Black Folding Style
Metal Afro Pick


The Folding Style Metal Afro Pick is quickly becoming our most popular metal Afro Pick, second only to the Black Power FIST style pick. This item is hard to find on the Internet and nearly impossible to find in stores. The Black Folding style Metal Afro Pick was created for those who want the strength and stealth of the Red, Green & Black folding pick but prefer the the solid black color to reflect the Black Power movement or neutral ethnicity. The Black Folding Style Metal Afro Pick is known for its strength, compact style.

The folding style Metal Afro Pick is popular because it can be placed in a purse or a jacket or pants pocket without tearing your clothes and without stabbing or sticking yourself with the metal teeth. At one time, during the 1960s and 70s, this Folding Style Metal Afro Pick (and eventually all Metal Afro Picks) was banned from schools and public places for fear it would be used as a concealed lethal weapon. It was this kind of fear and ignorance that nearly made the metal Afro Pick extinct. Until now.

Now popular with both men and women, of all ethnic groups. Also popular with those who wear wigs and hair extensions because the metal teeth glide easily through real human hair just as well as it does through synthetic wig hair. Recommended by manufacturers and wig stylists.

MetalAfroPicks.com carries over five different varieties of Metal Afro Picks. All of our Metal Tine Afro Picks are new stock, not old vintage store stock, so you can be sure of the strength and quality.

The polished metal teeth (a.k.a. tines or prongs) are strong yet gentle on hair. Use this metal hair comb to create a traditional, natural African American hairstyle or a retro Afro Hair Style. But these great picks are not just for Afros. Anyone of any race, with any hair type will benefit from using a metal tooth hair pick. Use to separate curls into perfect ringlets for naturally dried hair or drying with a diffuser. Easily detangle curly, wavy, thick, kinky, nappy, fine, or fragile hair.
Only $5.95 plus a small shipping fee.

Afro-American (African American)
Red, Green & Black Folding Style
Metal Afro Pick


The Red, Green, & Black (RGB) Folding style Metal Afro Pick symbolizes the colors of the African-American flag. These colors were adopted from the many flags of Africa. It is believed the colors for the Afro-American flag were chosen by civil rights leader Marcus Garvey. The flag and its colors were designed to symbolize and encourage African American strength, unity, and rediscovery of an almost forgotten African American heritage. The red is thought to symbolize bloodshed, the green symbolizes the earth, and black symbolizes the people.

1960s Retro FAN Style
Metal Afro Pick


The thin, sleek shape of the 1960s Retro Style Fan Metal Afro Pick is popular with women of all ethnic groups. The unique fan shape separates and untangles hair exceptionally well. The Metal Fan Afro Pick is best known for creating lift and its gentleness on thin or fragile hair, especially for use with wigs made of either real human hair or a wig made of synthetic fibers.

The 1960s Retro Fan style Metal Afro Pick is fashioned more for practical and traditional reasons than for political ones but still it holds on to the traditional Black Power status due to its color and the fact that the rounded handle is reminiscent of some traditional ancient African combs made out of wood or bamboo that were carved & crafted to resemble the sun and the moon.
