Create an elegant hairstyle in a jiffy with the help of this classic hairpin - a French hair pin. A stylish accessory that keeps your hair in place in a neat bun or updo. Especially suitable for those with long and/or curly hair. Get inspired by Haircoach Eliza, who will show you two different updos.

Classic bun

A simple option to try to get acquainted with your hairpins is a classic bun. Fuller hair requires less prep, e.g., just a texture spray; thinner hair may need some backcombing and possibly a more rigid product for better "grip."

1. Twist the ponytail and "gather" hair from the bun in an up-down motion towards the base of the head.
2. Insert the pin

French twist updo

1. Prep the hair with a texture spray to provide more stability and hold.
2. Hold your hairpin vertically/upright with the "prongs" pointing downwards and wrap the hair around it. One wrap for shorter hair or two wraps for longer hair.
3. Rotate the "prongs" upwards and push the hairpin straight down to secure it.
4. Some hair may require backcombing at the roots for sufficient grip or the use of two hairpins.
5. Loosen some hair at the front as desired!
