Hair pins making a comeback, by TEGEN

3 Reasons Why Hair Pins are Making a Comeback

Three reasons hair pins are back in favour: their versatility, how easy they are to style, and their sustainable materials.

Hair pins are quietly finding their way back into our hair routines, and it is easy to see why. Here are three reasons they are enjoying such a lovely revival.

Are hair pins still in style?

There are several reasons why hair pins are regaining popularity. First and foremost, they are wonderfully versatile. Hair pins can be used to create a variety of hairstyles, from sleek updos to relaxed buns. They are also great for securing flyaways and keeping hair in place throughout the day. Hair pins also come in a variety of colours and designs, making them a beautiful accessory as well as a practical one.

1. Versatility of hair pins

Hair pins can be used to create updos, buns and half-up styles. They can secure hair in place, add volume or create texture. Hair pins come in different sizes, shapes and colours, which makes it easy to find the right one for any hairstyle. Our hair pins and chignon pins are made in France, and many have their colours and patterns set within the material itself rather than painted on, so they keep their beauty over time. We have hair pins for all hair types, and our blog on how to use chignon pins goes into more detail.

Hair pins are practical too. They can hold hair in place while you exercise, or keep it out of your face while you cook. With so many styles and sizes, it is easy to find the right one for any occasion.

2. Easy hair styling and practicality

One of the main reasons for the popularity of hair pins is how easy and practical they are. The technique for chignon pins is simple, and with a little practice they become a very quick way to style your hair. Once you have mastered the technique, you can create updos that last all day.

3. Eco-friendly and sustainable

As we all become more conscious of our impact on the environment, sustainability matters to many people. Hair pins are making a comeback partly because they can be a more sustainable alternative to other hair accessories.

Eco-friendly materials

While keeping up with hair trends, it is important to stay as sustainable as possible. Our French Handmade hair pins are handcrafted from cellulose acetate, a strong, plant-based material made to last for years. Each pin is polished by hand to a smooth finish, so it is kind to your hair. Plastic hair pins, by contrast, are less kind to the environment and can break or snag on your hair.
