Styling your hair with French pins

I’ll admit it: I’ve become a little obsessed with French hair pins.

They’re elegant without being precious. Effortless, but never sloppy. The kind of accessory that whispers this is a woman who knows what she’s doing — even when she got dressed in five minutes.

There’s a bit of a learning curve (no one is born knowing how to wield a French pin), but once it clicks, it really clicks. Suddenly your hair feels intentional. Polished. Very cool in a low-key, “oh this old thing?” way.

If you’re looking for beautifully made French hair pins and other handmade hair accessories, you can explore our current collection here—all thoughtfully chosen for both function and style.

I’ve gathered a couple of my favorite video tutorials below to help you master the art of the French hair pin. Watch one or both, practice a little, and don’t be surprised if you find yourself reaching for them every day.

Because once you get it… you get it.
