Secure, comfortable, and durable
I bought this set of simple styling pins so I'd have something I could use on the fly to put my long hair into a quick updo on hot days. They turned out to be the perfect accessory, holding my hair so securely that I can't shake it loose if I try but can effortlessly let it down by removing the pin. One pin is enough for my fairly fine hair, but someone with thick or very long hair may need two pins to secure a bun or chignon.<br /><br />The pins are also quite sturdy, resisting even a concerted effort to bend them out of shape. The natural curve follows the shape of my head so they're comfortable to wear all day. The metallic finish is slightly irregular on the sides, but it isn't enough to snag or catch on my hair, and this part is invisible when worn anyway. For the price, these are far higher quality than I expected, so a little irregularity on some of the pins is fine by me.<br /><br />These pins are so great, I'm going to pick up more just to have some spares as I inevitably lose some or hand them out to friends while saying, "you have to try these!"
