Pop quiz: how are you doing all of your hair lately? Proper now, my nine-month-old child Emiliano is in that “seize and tug every thing” part, so I’ve been looking for kinds that maintain my hair out of attain.
For the previous 12 months, I’ve been a fan of claw clips (put on my hair like Rachel Inexperienced? Sure, please.) However these days, I’ve been seeing photographs of ladies with smooth buns and romantic twists, and peeking out the highest is the elegant curve of a French pin. Listed here are a number of:

(Should you do a twist on air dried hair and have layers, a pair layers will poke out, leaving you with a fairly tousled look.) Listed here are tutorials for lengthy and quick hair.
Subsequent I attempted a high knot. I noticed that, to make it final, you need to hook the pin into the piece of the bun that’s above the bun tail, then weave the pin beneath the tail and straight into your bun. This method anchors your hair down. I actually like this TikTok video, which supplies step-by-step directions.
Lastly, maintain the pin poking out. A part of the appeal is seeing the beautiful pin on the high, don’t you assume? I’ve been loving the maintain of this Goal one, and I even have my eye on this cool tortoise quantity.
