Teak wood ( Tectona Grandis) has been used in the boat building for over 150 years and is used for outdoor furniture a lot due to its high oil content. This gives Teak great resistance to weathering as well as pest invasion. Over time Teak will turn to a silver-grey color which can be readily seen on the decks of yachts. It is very strong and makes fine Hair Sticks as it is usually just finished by buffing and waxing.
You get two Spiral Teak Sticks in this sale.
One of the best things about using Teak for hair Sticks is the variety of grain patterns and colors that you come across. Tans with dark stripes are easy to find and the grain though mostly straight can be found in very interesting designs. Teak is truly beautiful and you will be happy with these sticks.
These Spiral Hair Sticks are 6 inches long and undulates from 1/2" at the top down to a point. The Sticks are about 1/4" in thickness , a tan to deep brown color and and able to hold lots of hair securely. I make Similar Spiral Sticks out of many species of wood and these Teak Spiral Sticks are as strong as any of the hardwoods I use with the exception of Ebony and the Hardest of the Rosewood Varieties..
I consider this stick to be one of my strongest and I would classify it as having good holding power rather than many of my other sticks that I would classify as more decorative with medium to lighter holding power. The use of Hair Sticks as "levers" is not a good idea as most Hair Sticks are decorative and they will break under excess stress.

As a matter of caution some of the sticks will be sharper then some people like and I therefore recommend that you blunt the tip with an emery board to the degree of sharpness you want.
If you find any of my sticks not to your liking I will take them back.
Feel free to contact me if you have any questions or concerns.
I will consider and have shipped to other Countries but only after we agree on prices and shipping. This must be done through the Convo system here on Etsy and is not available for all items due to the weight and shipping restrictions on some of my items.
I will however ship to friends or relatives of customers who are located in the USA and then they can make shipping arrangements to the customers location overseas.

Bought these for my wife, she loves them and the bonus aluminum gift! Her hair is on the shorter side, so sometimes she has trouble gathering enough for the pin to hold onto, but it looks great!

Artistry designed for hair! Deceptively simple in design but they are a significant step above other hair sticks in my opinion. A classic that can stand the test of time...and I know as when a hair stick that finally broke, which I purchased from here in years past ( weakened by puppy teeth...I filed it smooth but it was never the same so not a design issue!) and here i am back for more!
