How to choose the right one
- Not sure about her hair? The claw clip is the most forgiving. A French pin works best on hair around shoulder length or longer.
- Thick or very long hair? Two French pins share the weight better than one.
- Not sure about color? Tortoiseshell pattern and Black are the easiest to match with any outfit.
- Want to add a how-to? Send her our step-by-step guide: How to Use a French Hair Pin.
Good to know before you gift
- Wrapping: we don't currently offer gift wrapping, so plan to wrap it yourself.
- Returns: unworn items in their original packaging can be returned within 30 days of delivery. Hair accessories that have been worn can't be returned unless they're defective, so suggest she keeps the packaging until she's sure.
- Shipping: we ship to US addresses only. You'll get a tracking number by email as soon as your order ships.
- For adults: these are adult hair accessories, not toys, and small pieces can be a choking hazard for young children.
