Hair pins & forks
Our hair pins and hair forks are carefully hand crafted from reclaimed, recycled or waste wood. We store and season wood cut from gardening and woodland projects, gather off-cuts left over from carpentry workshops and give these often rare and expensive premium hardwoods a new life. Although it seems like a very small gesture we'd like to hope that by saving these woods from the fire pile we can help to highlight the rarity and ecological importance of these Great trees.
All the hair pins and hair forks are finished with Nutshell wax. The product is eco friendly and non toxic, blending selected beeswax, Larch oil and essential oils to give your hairpin years of protection. It also uses no VOC's, formaldehyde or petrochemicals.
We are always striving to improve our processes environmentally. Hand tools are used over power tools where possible and sanding etc. is kept to a minimum.

Using a Hairpin/fork
~ Gather hair into a ponytail as low or as high as you like.
~ Twist hair until it begins to coil in on itself.
~ Wrap hair into a bun.
~ Slide the pointed end of the hair stick through the edge of your bun, then use the point to pick up a small bit of hair against your head.
~ As you work the hair stick under and across the bun, continue using a slight "sewing" motion between the bun and hair against your head, picking up small "stitches" of hair as you go.
If you have fine hair , you can braid your hair first for a different style.
There are lots of tutorial videos on the internet/youtube for more guidance and different styles.
