Yep, thats me. I haven't received them yet but when I do I'll let you know. I did receive the free sticks that she sent to make up for this mix up and I love them. They are my first pair of hair sticks and I am now hooked. Once I receive yours I will figure out how to post a picture of both of them. As you can see from my post count, posting is something that I don't do, but you and these sticks have brought me out of hiding again :lol:
 
^^^ It's a small world after all... what a coincidence that you got each other's orders.

Gotta love a free gift for the mix up!
 
I tried using hair sticks again. My hair was loose and stretched, and it worked out pretty well after a couple of tries. I did it again using twists (despite my initial failures) and it sort of worked out, but not as well as the loose and stretched hair worked. Mwedzi I have a question for you since we have a similar hair type. How do you keep your loose hair from matting when twisted up? After I let my hair down from the roll my strands were suddenly bffs and sticking together. I find this happens a lot when I don't keep them in twists. Does this happen to you at all?

I love this thread :)

I've been practicing, but how are you ladies putting the hairsticks in without some of the hairs at the scalp pulling?

You have to pull some scalp hair to make them stay in place

Thanks SmilingElephant, I was really hoping there was a way to avoid pulling those hairs to anchor the bun.

Does anyone have any success with using hairsticks without the pulling of scalp hairs?
 
wavezncurlz, your hair looks great with those hair sticks. That blue stick and the earrings look nice with your dark hair. I like how every color tends to "pop" in dark hair.

Rei, I wish I had better advice for you. From my understanding some hair types do tend to mat when worn loose. Keeping you hair in twists or in stretched out styles may be best for you. Have you also tried pm'ing Mwedzi with this question? Too bad the Mentions feature isn't working now. I would send out a Mention to her to get her attention. But I'm sure she'll come to this thread soon and see your question. :yep: BTW, the single red stick in your updo looks so cute and your hair is so pretty. Love the twists.

Instead of pointing the sticks in the opposite direction you can simply weave them through without going in the opposite direction and flipping them over. Also, try not to grab too much scalp hair when beginning to insert them. Using two sticks instead of one can help distribute the weight of the bun; thus, relieving tension. You have to play around with inserting the sticks so that they are not too tight and cause too much tension. Also, not making your updos too tight helps.

Ketylos are the most comfortable and easiest to insert without causing tension for me. With my other hair sticks I grab as little scalp hair as possible when inserting them and I don't always go in the opposite direction and flip them over when inserting them. You just have to experiment and play around with them and also consider the position of the sticks such as inserting two sticks parallel to each other, forming an x, etc. I think using two sticks are better for those of us with really thick and heavy hair because (depending on how they're positioned) they distribute the weight of the updo more evenly.

Celina, I'm so mad you introduced me to yet another vendor that now I want something from. :angry2: I totally want these: Ice Queen Kanzashi Hair Sticks by ForeverSunshine on Etsy

But I can't because I just ordered a copper hair fork. Boo!

But y'all remember that I won a gift certificate from Barefoot Maiden. I got these sticks from her:

@CelinaStarr: As soon as they come in, I will post an "action shot" for sure! Your sticks are to die for!!!
 
Today I'm wearing the Forest Queen hair sticks from BarefootMaiden:

I haven't washed my hair in almost a week now and I really like the way plain wooden sticks such as these hold my hair when it hasn't been washed in a while.
 
I ordered 4 more pairs of keytlos from Sticks and Stones and I can't wait for them to arrive. Fox is so wonderful, I wanted the hazelnut sticks crowned with "honey hive" toppers but she didn't have any more of those beads. She sent pictures of some alternatives for me to choose from. She provides wonderful customer service. I think she may have a customer for life. :)
 
I finally got all the issues ironed out with my computer and I have pictures of hairsticks!! :yay::yay::yay:

I got all of these from ebay
