Fine silver hair pins are a great way to hold up your flowing mane! They work great for a quick messy bun or a more sophisticated updo. Each hair pin is about 4 1/2 inches in length and has a matte finish. They really do hold hair well. I have almost waist length hair and I can put my hair up in the morning and not think about it until bed…..truth be told I have even worn mine to bed before!
