A pin has a head, but has no hair
Mr Witwould: "Pray, madam, do you pin up your hair with all your letters? I find I must keep copies." Mrs Millamant: "Only with those in verse.... I never pin up my hair with prose."

A pin has as much head as some authors and a good deal more point.
I've met a lot of pin-up girls, but I've never been able to pin one down

The whelps will be in your hair - no, not the shiny hair on your head, well, yes, that hair, but only as a manner of speech.
See a pin and pick it up, and, all day long, you'll have a pin.
