Collection: Hair Pins

Choose a shape for your hairstyle

Start with the look you want to create. A hair stick adds a visible accent to a twist or bun, while a U-shaped pin can tuck into the shape of an updo. A fork-style pin has prongs that pass through the hair, making it a useful choice when you want the accessory to blend into the style.

Think about proportion as well as shape: a larger decorative top draws the eye, while a simpler design keeps attention on the hairstyle. Compare the exact measurements on each product page before choosing. The page also lists an estimated Hold level, based on the product's size and construction; use that information as a guide rather than a promise about how it will work in your hair.

How to wear hair pins

For a simple twist, gather your hair at the back and turn it upward or inward, depending on the direction you want the finished style to face. Slide the pin into the twist at an angle, then rotate it so it follows the curve of the hair. Adjust the visible end until the decoration sits where you want it.

To make a bun, gather and coil the hair, then weave the pin through the outer edge of the bun and into the hair underneath. Work slowly and avoid forcing the pin; if it catches, ease it out and try a different angle. A Tapered Two-Prong Wood Hair Fork has a clean, understated look for a simple updo. For a decorative finish, the Acetate Butterfly U-Shaped Hair Pin can sit at the edge of a twist or bun.

Try one accent first, then add another only if the hairstyle has room for it. Pair carved wood designs with simple clothing or jewelry when you want the hair accessory to stand out. For a softer detail, place a floral or faux-pearl style beside a low bun.

Materials and design details

The collection uses wood, acetate, metal, and fabric. Carved wood styles add texture and sculptural detail; the Carved Wood Hair Stick with Crescent Moon Design is one example. Acetate and metal designs offer different finishes and shapes, while some pieces have floral details, faux pearls, crystals, charms, or dangle chains.

Let the detail guide the rest of your accessories. If your pin has pearls or a crystal accent, keep nearby jewelry simple so the details do not compete. A carved or embroidered design can add interest to a plain twist without needing another hair accessory. Check the product page for the exact design and measurements before you decide how it will work with your hairstyle.

Care and storage

Remove a pin gently rather than pulling it through tangled hair. If it resists, loosen the surrounding strands with your fingers and change the angle. Wipe the accessory with a soft, dry cloth after wearing, and store it separately from other pieces to help prevent tangling or surface scratches.

For styles with chains or hanging details, lay the accessory flat before storing it so those parts do not catch on other items. Keep the product page handy if you want to recheck its measurements or estimated Hold level while planning a hairstyle.
