Frenchies Ultra Flocked Extra Soft French Twist Hair Pins: The French Hair Pins for Buns, Wedding Updo Hairstyles, Hair Extensions + Wigs, 100 Count, Brown, Small (2 inch)

Best hair pins we use! They are great for my dance daughters hair. Keeps it tight and in place.

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.

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.

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.

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.
