Verified claims

Material
Gold finish is gold-plated over a base metal (brass or steel).
Hold
No spring; friction hold; insertion technique required.
Hair type suitability
The 5-inch pin works well for thick or curly hair and is suitable for all hair textures except very short hair.
Length
5-inch length secures thick and curly hair effectively
Care
The gold finish is likely to tarnish over time with exposure to moisture, oils, and handling; storing it in a dry pouch or box and avoiding water, hairspray, and perfumes helps prolong the finish.
Value
At $9 CAD, undercuts Kitsch Metal French Hair Pin ($10) by 10% and offers finished accessory vs $0.75 craft sticks.
Design
Minimalist 5-inch two-prong U-shaped pin with friction hold; versatile for thick hair.
Category comparison
Unlike bulk craft sticks and multi-pack decorative sets, the Simons Classic Hair Pin is a single-piece minimalist fashion accessory; the closest comparable single gold metal pin is the Kitsch Metal French Hair Pin.
Surface texture
The pin has a smooth surface, which helps it glide through hair and rely on friction rather than a clasp or spring.

Classic Hair Pin: Choose this if you want a classic U-shaped hair pin in a tortoiseshell look, with a translucent tan base and irregular dark brown to near-black splotches across the rounded head and both tapered prongs. It is made of cellulose acetate with a smooth glossy finish, measures 5 inches (13 cm) long, and comes in one size. Note that this tortoiseshell style is acetate, while only the gold finish variant of the same pin is golden metal.[1,2]Tortoiseshell Hair Pin: Choose this if you have long, thick hair and want a simple two-pronged pin for quick casual styling — reviewers report it holds securely for that hair type, and the 4 inch (10.5 cm) U-shaped design is made of flexible, durable cellulose acetate for increased comfort. Be aware that the hairstyle can loosen after a few hours at all-day events, the insertion technique affects how well it stays in place, and some users find its feel flimsy even though it remains functional.[3,4]Metallic Hair Pins Set Of 2: Choose this if you want a set of two metal U-shaped pins — one gold-tone with a cutout head and one matte silver-tone — to create easy up-dos and casual hairstyles, with customer reviews reporting a firm, all-day grip on thick hair without an elastic and hours of comfortable, pull-free wear. The pins measure 4.75 inches (12 cm) long, so reviewers note they may be too short to fully secure very long or thick hair and are better suited to medium lengths. The elastic-free metallic design is also reported to add a stylish, compliment-worthy touch.[5,6]
