Your hair is unique and your Nº1 Hairpin should be too. That’s why Fiona Franchimon designed three versions of the iconic Nº1 Hairpin, each one carefully made for different hair types, textures and styles.
But what’s the difference between them? Check out Fiona's guide and explanation below:

The Nº1 Hairpin Petite: Small but strong, perfect for fine hair.
If you have thin, silky, short hair or want to gently tuck away small strands, this is the Nº1 Hairpin for you. The Nº1 Hairpin Petite is smaller, so it holds delicate hair without slipping or pulling. It’s also perfect for detailed styles and children’s hair. Beauty should feel effortless and this one does.
The Nº1 Hairpin (Original): The one that started it all – perfect for everyone.
Our original Nº1 Hairpin is made for all hair types. Whether your hair is thick, curly, straight, or in-between, this version gives strong hold and elegant shape. You can use it for quick buns, twists or soft updos: every day or for special events. This is your go-to hairpin for beauty that always works.
The Nº1 Hairpin Steel: Powerful and sleek, perfect for thick, long & straight hair.
The Nº1 Hairpin Steel version is made of steel so it comes with extra strength for thicker hair or straight hair that’s harder to hold in place. It gives a strong grip without damage. This version is also available with Swarovski® Crystals, coming with hand-places crystals.
No matter which version you choose, each Nº1 Hairpin is made to help you feel confident, beautiful and at ease.
Because every woman deserves a Nº1 Hairpin that fits her hair. If you have ever questions or unsure which one to choose, check out the chat icon on the left side below to get real time advice from a professional stylist. ✨
