Hair pins hold buns, French twists and updos in place with less bulk than a clip. This collection covers U-shaped pins, from plain pins for everyday styling to decorative pins finished with pearls or metal details.
A U-shaped pin slides into a bun and holds by tension, so you can use one statement pin or several plain ones depending on how much hair you have. Orders ship within the US, with free shipping on orders of $79 or more.
Use U-shaped pins to hold a bun or French twist, because the open prongs grip by tension and slide in without pinching. Use bobby pins to fix small sections flat against the head. Decorative pins with pearls or metal leaves do the same job as a U-pin with a finished look for events.

A bobby pin is closed and springs shut to clamp a small section flat. A U-shaped hair pin is open and holds by tension inside a bun or twist.
It depends on hair volume. Many buns hold with four to six U-pins pushed in around the edge, or with a single large bun pin.
