Kristin Ess French Pin Set of 2 - U Shaped French Hair Pins for Buns, Chignons, Wedding Updo Hairstyles and Top Knots - Hair Styling Accessories for Women - Gold

Note, these minis work together. I use both to reliably hold my hair. They hide well, if you don't want them seen. They can also peek out subtly. Love them!I also bought the full size, and need only one to do the trick, but you can see it sticking out. I don't mind because it is stylish and decorative. But with the minis, I have the option of hiding them.Overall a quality brand. Durable metal and the color does not fade or peel. It works surprisingly well on my straight, slippery hair.

These are more elegant than pencils and hold buns well. Well finished, smooth, shiny and strong gold-colored metal. Just as pictured. For my fine long hair I prefer the smaller Kristin Ess metal pins inserted sideways in a french twist. But if you have a lot of thick, maybe curly hair, just one of these pretty pins would probably work for you.

I wish these were one inch shorter, they’re so long they reach from the top of my head all the way to the hairline on my neck. It makes them slightly uncomfortable as I either have to use them sideways, have them stick out a bit, or feel them poke my neck every once in a while. Design and style is beautiful and they’ve held up well to use, just needs to be slightly smaller

These french pins are my favorite! I have about 15-20 floating around the house and in bags and purses. I prefer the gold and matte black. I have long, course hair which gives a strong hold. They are stylish and comfortable: I even sleep in them! Very lightweight and easy to use! Good value and highly recommend!

So much of what is on the market is not high quality. This meets the high standard that I look for. Sturdy, strong, no chipping or color fade. Nicely done. Thank you.

These are nice looking, and the learning curve is not as tough as I expected! They're not as stiff as I would prefer, though, so sometimes my hairstyle shifts dramatically as soon as I let go of it. That's a little annoying. I'll probably invest in a better quality French pin next time, but these were decent for getting started.

Really good hold!!Very durable!!Good size!!

I've used these hairpins consistently for months now. I don't remember now where I first saw them but I was definitely influenced by someone to try these. So glad because they create a french like twist that stays all day and looks effortless (because it practically is) sleek and sophisticated. I would usually use a claw clip but everything was uncomfortable as it sticks out so far. Driving i'd have to take it down so i could rest my head, flying, again take it down. Sit on the couch to watch tv, take it down. Ugh! This french pin sits flat against my head and is so comfortable I can't even feel it. I can even wear a hat with it. A matte black or gold are the metals that I have used and they look great with everything. I have shoulder length hair and they work perfectly. With longer hair there would be no issue. Your hair just needs to be long enough to create a sort of twist to put the pin through. Something so simple yet it makes me feel put together in a way I didn't before.
