Most come in salon quantities, from 4-piece and 6-piece clip packs for a home kit to 100-piece boxes of curl clips and 250-piece tubs of pins.

About 999 Premium Pin Company
The 999 range is built for professional use, but the products are simple enough for anyone doing updos, pin curls or roller sets at home. Pins come in several lengths and finishes so they disappear into the hair: 1.5-inch mini bobby pins for small sections, 2-inch and 2.75-inch for everyday work, and 3-inch for thick or heavy hair, in black, brown, bronze, gold and silver.
The bobby pins use a spring core for a firm grip, with protective ball tips and a wavy side that resists slipping. Ripple pins and fringe pins are open-ended U-shaped pins with a fine wave, made for buns, chignons and detailed fringe work. Roller pins come in metal (600 series) and plastic (700 series), and curl clips in double prong (401) and single prong (501) styles.
For sectioning, 999 offers several clip types. Nylon and aluminium sectioning clips combine a nylon top arm with a lightweight aluminium base, crocodile clips use an expanding, self-adjusting tension design with scalloped teeth, duckbill clips come in steel (902) and aluminium (901), and the large butterfly clamps (102) hold a generous amount of hair, so you need fewer per head.
The 999 Range
999 Clips & Pins is the core of the range: bobby pins from 1.5 to 3 inches, ripple pins in 2 and 3 inches, fringe pins in 2 and 2.4 inches, curl clips, sectioning clips, crocodile clips, duckbill clips, butterfly clamps and hot roller clamps.
999 Hair Styling groups the pins and clips used for updos, pin curls, roller sets and bridal work.
999 Rollers covers roller pins in medium and long lengths, metal and plastic, plus the 801 Hot Roller Clamps that hold heated rollers in place.
999 Brushes holds the 36-piece tint brush packs in small and large, with flexible nylon bristles and colour-coded handles.

- Colour bar basics. Tint brushes and measured, non-slip tint bowls come from the same brand as your clips.
How to Choose the Right 999 Pins and Clips
Updos and buns: ripple pins shape and anchor the hair, and bobby pins lock it in place. Use 3-inch pins on thick hair and 2-inch on fine or medium hair.
Bridal and fringe work: 2.4-inch fringe pins and 1.5-inch mini bobby pins sit flat and stay hidden in fine detail.
Pin curls: double prong curl clips (401) hold firmly on thick or textured hair; single prong (501) are lighter and leave less of a mark.
Roller sets: metal roller pins (601 and 602) are fine and strong, plastic roller pins (701 and 702) are lighter and kinder on the scalp. Use the 801 Hot Roller Clamps with heated rollers.
Sectioning for colour or cutting: nylon and aluminium sectioning clips are light and flat. For long or thick hair, step up to large crocodile clips or butterfly clamps.
Fine or thin hair: aluminium duckbill clips (901) and small crocodile clips grip without weighing the section down.
Matching your hair colour: black for dark hair, brown or bronze for brunette and red, gold for blonde, silver for grey.

They are designed for professionals, but anyone can use them for updos, pin curls and sectioning at home.

Wash plastic and metal clips in warm soapy water, rinse and dry completely before storing. Disinfect between clients in a salon.
