France Luxe Notched Chignon Pin, Tortoise

France Luxe Notched Chignon Pin, Tortoise

• Tortoise Finish: This French hair pin features a vivid, glass-like tortoiseshell finish in glowing amber and deep red-orange tones that catches the light with every turn, giving it a glossy amber tortoiseshell look. Its U-shaped body is cut from a single piece of cellulose acetate, with small notches along the inner edge of each leg that lock securely into thick or heavy hair. Handmade in France, each pin is cut and polished by hand, so the pattern varies slightly piece to piece, making it a one-of-a-kind detail.
• How It Works: This U-shaped French hair pin is cut from a single piece of cellulose acetate, with small notches running along the inner edge of each leg. Cross the two legs through a twisted bun or chignon and the notches catch and lock into your hair, so the pin stays anchored instead of sliding loose throughout the day.
• Best Suited For Thick or Heavy Hair: At 5.25 inches long, this hair pin is built to anchor generous, thick, or heavy sections of hair that shorter pins can't hold. The notches that make it so secure also mean it takes a gentle wiggle to remove, so plan on easing it out slowly rather than pulling it straight out; once you get the motion down, it becomes second nature.
• Effortless Everyday to Elegant Updos: Twist your hair into a chignon, French twist, or low bun and cross the two legs through the twist to finish the look in seconds. The polished acetate finish is elegant enough for a wedding or evening out, yet simple enough to wear as your everyday hair pin for work, workouts, or running errands.
• Handcrafted French Craftsmanship: Made in France from durable cellulose acetate, this hair pin is cut and polished by hand, so each one carries slight natural variation in its pattern that makes it feel a little more special than a mass-produced hair stick. It also makes a thoughtful gift for anyone who collects French hair pins, chignon pins, or hair forks, especially alongside other France Luxe pieces in a matching finish.
