Frenchies Velvet Coated French Hair Pins — 20 Count Black, Non-Slip Curved Pins for Buns & Updos

Frenchies Velvet Coated French Hair Pins are velvet‑covered, non‑slip hair pins designed to secure buns, updos, extensions and wigs with fewer pins and no scalp discomfort.

These French hair pins combine a soft flocked velvet finish with a curved French design so each pin grips hair on contact and stays put. The set includes twenty pins — ten 2" small pins and ten 3" large pins — finished in matte black to blend into dark hair. They’re made for both everyday styling and special occasions where a discreet, strong hold matters.

How do these pins keep buns and updos from falling out?

The curved French shape tucks into hair and locks strands without relying on friction from bare metal alone. The micro‑velvet coating increases surface grip so each pin holds more hair than a conventional bobby pin.

• Curved design anchors inside buns and twists for mechanical hold.
• Velvet flocking creates added friction without tugging the hair.
• Rounded tips protect the scalp while enabling secure placement.

Will they work on both fine and thick hair?

Yes — the velvet finish adapts to different textures by gripping individual strands and bundled sections equally well. Because the pins secure hair on contact, you often need fewer pins for a dependable result.

• Fine hair: grips strands without slipping or sliding out.
• Thick hair: large 3" pins hold heavier sections and full buns.
• Combination styles: use small pins for detail, large ones for structure.

Are these pins comfortable to wear for long periods?

The flocked microfiber surface feels soft against the scalp, and each pin has a rounded tip to prevent poking or snagging. That means extended wear—like a long day, event, or shift—without the usual discomfort from bare metal pins.

• Rounded protective ends reduce pressure points on the scalp.
• Soft velvet coating prevents hair pulling and breakage.
• Designed to remain hidden and smooth under styles.

How many pins do I need for a secure style?

Because each Frenchies pin holds more hair, most styles require only 2–3 pins versus multiple standard pins. The kit supplies a mix of 2" and 3" pins so you can choose the right length for the section and hairstyle.

• Simple bun or twist: 2–3 pins for a secure hold.
• Full or heavy bun: use several large 3" pins for structure.
• Detailing and finishing: small 2" pins for loose pieces and edges.

Who is this for? These Frenchies Velvet Coated French Hair Pins suit anyone who wants an invisible, dependable hold—bridal parties, hairstylists, people who wear wigs or extensions, and anyone with fine, thick, or mixed hair textures. They’re especially useful when you need a sleek, long‑lasting style without visible metal or scalp discomfort.
