Teak 4.5 Inch Handmade Wooden Curved 2-Prong Hair Fork FPL 3.5 " Comb Pin Pic Pick Stick which fits contour of the Head
$26.50
Teak wood ( Tectona Grandis) has been used in the boat building industry 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 One Teak 2-Prong Hair fork 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.
The Hair Stick is 4.5 inches long and Curves to fit the contour of the head. It is about 1 inch at its widest point and has a maximum thickness of about 1/4". The Curve in the 2-Prong fork allows the use of this fork from the side as well as from the top of the head. I've been told that it is very easy to use and does a good job of holding hair for only being 4.5 inches long.
The Functional Prong Length (FPL) is 3 1/2" for this Hair Fork and varies within 1/4" from piece to piece.
I classify this Hair Stick as more functional than "Decorative" in that the intent of this Two Prong Fork is to help hold your hair together with a straight forward product with not a lot of "Bling". This is one of the workhorses in my stable. I make these out of several exotic wood varieties and I sell them all here on Etsy. See my other listings.

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.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why don't you ship outside of the USA ?
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.

I ordered two teak hair forks. These are the smallest ones I could find because I have very fine hair and it's only barely long enough to go up. These work great, even on my slippery hair. And since they are wood they don't add static like acetate versions do. The teak is beautiful, with a grain pattern that catches the light like a tiger's eye stone. Now, on to the shipping. These shipped from Hawaii, so I expected it to take a while since I'm in Florida. The seller shipped immediately, within hours of my order, and the order arrived only three days later. Impressive. The items were very well packaged. I'm thrilled and I'm sure I'll be back for more.

This is my very first hair fork and to be honest I did not expect to love it so much! I have long, thick hair (to my butt) and typically get annoyed with readjusting scrunchies and the damage from hair ties. This fork is super light weight, easy to use and the craftsmanship is lovely - will be back :). Thanks Jim!
