Is anyone else getting anything?

What a nice sister you are! Makes me wish I had a sister, lol.

Wow, you must have quite the collection, then!

haha, I try!

Mine just came in the mail last night! The package took just over 2 weeks to arrive. They're so smooth and light that they almost feel like plastic instead of wood. Even though my hair is too short to reasonably wear it right now, I couldn't resist giving my little shortened fork a quick try. Here it is in my hair and with the ones for my sister!

I only started to grow into hair toys last year, so I have now 7 forks. I'm still waiting for two or thrree colors to make it back in the store, but otherwise I think I'm good for now.

All three of them look very nice! Great choice. Is the fork stable yet when you put it in a bun? It looks very beautiful in your hair.

Thank you! It's more stable than it looks but would probably only stay in for an hour or so. I wasn't planning on giving it a real go until the summer so even a little bit of success was a nice surprise

Here's an accumulation of all my Maple Burl forks so far...

I ordered my first Mapleburls! I've been wanting one for over eight months now, so I thought it was fair to finally pull the trigger and just buy some when I saw these two that really spoke to me:

I know nothing about measurements and what would work best for my hair but I have high hopes that they'll be comfortable and beautiful to wear. My hair is really heavy now and scrunchies aren't doing the job anymore.

Those are really lovely, Pisinoe! Here's hoping they both work great for you.

They do!! They are sooo comfortable and easy to wear. And hold my hair far better than my usual acrylic stick which has me super surprised! I guess I understand the love now, and need moaaar!

I love them!
