This geometric hair pin is quick and easy to use so that you can have a fun, trendy hair style in seconds as you run out the door! No hair tie or bobby pins needed! Just a metal circle. Simply weave the hair stick through the pin, under the hair you want to secure and back through the pin. Each hair pin is mounted on a custom designed card and then neatly pack into a clear plastic sleeve.

- TIPS -
The more hair you catch up with the hair stick, the more securely it will hold back your hair. And it really does a great job at it! I've even rock climbed while wearing this piece and it's held it wonderfully! I would say, if you have a hard time getting hair ties, bobby pins, or clips to stay in your hair, this piece will probably be no exception. But if you have average to coarse hair, it will hold it with no problem! I'm here to help if you have any questions or need advice!

- How it's made -
I begin by hand forming the metal into the right shape and then solder the ends together to form an endless piece. Next, I have to clean it up, often using a solution to remove fire scale from soldering, using an abrasive and then tumbling every piece. I then hand hammer the hair pin to strengthen it, flatten it, and give it a little texture. Each and every one is made completely by hand with a whole lotta love.

- About the metal -
Brass:
Brass is a great, affordable alternative to gold. Although it will darken over time (kinda like sterling silver does), the gold color will never wear off, unlike plated metals, and it's easy to shine it up again too! Simply rub the metal gently with a jewelry polishing cloth.
Silver: The silver pins are made of solid argentium silver (93.5% pure silver) which is stronger, more tarnish resistant, and also more expensive than traditional sterling.
