Frenchies French Twist Hair Pin, Ultra Flocked Extra Soft French Hair Pins for Women, Wedding, Updo Extensions, or Wig, 20 Count, Grey

I love these. I have thin and fine hair and all the hair accessories just slide off and don’t grip the hair. These are smaller and more grippy than normal hair pins and almost invisible once in the hair. Not yet sure of their longevity but so far I’m loving them. Edit: after some use the grippy layer does start to peel off so not fabulous for longevity but I still think they are worth it.

I have very long fine hair and 3 of these pins hold a bun up so nicely and without causing tension or damage. Love these!

Bought on behalf of my mother. She wanted this style of pin specifically and is very happy with the quality of them. Very durable, strong hold, easy to use and look stylish but subdued. The sizing is about right she said, even bought another one!

Expensive (hence 4*) but brilliant hair pins for daughters very thick but fine hair. Holds so well in chignon

I was very sceptical about these pins. £18 for hair pins is crazy. But I could put 20 cheap hairpins in my very fine hair for an up do and it will possibly hold but look and feel awful. I put ONE of these in a basic updo and it felt secure. I would never rely on just one but it felt like I could. Wow. The only issue for me is the two sizes in one pack. I will never need the longer size so paying quite a lot for a pack with both lengths feels wasteful.

These are quite good and dont slip out.

Nice pins

These are superb at keeping my fine and very soft, silky hair up. A real game changer. I balked at the price and was fully prepared to return. I had to eat my words they really are worth every penny

Love that the gray hairpins blend in perfectly with silver hair. Just two or three hairpins will hold my hair in an updo or partial updo, and they’re easy to use and stay put all day because of the flocking. It’s nice to have both large and small sizes - the small ones are great for stray strands on a windy day. They're super light weight, of course, and so work great for finer hair as they add no bulk. The flocking begins to wear eventually, but no complaints - these are still worth it.

Edit: Just a note. The “flocking” or soft coating on the pins doesn’t stay in place (at least for some of the pins). However, the pins continue to be extremely comfortable. They still work as the best pins I have ever used. Wow!! I bought these on a whim. Years ago I used pins that were in the same design, but not “velvet coated”. I’ve been using long bobby pins since then and they worked well. But oh my goodness, the Frenchies Ultra Flocked pins are like a dream to use! My hair is securely in place, and the pins feel wonderful!! Absolutely no pulling, no discomfort, just a lovely sensation. In fact, I don’t feel the pins at all. They are expensive, but they are worth every penny. It’s nice to have the two lengths of the pins. I use the long pins near the base of my French roll and short ones at the top. I am delighted with this purchase.

These are fantastic! I have fine, dead-straight hair, and these keep my ballet buns and French twists in place during ballet classes and dance performances. I got them for a few of the other dancers (with different types of hair), and they all loved them as well.

Great grip, gentle and lightweight! These amazing hair pins are worth the investment. They provide excellent hold. If you have fine hair you have found the solution! Told several friends with different hair textures and styles and they love them like I do. So easy! They blend in and will hold all day (even in windy conditions). TOP TIP: avoid use on wet hair to preserve the flocking.

If you have hair extensions, these pins are fantastic. They aren’t painful and hold perfectly. I use both the small and large ones daily with no issues.
