Collection: Silver Hair Pins

Choose a shape for your hairstyle

Start with the finish you want. A hair stick adds a decorative point to a twist or bun, while a U-pin has a forked shape that can be worked into a gathered style. The Embroidered Butterfly Metal Hair Stick gives a twist a focal detail; the Faux Pearl Silver-Tone Metal U-Pin Hair Fork adds a pearl accent.

Think about scale as well as shape: a smaller-looking detail can feel subtle in a half-up style, while a more visible piece can draw attention to a bun. Exact measurements are on each product page, so compare them with the amount of hair you plan to gather. Product pages also list a Hold level, estimated from size and construction; use that as a guide when deciding which style to try.

How to wear a hair stick or U-pin

For a hair stick, gather your hair into a low twist or bun and turn the twist until it sits where you want it. Slide the stick through the outer edge of the twist, angle it across the gathered hair, then turn it back toward the scalp and tuck the end into the style. Adjust the twist by hand before settling the stick into place.

For a U-pin, gather and shape your hair first. Place one side of the pin near the edge of the bun or twist, then rotate the pin so the prongs travel through the gathered hair and back toward the scalp. Tuck the ends into the style and check the shape from the front and sides. If you are new to pins, try the placement over a mirror and make small adjustments rather than forcing the pin through a tight section.

Style and care

Pair a silver-tone pin with a simple twist when you want the accessory to stand out, or use it with a half-up style to add detail without changing the rest of your look. The pearl U-pin can complement pearl jewelry; the butterfly hair stick works as a decorative accent with a neat bun. Keep the rest of your accessories simple if you want the pin to be the main detail.

Handle metal pins gently when putting them in or taking them out, and avoid pulling them through tangled hair. Wipe the metal and faux pearl detail with a soft, dry cloth after wearing. Store each pin separately so it does not rub against other accessories, and keep it away from water, hair products, and perfume when possible.
