A bun needs one good hair stick, not a handful of grips. These wooden hair sticks and hair forks are cut from recycled skateboard decks, with the board's colours running the full length of each piece.

The collection includes single wooden hair sticks, a pair of hair sticks for a fuller hold, and a moon-shaped wooden hair fork. Each one is shaped for balance, so it sits securely once it's in. Hair forks and hair sticks are made in small numbers, in whatever colours the current decks offer.
A hair stick suits a simple twisted bun, while a hair fork, with two prongs, grips more hair and tends to suit thicker or longer lengths. Either way, it works as a bun holder that replaces elastics and a pocketful of pins.
They're hair accessories for long hair first and foremost, though shoulder-length hair can often be twisted up with a single stick too. A wooden hair pin of this size is also an easy way to finish an up-do without anything shiny or plastic on show.
Wood brings colour and grain where most hair accessories offer metal or plastic. Unlike a smooth plastic stick, wood has a little natural grip, which helps it hold without sliding out. A striped stick sits well alongside boho hair accessories and relaxed, everyday looks, and a bright deck colour shows clearly against both dark and light hair.
For skaters with long hair, a hair stick cut from a deck is a practical way to keep hair back while still carrying a bit of the board. For everyone else, it's simply a hair accessory with more character than the usual clip.
Twist your hair up, slide the stick through, and it stays put, in colours that no plastic clip ever comes in.
