Description:
Heartbeat Hair Pin was initially created by Joza Perl as a way to address hair issues for her performers. There’s only so much hair product that can stand up to the various spins and twirls of dancing, and too often a dancer’s hair was a hot mess by the end of a set. In an attempt to remedy this, Joza purchased a set of cheap hair pins from a local drug store and experimented with imbuing them with the Force. The result was a hair pin that would hold the shape and place of someone’s hair while it was being worn. The effect of the pin can be likened to that of a good styling gel—it allows hair to move naturally while dancing, though it always returns to its original style when the wearer is stationary. Unlike a styling gel and other hair products, the pin does not leave a sticky texture or make hair crunchy.
After receiving compliments on her dancer’s flawless hair (for those that have hair), Joza has decided to open this product to the general public. The Heartbeat Hair Pin can be purchased at a Heartbeat House studio location or over the holonet.
