What's a Heroine To Do?

I have been reading and watching some 1940's mysteries lately. And so I ask, what is today's heroine supposed to do without a hair pin?

How is she supposed to open the old wooden box that contains the purloined love letters?
~ or pry forth the hidden drawer in her uncle's desk where the lost will has been hidden all this time?
   ~ or open the locked door behind which lies freedom or the secret to the entire mystery?

Without a hair pin to secure her locks in their complicated coil, and therefore available to her cleverness and wisdom thereby allowing her to solve the mystery, what is a heroine to do?
