This wood hair pin is handcrafted from Cherry wood Average size 5"x 3/4". Each hairpin is handmade in our northern Michigan studio.
We've been making wood hair pin for over 25 years. They have a specially designed shaped top and profile (curving in and back out again - like an hourglass) which helps them maintain a tight firm hold in the hair. Edges are smoothed and transitions are eased for a no snag safe hold in your hair.
Photo is example of hairpin in a specific wood type. Each will have some slight variations in wood appearance.
I hand craft my wooden hair pins from many sustainable sourced domestic and exotic hardwoods. Pictured in the middle photo are some examples from left to right (bocote, birdseye maple, wenge, satinwood, snakewood, bloodwood, quilted maple, purpleheart, tulipwood) Most of these can be found in my store. If not, they may be available by special order. I can also customize lengths.
Hair Pins are much easier to use than most people think (there's a trick to getting them to stay in tightly), these wood hair picks can be worn in a number of hairstyles and updos including buns, French twists, knots, chignons and many others.
Each of my hair Pins comes with detailed instructions explaining how to use it.
