Striped Ebony 4 7/8 Inch Three Prong Curved Hair Fork FPL 3 1/2" Comb Pic Pin Pick Stick Black with Dark Brown Grain 2" wide

The 4 7/8 Inch Striped Ebony Hair Fork is curved to fit the contour of your head and can be used from several angles. This Curved Striped Ebony Hair Fork is a "Rustic Heavy Duty " hair fork I have added to my line for the customer with Thick Hair that needs a super strong Hair Fork with great holding power. . It is 2 " wide; 4 7/8" long and 1/4" thick. The pictures do not do justice to this Hair Fork.

This Hair Fork is not for those with Light, thin hair as the forks are wider apart then my regular Ebony Hair Fork...See link below:

The Functional Prong Length (FPL) is 3.5" for this 3-Prong Hair Fork and varies within 1/4" from piece to piece.

This Southeast Asian Ebony (Diospyros Sp) is very heavy and is thought to be a sub-species of Macassar Ebony as the wood is found from Indonesia to India and known by different names throughout the area. There are something like 450 Ebony species know in the world but only a few grow to any size to make commercial lumber out of. For more info see macassarebony.com .

This "Rustic Heavy Duty" line I have just come up with includes four different styles of Hair Forks as follows:

1) 4 7/8" Curved Three Prong Hair Fork 2" wide and 1 /4" thick
2) 4 3/4" Curved Two Prong Hair Fork 1 1/4" wide and 1/4" thick
3) 5 7/8" Straight Three Prong Hair Fork 2" wide and 1/4" thick
4) 5 3/4" Straight Two Prong hair Fork 1 1/4" wide and 1/4" thick

These Hair forks are being made out of Ebony and also Laos Rosewood so there are eight different listings here on Etsy for these.

All of these forks are made of these heavy duty wood species and are very strong and hard. These "Rustic" hair forks all have their prongs spaced about 1/2" apart where my regular two and three prong forks are not spaced any greater than 3/8" apart. This is a negative for customers with very light, thin hair and I do not recommend these forks for them.

These are intended for the customer that has thick hair, and plenty of it !! If this is you try one of these and if it doesn't work for you return it for a full refund.

The last picture shows several different colors and grain patterns and is just to show the variety that this Hair Fork may come in. The listing is for only one Hair Fork.

The Hair Forks are finished with a lacquer coating and rubbed out to a semi-gloss finish and waxed with Johnson Paste wax.

As a matter of caution some of the Forks 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 Hair Forks not to your liking I will take them back.

Feel free to contact me if you have any questions or concerns.
