Product details

Frenchies Velvet Coated French Hair Pins are velvet‑covered, non‑slip bobby pins designed to secure buns, updos, extensions, and wigs with a discreet brown finish.

These French hair pins combine a flocked microfiber coating and rounded protective tips to hold styles in place without digging into the scalp or catching hair. The set includes 20 pins in two lengths so you can use fewer pins for stronger, more reliable holds. They’re color‑matched to blend with brunette, warm brown, and chestnut tones for a low‑profile look in finished hairstyles.

How do these pins keep hairstyles from slipping?

The velvet coating creates immediate grip along the pin shaft, which helps anchor hair without needing dozens of metal pins. The flocked surface increases friction against hair fibers so each pin holds more securely on contact.

  • Microfiber velvet coating provides enhanced grip
  • Rounded tips protect the scalp and prevent snagging
  • Designed to replace multiple standard pins with one

Will they be comfortable to wear all day?

Yes — the soft, flocked surface and rounded protective ends reduce pressure points and minimize pulling. You get a non‑slip hold without the sharp edges or pinching often associated with bare metal bobby pins.

  • Soft velvet prevents irritation and friction
  • Rounded ends eliminate poking and catching
  • Suitable for long wear during events or daily use

Can these pins handle different hair types and styles?

Frenchies pins are built to work with fine, medium, and thick hair, making them versatile for sleek buns, voluminous updos, and securing extensions or wigs. The pack includes both 2‑inch and 3‑inch lengths to adapt to section sizes and style needs.

  • 10 small 2" pins for finer sections and detail work
  • 10 large 3" pins for thicker sections and foundation hold
  • Effective for buns, French twists, bridal updos, and hairpieces

How visible are these pins in finished hairstyles?

The brown color is matched to blend into brunette and warm brown shades so pins remain discreet in most darker hair tones. Unlike shiny metal pins that catch light, the matte velvet reduces reflectivity and keeps the focus on the style.

  • Matte brown finish hides in brunette and chestnut hair
  • Less reflective than bare metal pins under lights or flash
  • Also available in additional colors for other hair shades

Who this is for: Frenchies Velvet Coated French Hair Pins suit anyone who wants a reliable, invisible hold for polished hairstyles — from brides, stylists, and performers to everyday users with fine or thick hair. They’re particularly helpful when you need a painless, non‑slip solution for buns, updos, French twists, wigs, or hair extensions and prefer using fewer, stronger pins over many standard bobby pins.

FAQ

Q: How many pins do I need for a secure bun?

A: Most buns are secure with 2–3 Frenchies pins because each pin grips more than a standard bobby pin.

Q: Are these pins comfortable for extended wear?

A: Yes. The flocked velvet and rounded tips minimize pulling and prevent poking for long‑wear comfort.
