but my dymondwood have tended to fade significantly over time - especially the green/blue shades..

Ah, I have found that all of my Dymondwood 60th Street forks have also darkened significantly over time. It's such a bummer. Mine were all acquired secondhand, so I don't have a huge amount invested in them, but it's still disappointing. Their previous owners must not have worn them much. The colors were still vivid when i received them but now they are so dark that the color changes are barely noticeable.

Does anyone know if the other types of layered "woods" hold their colors? If they do, I will invest in some of those.

Finda and Zesty, beautiful forks both of you!

Finda, I adore Macassar Ebony! When I destashed the vast majority of my huge 60th street collection, I kept a couple of dymondwoods - but mostly my natural woods. Gabon Ebony is my absolute favorite now, as my hair is more silvers than brown, and the lighter tones in Macassar can sometimes clash a bit. But it's so beautiful!

I also agree with Sarah that 60th Street have been my favorite forks since I first found them. The lightness, the spacing, and how easily they just glide into your hair are all what makes me love them, even when I don't wear hair toys as much anymore nowadays. But when I do, 9 times out of 10, it's a 60th Street.

Today arrived my new CO, and I am so happy. I love it!
It is a 3 Prong in natural wood.

Thanks rags I find myself mainly wearing the natural wood ones as well.

everyone talking about natural wood forks I agree they are SO pretty.
I like dymondwood too but natural woods especially those that show a pattern are amazing!
I have a lacewood? (I think, can't remember 100% if that was what it was called) and I think I will dig it out and wear it more

I love natural wood too

By the way, I do wear my natural wood fork while showering.
Does it anyone too? If yes have you noticed changes in your fork?

I probably wouldn't do it since they're so expensive. I don't even leave them out in the bathroom when I shower. I mean, the occasional rain shower hasn't done any harm yet. When it looks like rain I wear something acrylic, though. I accidentally left a wooden stick in my bun during a shower and the steam led to the fibers sticking up.

Yes indeed they are expensive, I maybe better not wearing them while taking a shower and risking something.
If the damage would have taken place it is too late.

My custom order arrived a few days ago and I love the grain in this wood! This one is a 6" Annie in Honduran Rosewood. I think this will be one of my favourites! Excuse the frizzies. It's humid here
