The hair sticks thread---all about hair sticks (pictures included)

CelinaStarr said:
Thank you so much ladies. I'm very touched. :bighug: You are all so kind.

wavezncurlz, is right. I started a new job last week and so far I like it. Adjusting to a new job is stressful. I can't wait until I finally feel comfortable.

I have been kind of taking a break from hair. I just haven't been very interested in hair lately. I still wear my hair sticks almost everyday and have been wearing mostly Ketylos. Recently I purchased the new acrylics from Ketylo Hairsticks Home Page and I just received them today.

I haven't been into hair lately or taking pictures either but I have still been wearing my hair sticks most days.

I appreciate all of the pictures that you ladies have contributed to this thread. They are beautiful. I'll try to post pics soon.

Celina welcome back. Do you wear your hair sticks to work? I would love to wear mine at work but I'm so terrified a confused patient will yank it out of my hair and someone could get hurt.:ohwell: I guess all the horror stories especially from pre psych clinicals have me paranoid!!!!!
 
Celina,
Thanks for checking in! I understand adjustment to change. We hope to see you posting again as soon as you feel up to it. :)

well, due to an unfortunate "incident" my hairstick collection has diminished by about 80% I had 8 flexi 8's, I'm down to 3. I had about 40 hairsticks (pairs and singles) I'm now down to about 7. :(

But...all is not lost. I've gone on a buying frenzy and have no intentions of letting it stay that way. Hmph!

SIGH....let's just say it has to do with a man. Ladies, never let your man think your hair toys are more important than him cuz he WILL break your hairsticks lol :lachen:

But seriously, I've been on a mission to replace all that was lost. I've got like 4 packages in the mail :look:

I never wear my hair sticks with the toppers to work. I just wear my plain Ketylos. As for confused patients, I never get close enough for them to grab me. Usually when I have a patient that is becoming increasingly agitated and potentially violent I call someone else to come in the room and help. I've had to call a code yellow a few times.

I do believe the hair sticks with dangles and toppers could get in the way but plain hair sticks without toppers or dangles should be okay to wear to work. I also tend to wear my darker colored hair sticks to work and leave the fancy bright ones for off days.

If I worked on a psych ward I don't think I'd wear hair sticks and I don't think I'd be allowed to wear them either. I vaguely remember my clinicals on the psych ward and they had specific dress codes. I do worry about my hair being pulled by patients and failing into yucky stuff. That's why I never wear it down to work. Not even in a ponytail, because my hair could easily fall over my shoulders onto the patient and into yucky stuff.

Here is what I have been buying..... Asian Chopstick hairpins or just plan Asian chopsticks some with pictures, dangles, Asian writing or just plain chopsticks. But they come in 7 to 9 inches and they are cheap. From .99 cents to 10.00.

You can find the same type of chopsticks on ebay...

@ CelinaStarr I am glad you are back and everything is going well for you!:yep:
 
Sooooo beautiful and feminine.

I'm so sorry I chopped all my hair off. I feel like buying some anyway to stock up for when my hair grows back.
 
Such beautiful sticks and hair in this thread!:love:

I plan to start a collection this year, as I plan to bun a lot. I just have to keep them away from my 3 year old. She loves to try to reach around and pull them out of my hair when I pick her up.

^^ I like that holder! It's a neat way to store the sticks.

The holder is simple to do... It is a half of a coconut shell. You just smooth it out, punch holes in it and get someone to shellac it for you (to give it shine) or you can do it yourself. People do it here..... They have some creative ways of conserving and recycling...

I think this is available on ebay as well... actually I found one... here is the link

That's neat. I would never have thought about recycling coconut shells like that. Thanks for the link. Bumping the thread :grin:
 
Bump, got my hairsticks in the mail today! I was totally doubting myself when I pulled them out, thinking "Oh, my new growth is too thick, my hair's too greasy, it's too this and that for the stick to hold properly."

But I followed the how-tos and got it in on the first try! I was (and still am!) amazed at how secure it is! I seriously thought that as soon as I let go of my hair, everything would come tumbling down.

Good bye, hair scrunchies! It was nice knowing you! My fine hair is gonna LOVE this!!
 
Candy, I love that coconut holder and the hair sticks. You're very crafty.

Here are my Ketylo acrylics (new aquapearls):

My new purchases:
1) from beaconsfield designs (just found shop on a search and this set was only $14.00

2) Aliarose again
I am realizing that I like the aluminum sticks best.

I've yet to try the Ketylo acrylics. CelinaStarr - where is the best place to get Ketylo's?

Hi ladies,
I ordered some hair forks from 60th street 02 Feb I haven't seen them yet, has anyone ordered anything online from them and does it normally take this long to get the product?? TIA
 
Yesterday, I just got my hairstick that I ordered on the 23rd of January, even though she shipped it out right away. It takes a bit longer for me to get my things because I don't live in the US, but I'm going to assume there also was a bit of a backlog in the mail system due to the crazy winter weather. Grounded planes = stuff ain't going nowhere!
 
Thanks for responding, I live in the U.S. you would think that delivery would be sooner than this. I hate waiting.
