Since I've been wearing hair sticks for a while now I'm finding the shorter sticks easier to use. Unlike my Ketylos which have a usable length of 7 inches, these sticks have a usable length of 5 3/4 inches. I plan on buying shorter sticks.
 
I really want a shelot but I'm not so sure how it would fit over my bun. I'd like one with two sticks with a usable length of about 5.5 to 6 inches. RavensLair sells some from time to time:

Here's how they look in the hair:

^^^All of these pics are from RavensLair site. These are her creations.

There's a lady over at the Long Hair Community that has a lot of shelots and I love the way they look.
 
:heart:I'm loving these posts. I need to get some more hair sticks (only have 2 pairs). Thanks for starting this thread OP.

Wannabelong how did you do this? Do you have a tutorial on it?

Here is an action shot of my first pair of crowned ketylos with "zebra girl" toppers. I posted in the challenge thread too.

Thanks for the compliments everyone! :giggle:

I've got a lot of sticks, but now I want to venture into forks. I only have 2. One is metal from ebay and holds like a ROCK! The other is a flimsy plastic one, it's short so it literally pops up and out of my bun. Wavezncurlz, you have one from Mairyzdozy right? How does that curve work? Is it comfortable? I really like her stuff and it's on sale for now :yay:
 
SmilingElephant, I received the hair sticks in the mail 2 weeks ago. I forgot to update, I'm sorry. Thanks again for forwarding them to me. They are beautiful.
 
CelinaStarr those are so pretty! The Shelots seem interesting, but I'm afraid I'd be pulling hairs from in between the beads. I already have that problem with flexi 8s sometimes.

I just ordered my 3rd pair of BFM sticks....she's just as lovely as Fox from Sticks and Stones! I can't wait to see them, the pics she emailed me where literally breathtaking!

Please post pics. :yep: I love her sticks. I'm also worried about pulling hairs with the shelot plus my buns are so big I don't know if they would fit over them.

I have that same problem with the flexi 8s too. I do like the Shelots though.
 
I want to order more sticks from Sticks and Stones but it's not in the budget right now.
:( I need ketylo sticks with red, pink, white/clear and blue toppers.

Sorry I just saw your question. I wish the mention feature was back. It was very helpful.

It isn't especially comfortable if you wear it vertically (it scratches my neck)

It's not so bad when worn like this:

The silver one is more comfortable - 5 inches. The copper one is longer and tends to hurt a bit more.

I don't wear them often but I really like the way they look.

The Shelots are interesting. I've never seen anything like that. I would also worry about the beads catching my hair. If anyone gets them, please give us a report and an action shot.
 
Today I'm wearing the blue-green Ketylo aquapearls from Ketylo Hairsticks Home Page

^^^Mine look very blue in color despite being called blue-green but I still love them. :)

AWESOME!!!! do you make any of your hair sticks?!!!

i found it quite easyyy to make them!! i have alot of beaded jewelry and get the wire from a craft store like AC moore.. so many colorful stones and beads i put together on some chopsticks from any chinese restaurante, file sticks with a nail file then polish with nail polish!! for example if i have purple beads or stones i would polish the stick with purple nail polish...

COST IF YOU MAKE THEM YOURSELF: 3$

COST IF YOU BUY THEM: 20$-25$

you can even make the earrings to match!!


:grin::grin::grin::grin::grin::grin::grin:

im just saying.......

No, but I've heard people getting those comments over at the Long Hair Community. People can be so rude. I would still wear them though. Don't stop wearing them as often as you'd like just because of one rude person.

If you don't like the sticks so high up try making your buns lower, inserting the sticks more horizontally, or using shorter sticks.

I can't wait to see the pics.

Sound like a great idea, don't share too much you might make a business for yourself. Good luck!
 
Wavezncurlz thank you so much! That was really helpful, because I was considering the 5in. I really like the silver ones! god I miss the mention button >:(
