Frenchies Velvet-Coated French Hair Pins — 20-Count Brown, Non-Slip 2" & 3" Pins for Buns & Updos

Frenchies velvet-coated French hair pins are non-slip, velvet-covered styling pins that secure buns, updos, extensions and wigs with fewer pins and no scalp discomfort.

Designed to replace multiple standard bobby pins, these velvet-coated French pins combine a soft, flocked microfiber finish with a grippy inner shape to lock hairstyles in place. They come in a 20-count mix of 2-inch and 3-inch pins in a warm brown shade intended to blend into brunette and chestnut tones. Rounded protective tips and a velvet surface reduce snagging, slipping, and the need for constant readjustment while offering comfort for all-day wear.

How do these pins hold buns and updos differently from regular bobby pins?

The Frenchies design relies on a textured velvet coating plus a curved French pin shape that grips hair on contact, so each pin provides a stronger hold than a standard flat bobby pin. Instead of using many pins to secure volume, a single Frenchies pin can anchor a section and trap surrounding hair for a stable finish.

• Velvet flocking increases friction to reduce slipping.
• Curved French pin form secures more hair with less movement.
• Includes both 2" and 3" lengths for small and large sections.

Will these be comfortable on my scalp and gentle on extensions or wigs?

Yes — the pins feature rounded protective tips and a soft microfiber coating that help prevent poking, pulling, and fabric or hair fiber damage. The velvet surface cushions contact points so you can wear styles for long periods without irritation while still maintaining a dependable hold.

• Rounded tips reduce scalp pressure and avoid snags.
• Microfiber velvet cushions hair and attachment points.
• Works with natural hair, extensions, and wig bases without tearing.

Which hair types and styles do these pins work best for?

Frenchies pins are engineered to perform across a wide range of textures — from fine, silky hair to thick, voluminous hair. They are especially useful for styles that need structure, like French twists, buns, bridal updos, and securing hairpieces where a discreet, strong hold matters.

• Fine hair: grips without sliding or requiring heavy pin quantity.
• Thick/coarse hair: velvet surface holds bulk and reduces pull.
• Ideal for buns, chignons, updos, and securing wigs or extensions.

How many pins come in the pack and how should I use them for best results?

The package includes 20 pins: ten 2-inch pins for finer detailing and ten 3-inch pins for anchoring larger sections. For most styles, use 2–3 pins strategically placed to anchor the shape instead of crowding the hairstyle with many small pins.

• Use 2-inch pins for edges, small twists, and finishing touches.
• Use 3-inch pins to secure the core of a bun or heavy sections.
• Insert pins with the rounded tips first then cross for added stability.

Who is this for: These velvet-coated French hair pins are aimed at people who want a reliable, discreet hold — brides, stylists, performers, those who wear wigs or extensions, and anyone who dislikes constantly fussing with traditional bobby pins. If you need pins that blend into brown tones, minimize scalp discomfort, and cut down on the number of pins required to hold a style, Frenchies offers a practical solution.
