A hair pin is one of the simplest ways to create an effortless bun — once you know how to use it.
Unlike an elastic or a traditional clip, a hair pin works by weaving through the bun and catching a small section of hair underneath. The result is secure, comfortable and intentionally undone.
How to use a hair pin
1. Gather your hair
Pull your hair back as if you were making a ponytail. You can keep it sleek or leave a few strands loose around the face.
2. Twist your hair into a bun
Twist the length of your hair and wrap it around itself to create your bun. Hold the bun in place with one hand.
3. Insert the hair pin
Slide the hair pin into the outer edge of the bun, pointing slightly away from your head.
4. Turn and secure
Turn the hair pin back toward your scalp, catching a small section of hair underneath the bun as you push it through.
This movement is what creates the hold.
5. Adjust the finish
Loosen the bun slightly for a softer, effortless look, or keep it tighter for a more polished silhouette.
Why use a hair pin?
A hair pin can hold the hair without the visual weight of a large clip or elastic. It turns the bun itself into part of the look while leaving room for a jewelry detail.
FATALE reimagines the traditional hair pin with a handcrafted walnut base and interchangeable jewels.
One base can be worn with Honoré, Claire or Charlotte, allowing you to change the jewelry detail depending on your outfit, occasion or mood.
The FATALE way
The idea is simple: secure your bun first, then let the jewel become part of the hairstyle.
From an everyday twisted bun to an evening updo, the same hair pin can move between different looks — and the interchangeable jewel can change with it.
