The orchid measures 2.7 x 1.1 cm, with fine petals that catch light. It sits on a sandalwood shaft, the wood turned smooth and polished. The contrast between cool silver and warm wood is what drew me to this piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Sandalwood\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSandalwood has a subtle, lingering scent that fades over time but never fully disappears. The wood's grain varies naturally—you may see slight color differences or fine lines; these are marks of genuine material, not flaws. Because it's a natural product, each stick has its own character. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFit \u0026amp; Care\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll hair volumes, fine through thick—the rigid sandalwood shaft holds securely. If you have very thick hair and prefer a featherlight feel, the silver orchid may feel slightly heavier than a plain wood stick; see \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/wooden-hair-sticks\"\u003ewooden hair sticks\u003c\/a\u003e for lighter options.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wipe with a dry cloth after use.
