naturally do all the cool things pins let us do.
