This 4 1/2 Inch Southeast Asian Striped Ebony 2-Prong Hair Fork is curved to fit the contour of your head and is a compliment to my other Striped Ebony "Rustic Heavy Duty Hair Fork" and differs in that although it is shorter and lighter it has a longer FPL of 3 3/4". This Curved Hair Fork is made for those who want a smaller hair fork that is strong yet holds well, is not heavy so it can be used with thinner hair. It is only 1 " wide; 4 1/2" long and less than 3/16" thick. The pictures do not do justice to this Hair Fork.
This Hair Fork is for those with Light, thin hair as the fork is light and strong and holds well.
You get TWO Southeast Asian Striped Ebony 2-prong 4 1/2" Forks in this listing
The Functional Prong Length (FPL) is 3.75" for this 2-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 smaller and lighter Ebony 2 prong Hair Fork should now be added to my "Rustic Heavy Duty" line I have introduced before and will continue to expand in the near future . The line now includes five Different Striped Hair Forks as follows :

5) 4 1/2" Curved Two Prong hair Fork 1" wide and 3/16" thick with FPL of 3 3/4"
These Hair forks are being made out of Laos Rosewood and/or Striped Ebony so there are ten different listings here on Etsy .
The Hair Forks are finished with a lacquer coating and rubbed out to a semi-gloss finish and waxed with Johnson Paste wax.
The last picture shows several different colors and grain patterns and is just to show the variety that this Hair Fork may come in.

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.
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.

Beautifully-crafted, functional design. This is exactly the size and style of hair fork I prefer for daily wear. The wood is burnished glossy and does not tug or catch on my hair at all, the hold is secure, the curve fits around my head, and the fork is very light.

I absolutely love these hair forks! I lost one that I have had for years 😠but these ones are a perfect replacement (they actually work better than my old one!!) I like that they have a slight bend. My old one was straight so it would slip out more often. Thank you for the gift also! That was unexpected and so thoughtful! I am very happy and satisfied with my purchase!
