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

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. 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.

Yes expensive but worth it. I haven't had any issues with peeling. According to the reviews the peeling happens when you have wet hair. You definitely shouldn't use this with wet hair seeing as it has a velvet texture. I've used so many hair pins. This is the very best, no slip at all they are also comfortable, no pain or scalp stabbing. I have dark brown hair and wanted to get the brown but they looked like they had a red tint, more of an auburn. I wish they had more natural colors to choose from. I ended up getting the black. Overall good product

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.

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!
