4 EASY Ways to use a French Pin 🌸

[@joyceshields9156]

My hair has been the bane of my life until I finally went gray. The texture completely changed and became soooo much more manageable. I let it grow out and have been French braiding it for a few years now. I’ve recently discovered French pins and some of your other videos worked, but these are the best! I’m 73 and finally love my hair. The last 2 are super easy and glamorous. Thank you for simple to follow, elegant uses of French pins!

[@duskydancing6409]

I love my mom to pieces, but she's not the super feminine type and never really taught me how to do my hair. These videos are a godsend for women like me who are late bloomers when it comes to hair styling. Thank you!!

[@jasmijnariel]

Haha 38y old here... only thing i know is a ponytail, in 3 different ways, but all starting with the same basic pony

[@ew7512]

Same. My mom never put a lick of makeup or nail polish on, cut her own hair in the same short style all her life, and dressed mostly from llbean. Totally cool that that was her style, but I like looking a bit more feminine and like you didn't learn such things from her. Glad for KZbin tutorials. 🙂

[@vekhabeauty]

Same!

[@AlexGaboury]

This might just be one of my favourite hair tutorials ever, I hope you enjoy!💕

[@kristaoregonian9971]

Loved them!! ~ 😍

[@CroDalm01]

Loovveee this 😍😍😍😍 if only those pins were available over here on my end 😭

[@changdev3819]

I do enjoy n try as well

[@MrWhangdoodles]

This is so much more comfortable than other methods I have used. I am new to this whole styling of the hair since I'm a guy who recently grew out his hair. There is so much to do and see! Thank you for this tutorial!

[@shy_mooncat]

These are so cute! I totally have some french pins that I never use because I wasn't really sure how to! How perfect is this 😍

[@AlexGaboury]

How perfect! Let me know how they turn out! ❤️

[@nicolasbouchet]

@@AlexGaboury the third look is the best ans i'll remark than certains youtubers try to imitate you but you are the only one for all your viewers.best tuto on your channel.

Did anybody else cry when they finally got it to hold 🙋🏼‍♀️

[@AlexGaboury]

🤣🙌🏻

[@thatonewierdo1180]

THIS👏🏼HELPED👏🏼SO👏🏼MUCH👏🏼 After a little bit of maneuvering it held great definitely a must have

[@AlexGaboury]

You have made my day!!

[@Cc-fj9bf]

The best tutorial yet. I’ve been struggling trying to use my hair fork and after the first 3 minutes of this video, I now have it secured in my bun 🥰 thank you!

[@jeank9981]

I don't believe I have ever seen a more beautiful head of hair. I love these styles! 💕💕

[@barbarah-p8661]

I have super silky, slippery hair, and this even holds my hair. Thanks for the video!

[@realeenportillo401]

You inspired me to purchase these and I love them!! 😆 I work in food and have to wear my hair up everyday and these seem so much less damaging than elastics. I was a little skeptical because my hair is super thick and long (reaches my lower back) but 1 pin feels super secure in my hair! For the lefties out there I found it easier to bring it in on the left side rather the right. So cute! Love your videos😊

[@sanlyn9]

You’re my hero. I am a leftie. I spent a ridiculous amount of time trying and failing at this yesterday, convinced it was my skill level. I tried it from the left and it IMMEDIATELY worked on the first try. Now I’m questioning every hairstyle I’ve tried and failed at, realizing they were probably all designed for someone right handed.

[@saralenington1589]

Thanks for showing simple hairdos for us who need the help!!! 🥰

[@0216chw]

My favorite! French pins are so elegant!

[@michellem-e7p]

I had the hair pins come with her pillow case that I got around Christmastime and I couldn’t figure out how to use them!!!! Thank you for this!!!!

[@AlexGaboury]

They're so good once you get the hang of them! 💕

[@choices4good]

I'm a guy with long hair and I love these styles for my hair. I've been wondering how to use these French pins for 2 months. Thank you.

[@zumerkadri6019]

The half up knot was a fave

[@Jormitchell18]

I just purchased these from target on a whim because I’m all about Kristin Ess. Found your video and I’m so happy I did! You’re adorable and you made this video so easy to understand. Thank you!!!

[@valerieharris8273]

I'm ditching elastic hair ties because they are awful for my fine hair. This tutorial is going to be helpful for my hair fork/pin journey 😆

[@Blessed-2-b-a-Hembree]

Reminds me of my grandmother’s using hairpins to pin up their very long hair into buns. This was the 1960s. My husband’s grandmother was still pinning her long hair up in the 1990s. She was much younger than my grandmothers. I’m definitely going out to buy some hairpins.

[@AlexGaboury]

This is so lovely, I hope you were able to get your hands on some!

[@Kim-nj3hy]

How often do you wash your hair to keep it so healthy while using heat often especially since it’s so frizz free???? Love your hair!!!! It’s gorgeous!!!

[@AlexGaboury]

I just uploaded a hair tips video, I tried to cover all these questions for you! 💕

[@Tsunad360]

I use hair oil to protect my hair. When i straighten

[@amandabertheau2150]

I only watch this so I can see the hair and the hairstyle skills I'll never get

[@Bunny_Baroness]

the double knots look like roses 😊

[@janeni9555]

Wow I can’t believe this actually worked. Usually I suck at doing fancy hairstyles

[@exp-io853]

You made me buy this u-pin french clip i am not complaining i love it..using a normal pencil won't stay for long and this is cute it doesn't hold my hair hard...no more stress from the tightness

[@mountaincraig9460]

The double knotted bun is super cute!

[@denisedobie6504]

Thank for showing how to use hair forks. I’ve had mine for a year they wouldn’t stay in my hair which is long and think. Awesome!

[@kristinabertrand7730]

Beautiful hairstyles with the French pin love them all and love to see more Alex!!!💞🤗❤️🌼

[@AlexGaboury]

Most definitely! 🤗❤️

[@Mehreen.j]

[@i_love_shiny_things]

I love making & wearing hair forks! Super comfortable and look so pretty! 🥰 Xx

[@drmariafunicello]

Yes, more on the hair forks! Thank you!!

[@tinasenglishchannel4482]

Thank you very much !i finally made a french bun for the first time in my life after following your tutorial, this is like a dream come true ! I used to feel frustrated because i always want to make a french bun but don't know how to .

[@trishpipkins]

Wow! These give such a classic yet refreshing look! And bonus! They'll work with my crazy, curly hair! I am a sucker for the rose gold, too. Also I am attempting a Target run tomorrow morning. Wish me luck. I need toilet paper and everyone has been fighting over it at all the stores here. The world has gone mad! 🤦‍♀️ But now I can also look for these hair forks. So I am actually looking forward to that part. 💖💖💖

[@AlexGaboury]

Omg these would look so great in your crazy curly hair, I am actually so jealous right now! Haha I hope you were able to get your hands on them, and on TP the shelves are still bare over here. 💕

[@trishpipkins]

Alex Gaboury I did get tp. But then I left because it was insane there. Stay safe!!

[@TSwonderstruck13]

I'm obsessed with these styles, omg. I need to get my hands on a hair fork so I can recreate them! Perfect for spring and work!

[@AlexGaboury]

The hair forks are so great, I can't wait to wear them once the weather warms up! 💕

[@ElizabethYateshair]

Sooo beautiful!!! Cant wait to see more! Yes on another tutorial

[@lisagd22]

You have such beautiful thick hair! This is a great tutorial. Your instructions are so detailed and you do the steps slowly enough that I can see and understand what you're doing. I'm going to give these styles a try!

[@norak8080]

Thank you so much! I've been looking for a video like yours that explains the setting of the hair fork instead of just nonchalantly putting it in haha

[@angelmiller3331]

Thank you for making this step by step and taking your time. It really helps!

[@lynda223029]

Beautiful. Your hair always looks perfect but wearing it up adds a bit of sophistication 😊❤️

[@capagette]

Thank you so much for this video! I have thick hair and so have always been lazy when it comes to hair styles, but when I saw these pins at the store I got curious. I haven’t found any other videos out there showing how to use these and am so grateful! For the first time in my life I am able to put all of my thick hair up into a bun without a painful and annoying, not to mention bulky, hair clip. 😭😍

[@tuyetcong-ton-nu1388]

thanks for the video! I am using the pins now more efficiently!

[@hunterfaith8660]

Love! I got these a few weeks ago and I’ve been looking for more ways to use them; I can’t wait to give these looks a try 🌸 I hope you do another video like this, I’d love to see your other ideas! 💖

Me just stabbing the hair fork through without knowing you have to flip it. It fell out immediately (obviously) and I just thought my hair was dumb. Haha thanks!!

[@aniepluto5725]

I have short hair (for hair sticks or forks), but the first bun works great!

[@egyptjones]

The Kristen Ess Hair Pins are such great quality for the price point! Sturdy and they haven't discolored with daily use....I think I bought them in 2019 for a trip to Aruba so they have survived sun, sand, ocean water AND a pandemic....lol

[@yvette9935]

Thanks for these great tips. One question. With the first style it looks like you start with the outward curved part of pin facing your head and then flip it so that the curve goes back to hug your head. The second one looks like the opposite. With the curved end facing out, not hugging your head. I hope this makes sense. Maybe I’m seeing it wrong but just wanted to be clear. Thanks so much!
