Collection: Hair Pins for Long Hair

Choose a shape for your updo

For long hair, start with the style you want to see: a smooth low bun, a rounded twist, or a looser, more decorative updo. A fuller twist may call for a pin with a longer shape, while a compact bun may suit a more delicate-looking design. Compare the exact measurements on each product page rather than judging from the photo alone. The page also lists a Hold level, estimated from the pin’s size and construction, to help you compare styles.

Think about whether you want the pin to blend with your hair or draw attention. The Carved Wood Hair Stick with Crescent Moon Design makes its carved detail a focal point, while the Begonia Blossom Wood Hair Stick with Charms brings a floral accent to an updo. Choose the outline that complements your hairstyle, then consider how much decoration you want near your face.

How to wear a hair stick

To make a bun, gather your hair where you want it to sit and twist it into a coil. Wrap the length around the base, keeping one hand on the bun so the shape does not loosen while you place the pin. Insert the stick near the edge of the coil, angle it toward your scalp, then turn it through the bun and catch a small section of the base before guiding the tip back out. Adjust the bun and pin gently until the placement feels comfortable.

For a half-up style, gather only the hair above your ears, twist it once, and use the stick to pass through the twist and the gathered section. Keep the rest of your hair loose to show its length. A design with dangle chains, such as the Double Blossom Wood Hair Stick with Dangle Chains, can add movement; pair it with a simple neckline so the hair detail remains easy to see.

Materials and everyday care

Most styles in this collection are wood, with one metal design. Wood styles have carved or floral details; the metal option features an embroidered butterfly design. Check each product page for its exact measurements and listed details before choosing a pin for a particular bun or twist.

After wearing your hair stick, wipe it gently with a soft, dry cloth and put it away in a dry place. Store decorative pins separately from items that could catch on their shapes or chains. When putting a pin into your hair, guide it through the gathered style without forcing it; if it catches, ease it out and try a slightly different angle. This helps you avoid tugging your hair and keeps the styling process comfortable.
