“This chignon pin is really good it’s very easy to use and I have long thick hair. The lady at the checkout admired the way my hair was held in place so perfectly, she said she couldn’t achieve it so as there was no one waiting I took my hair down and showed her how I did it and what was holding it so perfectly. She said she would get some” - Susan 

You may be wondering ‘Do French pins work on fine hair?’, well the answer is absolutely, yes! When you have fine hair, using a hair pin is preferred because it prevents damage and hair breakage which can occur more with finer hair types compared to using elastics that tug and pull at your hair.

It is important to know which hairpins are most suitable for your fine hair type and we have rated the 6x small Chignon Pins as the No.1 Hairpins for fine hair. You can build these pins up to hold fine silky hair by putting a few down the side of the twist to secure it all day long. 

“These are great and keep their hold all day. I have very fine hair and they really work, also the grey is so good with my grey hair.” - Teresa

"My first chignon pin, and it WORKS which I wasn't expecting. I love the colour too." - Elizabeth

This set of hairpins are ideal for short hair lengths as they are small enough to hold short layered hair. They really are the No 1. Hairpins for the perfect updo when you have less hair to create styles with. Simply twist your hair round into a French Pleat and one by one secure your hair pins along the side of your pleat to hold it in place.

“These are terrific.  Very smooth to go in and get out agin, and a great length for my thick, strong hair.  My bun stays up and in until I want to take it down again at the end of the day.  Previous chignon pins from other brands this size  bough on line snapped at the 'bend' on first or second use, all broken within a week of use.  these are lasting the pace.  I would recommend these and will buy again to have as spares.  good to have a choice of colours too.” - Alison
