This fall, effortless elegance is back — and the world is taking notice.
We’re thrilled to share that Blushington Pro Artist, Anari Laboard, was featured in InStyle’s latest trend story, “Test Drive Fall Trends With These 6 Hair Accessories That Stylists Are Seeing Everywhere.” The piece spotlights this season’s most coveted accessories, and among them, one timeless classic is stealing the spotlight once again: the French pin.
The French Pin: Effortless, Elevated, and So French
Simple yet sophisticated, the French pin is the ultimate minimalist’s answer to everyday chic. In the article, Anari describes why this tool has quickly become a must-have for clients and stylists alike:
“It’s a very low-maintenance, very low-tension way for you to put up your hair and have it still look done,” says Laboard.
Designed in a graceful U-shape, the French pin allows you to sweep your hair into a soft French twist, a romantic chignon, or a relaxed low bun — all without pulling, snagging, or weighing down your strands. It’s equal parts functionality and fashion, echoing that effortless “French girl” energy that never goes out of style.
The Blushington Touch
At Blushington, we believe the best beauty moments come from simplicity done exceptionally well. That’s why we’re embracing the French pin trend as part of our signature aesthetic — polished, feminine, and beautifully undone.
Whether paired with a cozy fall trench or a sleek holiday dress, the French pin elevates your look instantly — adding that final touch of confidence that says, I woke up like this (and meant it).
Our Classic Tortoise Hair Pin Sticks are an easy way to test the trend. Each set features a timeless neutral tone, perfect for all hair colors and textures, and designed to glide smoothly without snagging.
Anari’s Expert Tip
To master the French pin at home, Anari suggests working with your hair’s natural texture rather than against it.
✨ For smooth hair: Create a loose twist and slide the pin upward from the nape, weaving through the hair for hold.
✨ For textured hair: Leave a few soft tendrils out around the face and let your curls frame the bun for that perfectly undone effect.
As Anari puts it, “It’s low maintenance, low tension, and still looks chic — which is exactly what modern beauty should feel like.”
Trending Now, Timeless Always
While trends come and go, elegance never fades. The French pin’s quiet return this season proves that classic beauty always finds its way back.
