Last week, a friend of mine came over after work to go hiking at our house. Before we changed into workout clothes, I insisted she come into my studio and model for me "real quick."

I had just made a hair fork-- a decorative two-prong hair stick made out of copper-- and snagged a couple of pictures before we headed out. The next day, I shared the pictures on Tumblr and Facebook and uploaded it to my Etsy shoppe, and was greatly surprised by the response!

Over the past week I've made several more hair forks, all of which can be seen on my Etsy shop, or (if they sell), in my gallery of old items on Facebook.

I've come up with seven different hair styles using my hair forks! Below are five of them, along with video and picture tutorials. Tomorrow I'll post the final two!

When using a hair fork, remember that you weave them into your hair the same way that you weave in a hair stick or a hair fork: push backwards on the bun, switch to font, and then wiggle it up to the middle of the bun then switch to wiggle it down by your scalp. (If that made no sense, watch the first video!).

If you use a hair fork (whether mine or one you already have) and do these hairstyles or come up with another, feel free to share pictures in the comments or by emailing me! I might do a little gallery of the pictures! :)
