The decorative top is about 1 1/2 inches(3.8cm) across. It's functional prong length is just short of 4 1/2 inches(11.4cm) and its overall length is 5 1/2 inches(14cm).It works perfect in a figure 8 Bun!It is strong enough to hold a lot of hair or work in a smaller bun as well.
This is well finished and sealed.The only maintenance required would be cleaning with a soft damp cloth if needed.
We make each of these by hand so we will gladly accomodate requests for shorter tines or to make the tines longer, we will gladly make a custom fork just for you! We use a pattern so that you know if you order another it will be very close to the same shape. We also do custom embellishing , if you would like a different stone or something carved.An addtional fee may apply.
*All of our hair toys now carry our makers mark.If you have previously bought a fork from our studio and would like it to have the mark we will gladly do that for you, just pay the shipping.*
**Grah-Toe Studio hair toy care and "warranty"**
How to care for your wooden hair toys!
1. Do not store them in the sun ,that includes in the car or by a window. But wear them in the sun and be happy!
2. Do not drop them!
3. Do not use them as a screwdriver or paint can opener!
4.They are natural wood, they CAN break…put as little sideways pressure as possible on them. WE do take hair pressures into account and under normal hair updos they should be fine, including lots of hair!
5.Do not let the dog have it!;0)
6.Even though they are sealed and would weather rain ,do not swim or shower in them!
7.ENJOY!
If your hair toy from us breaks for seemingly no reason, please send the parts back and if it is not salvageable we will replace it, you just pay the shipping. If you drop or break it we will salvage it for a small fee or give a discount on a new one if it is not salvageable. We understand that life, kids, pets, and accidents happen! (salvageable would be, for example, to turn a broken 3 tine fork into a 2 tine and a single stick. We do not feel that a glue-up would be an acceptable way to save a fork.)
Thank you for allowing us to be a part of your crowning glory! We truly appreciate you!
