The decorative upper section follows a curved U-shaped outline and transitions into two smooth, elongated prongs. The transition areas need suitable thickness to support the design without unnecessary bulk.

Design Detail
Structure
Visual Focus
Interlaced forms and open spaces create the braided appearance around the top. The polished gold finish highlights the raised curves and gives the decorative section a defined outline.
Wear & Placement
The smooth prongs slide into a bun or updo, allowing part of the braided top to remain visible. Positioning and holding performance depend on the dimensions, hair volume and styling technique.
Customization Options for This Design
Develop the proportions and decorative details to suit your collection.
Overall Length & Width
Adjust the total length and upper width for your intended hairstyles and product proportions.
Braided Top Design
Review the braid scale, decorative coverage and size of the open spaces.
Prong Profile & Spacing
Customize prong thickness, taper, length and spacing together.
Plating & Surface Finish
Discuss gold, silver-tone, rose gold and other finishes using an approved color reference.
Logo Placement
Review discreet branding on a suitable smooth area or a dedicated area developed into the design.
Manufacturing Notes for This Design
Key production considerations for the long prongs, curved top, and visible metal surface.
Braided Openings & Mold Release
The apparent overlaps and open spaces need tooling review. Adjustments may be needed to avoid trapped features, incomplete filling or difficult mold release while retaining the braided appearance.
Top-to-Prong Transitions
Control the thickness where the decorative section meets each smooth prong. Abrupt changes or overly thin sections can create weak areas and complicate surface finishing.
Inner Edges & Rounded Tips
Refine casting seams and burrs around the open details, inner curves and prong ends. Hair-contact areas should be checked for roughness and potential snagging points.
Polishing & Plating in Recessed Areas
Balance polishing across the raised curves and recessed details. Surface preparation and plating should preserve the braid definition while meeting the agreed appearance standard.
Typical Manufacturing Process
The following process applies to the featured zinc alloy version. Alternative materials may require a different production route.
1
Design & Tooling Preparation
1
Review the braided geometry, open spaces, prong dimensions and suitable tooling layout.
2

Product-Specific FAQs
Find answers about materials, customization, MOQ, and lead times for this floral hair stick.
What is the minimum order quantity?
Our standard starting MOQ is 30 pcs. The final MOQ for this hair pin depends on the selected components, finish and customization requirements. Please send your quantity and design details for confirmation.
How long do sampling and production take?
Typical sampling takes 7–15 days, and production takes 15–25 days after sample approval and order confirmation. New tooling or special decorative materials may require additional time.
Can this hair fork be made in other materials?
Yes. Brass, stainless steel and other agreed materials can be reviewed for custom development. Material changes may require a different production method or adjustments to the braided details and prong dimensions.
Is the braided top a flexible chain?
The braided appearance should not be interpreted as a flexible chain mechanism. The construction and any movement requirements must be specified during development. For this design, we focus on a stable decorative top and functional prongs.
Can you change the braided pattern or the size of the openings?
Yes. We can review the braid scale, decorative coverage and opening size. These changes are assessed together with tooling requirements, section thickness and edge finishing before sampling.
Yes. Prong length, thickness, taper and spacing can be developed for your intended use. Please share reference dimensions and target hairstyles so samples can be evaluated before production.
Logo placement depends on the available surface area and texture. We can review a discreet location near the curved top or another suitable area. A smooth section may be needed to keep small lettering clear.
