French Hair Pins Tortoise Shell French Hair Forks U Shaped French Pins 2 Prong Hair Sticks Acetate Chignon Pin for Women Hairstyle Accessories 2 Pack

I have very thick curly hair and my sister has straight hair, this product works great for both of us! Easy to carry in your baga and toss your hair up at a moments notice!

I have a lot of hair and it's smooth, thick but barely wavy. It's about 2 inches past my shoulders in the back. So it doesn't like to stay up even with claw clips, my hair starts slipping out. I just got these but I put one in right away into a French twist and it worked great the first time I put it in, no need to readjust because of snagging or lumps, etc. The edges are nice and smooth which is the first priority for me when buying hair accessories. I haven't had them long but they seem durable and not brittle.

Works o.k. Not great for very thick hair. Need to secure with bobby pins

I have a lot of hair but these don't grip.

Light and attractive, these hair forks are especially welcome to those of us with thin hair.They are priced reasonably ss well.

These hair pins mean I put my hair up in seconds and still look professional. They sturdy but still flexible enough to grab and secure my hair.

Great for buns and French twist.

Not comfortable as there wasn't any instructions so I couldn't get in hair properly

They look just like the photo. Great quality and came the next day!

Pleased wth hair pins, holds up-does securely, pretty pattern

kam rechtzeitig an, war sehr schön verpackt und eignet sich auch sehr gut für lange dichte haare

I bought the ones with the jagged edges and they worked well. Maybe too well. Was pulling my hair too tight and I got a bit of a headache because it was so tightly secured. There are many ways to use it, but the way I use it is I first gather all my hair in a low ponytail, then twist the entire pony tail into a bun, then with the hairpin facing the opposite way of how I'd lime it to look in the final step, jab the sharp point of the hair pin right through from the right side of the bun till it emerges from the left side of the bun. Then I lift the hair pin slightly and turn the sharp pins to face the opposite way and jab the pins through the hair next to the scalp from behind the left side of the bun to the right side. When done this way, it creates a really lovely, neat sort of french twist/bun combination.I have smooth, long, straight, silky East Asian hair which isn't very thick, and this is the only way I can use this pin with it staying securely in my hair all day. There are other ways of securing a bun with this type of hair pin, which cause less tightness and pain and works well for people with wavier or thicker, textured hair. A few reviewers said they couldn't figure out how to make this hair pin work, so I'd recommend watching YouTube videos on how to do so on different types of hair - there are so many ways to keep hair up using these pins ... but for my hair type, many ways don't work on it and the hair pin would fall out of my hair within minutes. Only the way I described above works very well.That said, I can't seem to find a happy compromise between either having this hair pin being way too tight and secured on my hair (thus causing headaches), or having this hair pin in a looser way without falling out of my hair. I wonder if the jagged edges on the pin are catching too much of my hair and thus causing the excessive tightening of my hair when I use it right. Also, removing the hairpin from the hair requires care as the jagged edges catch on to the bun in ways which can hurt if not removed very carefully. For these reasons, I have taken off one star. Another thing is that this hairpin is listed as being constructed from cellulose acetate. Now I know many high end French hand made hair pins not sold on Amazon that cost a lot more, are also made from cellulose acetate, which makes these pins super flexible without breaking. I'm sceptical though that these ones on Amazon are made from the same material? These pins sold on Amazon don't seem very flexible to me, and the fact that some reviewers mentioned it breaking/snapping after a few uses proves it might not be genuine cellulose acetate pins. So you do need to exercise more care when using this, and if you've got thicker, textured hair, then your hair might still break this anyway, and you might be better buying a real French handmade hair pin made of real cellulose acetate, which might cost triple or quadruple the price.I have now gone and bought hair pins that have a straight edge now, and when they arrive, I'll see if they're more forgiving on my hair and scalp and lead to less pain.

The ad says they are 5 inches long but they're barely 4 inches. Super tiny and useless. Will be returning.
