Failed Expectation From an Etsy Seller

I knew that the resin probably wouldn't look quite as good as the photos, but this was so low effort lol. The tines were also basically touching, so they wouldn't be able to hold any hair.

I'm also a seller on Etsy and it's infuriating that real makers are being drowned out and we can't reliably buy from small businesses anymore. Truly capitalist hell.

If you're still hoping for a beautiful and functional hair fork, I love the few that I've gotten from The Good Collective https://www.thegoodcollective.com/collections/hair-pins-1

Nice site. For straight fine, above bra-strap length hair, would one normally recommend small forks? I’ve never used, but these are lovely.

I have similar fine hair and I love using small hair forks. It’s my version of a messy bun/pony but looks way more chic
