Ola Real Hair Picks

For many of us, our relationship with our hair is a journey—especially if we've been blessed with textured hair. After all, our hair tells a story of history, lineage, and culture. While I was personally fortunate to've never been told that I had "pelo malo" ("bad hair"), it was always a silent understanding that my hair was particularly difficult to manage. It wasn't until adulthood when I truly learned that hair like mine isn't difficult, or bad, or even tricky—it simply needs to be respected and treated according to its nature. And so it is with great pride that I am offering these hand-carved hair picks!

Wood feels better than plastic in the hand and on the scalp; it grips hair better while being gentle enough to avoid damaging your hair. My hair picks are designed to feel solid without being overly long or bulky. Carved thumb grips allow for comfortable left- or right-handed use. The prongs are tapered in all directions, ending in an arched configuration that efficiently fits the scalp and guides your hair. They are made from rescued White Oak that was once destined to be flooring, then tossed aside by a builder. Oak is a resilient wood that should provide many years of use, and will continuously get conditioned thanks to the nourishment of natural hair oils as well as your LOC or LCO regimen.

Honor your ancestors and wear your hair with pride with hand-carved hair picks as unique as you! Available in natural white oak, and flame-scorched.
