    Default Affordable hair toys?

    I would really love to buy a hair fork, but I can't find a site that sells them for a price I can afford. Does anyone have recommendations for good hair toy sites that don't charge an arm and a leg?

    I tried the cheaper ones on ebay at first but they just aren't the quality of the more expensive ones. The good ones are smooth and hold like a rock and they last forever! For less expensive ones I recommend 60th street. They aren't as elaborate maybe as some but are very good quality and you can get one at a very reasonable price in my opinion. I am waiting on a fork from Etta Mae too which I have heard is a very good quality. You might check out her site on Etsy. My advice is not to waste your money on cheaper things most of the time.

    For a really cheap option, there's always wavelength pins (Double ended knitting needles bent in half). They cost around 2 USD and you get two pairs to a package!

    Thank you again curlsgirl! I'll check out 60th street. I may just fork over the money to get something good because I definitely want something I'll like and can use.

    Sorry to sidetrack the thread a bit, but does anyone know where to find the knockoff ficcares I've heard mentioned? It seems like such a nice clip but at ~$35 the price seems rather steep.

    You just buy double-pointed knitting needles (preferably aluminum ones) and bend them into shape.

    Just my 2 cents, but the real deal is worth every penny. I have fake ones and real ones and there's really no comparison. It's definitely worth it to save up for a real Ficcare.
