Frenchies Ultra Flocked Extra Soft French Twist Hair Pins: The French Hair Pins for Buns, Updo Hairstyles, Hair Extensions + Wigs - 20 Count Brown

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.

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.

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 amazing. Super pricey but they stick and hold my thick, bulky, straight hair into a bun all day long.

If I could give this 10 stars, I would. Photo attached is after 5-6 hours - 3 hours of ballet class, putting winter gear on and off, commuting, etc. These pins are lifesavers. I can finally make a true ballet bun without 17 pins, 3 products, and despair. The grip is so good, and my hair felt extremely secure. The longevity remains to be seen, but I have high hopes for now. Context: I have the hair type that is very fine and very sleek. I haven’t had success with ANY type of pins or products for updos. I’ve had my hair styled professionally and it fell out within 2-3 hours.
