Frenchies Velvet Coated French Hair Pins — 20 Count Black (10×2" + 10×3") Non‑Slip, Soft Grip

Frenchies Velvet Coated French Hair Pins are velvet‑finished bobby pins designed to hold buns, updos, and twists securely with fewer pins and no slipping.

These black, flocked hair pins combine a soft microfiber velvet exterior with a secure wire core so styles stay in place without the shine or discomfort of bare metal pins. The set includes twenty pins — ten 2-inch small pins and ten 3-inch large pins — giving you options for fine sections or fuller, heavier styles. Because the velvet grips hair on contact, you can often use two to three pins instead of many more, making styling faster and cleaner-looking.

How do these pins keep hair from sliding out during the day?

The microfiber velvet coating creates immediate friction against hair strands so pins lock in place at insertion. Combined with a sturdy metal wire core and coated rounded tips, they resist shifting without digging into the scalp. You get all‑day hold for buns, French twists, and pin-up styles without repeated adjustments.

• Velvet flocking increases grip on both fine and coarse hair.
• Sturdy wire core maintains shape under tension.
• Rounded, coated tips reduce snagging and pulling when inserted.
• Matte black finish prevents light reflection and stays discreet.

Will these pins cause scalp irritation or discomfort?

No—these pins are designed to be gentle while offering a strong hold. The rounded ends are covered in a smooth coating (plastic/rubber/resin) that stays bonded to the tip and prevents poking. The soft velvet exterior further cushions contact with hair and scalp compared with uncoated metal pins.

• Rounded, coated tips minimize scalp poking and hair snagging.
• Flocked velvet surface reduces friction against skin compared to bare metal.
• Designed to glide into place for comfortable insertion and removal.

Are these pins suitable for both thin and thick hair?

Yes—the velvet coating grips a wide range of hair textures, so the same pin will secure fine strands without sliding and hold dense hair without bending. The kit provides two lengths so you can choose shorter pins for delicate sections and longer pins for voluminous buns or heavy updos. Because each pin holds more, you’ll typically need fewer pins even with thicker hair.

• Ten 2" pins for precision and finer sections.
• Ten 3" pins for larger sections and heavier styles.
• Effective on straight, wavy, curly, and coily hair types.

How do these black pins compare visually to bare metal options?

Frenchies velvet pins are matte black to blend into dark hair, remaining discreet in buns and updos. Unlike polished metal pins that can catch light and stand out, the non‑reflective velvet keeps attention on your style rather than your hardware. If you need other shades, Frenchies also offers brown, blonde, grey, and red options to match different hair colors.

• Matte black color minimizes visibility in dark hair.
• Velvet finish prevents reflective shine common with metal pins.
• Available in multiple colors for tailored matching.

Who this is for: These Frenchies Velvet Coated French Hair Pins are for anyone who wants a secure, low‑profile way to hold buns, French twists, updos, and everyday pinned styles—especially people who dislike slipping pins, visible metal, or scalp pokes. They work well for busy professionals, dancers, brides, hairstylists, and anyone with fine to very thick hair looking to simplify styling with fewer, more effective pins.
