Unicorn-Hair

Unicorn hair was a powerful magical substance with a variety of uses, originating on the body of a unicorn. It could be used as the core of wands. It was frequently shed from the creature.
==Wandlore==
Unicorn hair could be used in wand-making, as wand cores. Wands with these cores produced the most consistent magic, were least subject to fluctuations and blockages, were most difficult to turn to the Dark Arts, and were the most faithful of wands. However, they did not make the most powerful of wands (unless the wand wood compensated) and were prone to melancholy if mishandled. The wandmaker Garrick Ollivander made wands with unicorn hairs.
==Known uses==
Unicorn tail hairs were also used in potions, though their exact uses and properties were unknown, although the Beautification Potion was known to contain them. This was commented on by Harry Potter during conversation with Firenze in the Forbidden Forest.
