This chignon hairpin and its two sharp prongs are anything but intimidating… quite the opposite! Carved from high-quality acetate, it slides delicately into the heart of a chignon, ensuring both its secure hold and its elegance. It has the audacity to take on any hairstyle.
Description
Since the dawn of time, ever since hair first appeared on earth (and atop countless heads), the realm of hairstyling has never ceased to evolve. Through the ages, following trends, and sometimes breaking conventions, hairstyling has become an art form. Egyptian women with their elaborate hairstyles of a thousand plaits or Marie Antoinette with her towering headdresses reaching up to the heavens cannot attest otherwise.
The five great pillars of the art of hairstyling are: knowledge of hair, mastery of the gesture, patience, the perfect tools, and creativity. Like sculpture, this art transforms a daily gesture, which for some can feel like a chore, into a refined and poetic ritual. Under the fairy-like touch of a skilled hairdresser or an expert stylist, hair becomes a true ephemeral masterpiece, endowing every face with a haughty allure. Whether you like your hair tidy, naturally beautiful, or extravagantly wild, colourful or tousled, the Officine has a collection of combs, clips, and acetate accessories to delight and suit every hairstyle.
The Valiant pricks… but with the utmost delicacy. An essential accessory for princely hairstyles and charming faces, this chignon hairpin is as delightful to behold as it is to handle. Its two long prongs discreetly hide within a large chignon (whether flat, twisted, or voluminous) leaving only its “golden square” visible. The Valiant is also the perfect companion for two small Japanese-style buns or for those with a princess's soul who wish to emulate the legendary Princess Leia’s iconic hairstyle. One pin per bun, and your locks will hold in place.
Available in two colours, tortoiseshell or ivory, this jewel-like comb is sure to find the perfect match for its teeth!
The Officine's prowess
The Officine has the largest collection of beauty accessories in the world on its shelves: hundreds of combs and brushes for all types of hair or beards, bath accessories (horsehair gloves, embroidered pumice stones, wooden brushes…) but also make-up brushes, toothbrushes or razors…
Often customizable, these beauty accessories become essential when it comes to brushing, scrubbing, shaving, detangling or even applying make-up with care. The Officine Universelle Buly has travelled across the world in search of these daintily crafted tools for body, face and hair care. These treasures are often handcrafted by talented artisans.
Advice for Use & Care
Vigorously yet gently detangle your hair before styling it into a large chignon or two smaller ones. Secure them with a few invisible pins and a thin elastic. Carefully place The Valiant between your scalp and the chignon, inserting it deeply enough to ensure it stays in place. Admire this new princely hairstyle, elevated by this acetate jewel carrying your initials.
CARE INSTRUCTIONS
This chignon hairpin can be cleaned with a cloth and a little water when needed. A little tip known to opticians: being a natural fibre, acetate must be moisturized twice a year with a rich substance such as shea or coconut butter. It is not recommended to expose acetate to sudden changes in temperature or to high temperatures.

Composition
Cellulose acetate is a luxurious material invented in 1865 by Paul Schützenberger and then perfected at the beginning of the 20th century by two Swiss chemists, Camille and Henry Dreyfus. Generally extracted from cotton, this natural polymer is inherently endowed with several properties that make it the perfect component for the comb of the Officine: soft to the touch, it is perfectly resistant to water and the passage of time.
