The Black Orchid Hair Slide is designed for medium to shorter and finer hair types. This was designed as a smaller version of our Moon Flower Hair slide which is intended to hold and support longer, thicker hair types. The Black Orchid can be styled and used in a variety of ways. Available in sustainably sourced Teak, Tamarind and Rosewood. Each wood variation will compliment individual hair colours, either by choosing a wood type with opposing tones or similar ones.
Suited For Your Hair Type? | The Black Orchid hair slide is our mid way hair slide and is best suited for medium and finer hair types that are not too heavy. The shape is designed to hold your updo in place by covering the bun, whilst the stick is used to secure it. Similar to the Jasmine and Moon Flower design, which are designed for finer and thicker hair types. Each wood variation will compliment individual hair colours, either by choosing a wood type with opposing tones or similar ones.
Benefits of Wood? | Wooden combs and accessories help to reduce anti static, breakage and damage to hair, unlike plastic and metal. The porous nature of wood absorbs and redistributes your natural oils and maintains healthy hair continuously through your wash cycle. Wooden tips also gently massage your skin, stimulating blood flow which over time promotes hair growth. View our shop here to explore our whole collection.

Why roots?
Wood is only a renewable and eco-friendly material if it is consciously sourced. Tropical hardwoods in particular grow very slowly and in low densities, and regenerate poorly after logging. These species are often taken from forests in non-sustainable numbers, and illegal ways.
Searching for a way of sourcing wood sustainably, SAYA Designs came across Made & Ways, sculptors who dig up and recycle root wood from old commercial plantations all across Indonesia. The roots are left behind by loggers harvesting trees on large-scale production sites. They take hundreds of years to decompose and have little value for the soil.
By using this waste material we are having as little impact on the environment as possible.
