How to Style a French Pin in Your Hair
If you have fine, medium length hair, it can be difficult to know how to use a French pin.
Tools and materials:
- French pin
It’s very smooth and doesn't grip the hair well unless you do it this way. It works every time for me.
1. Ponytail
Gather your hair into a low ponytail.
2. Wrap
Lift the ponytail up towards the back of your head with one hand and wrap it around the thumb of the other hand.
3. Twist
Keep the wrapped section over your thumb and twist it clockwise.
4. Spiral
Keep hold of the loose ends and use your thumb to spiral the hair to the back of your head.
5. Pin
Push the French pin horizontally into your hair from the right until the tips of the pin are visible on the other side.
6. Swivel
Keep the pin horizontal.
Swivel it across the back of the spiral so the tips circle behind the spiral in a clockwise direction.
Continue until the top of the French pin is flat against the other side of your head.
Push the tips into your hair from the left side.
7. Fan
Fan out the top of the spiraled hair and arrange it to one side.
