Thanks! TimberstoneTurnings had a sale in March. It was just 10% off + free shipping, but that was enough to about triple or quadruple his normal custom order list. If you compare the March custom list to the April custom list, you'll see what I mean. He's actually making it through at a pretty fast clip. It seems he's putting out orders now that were placed about a month ago. You'll notice I'm not too far from the top of his list now. :yay: Anyway, given the March sale, it might take a month to get your stick. Normally it seems to take 1-2 weeks.

The Mei Fas I got off the swap/sell board over on LHC.
 
Hi Mwedz!

Yes, they are the Honey Hive topper.

Pretty! Those middle ones have the Honey Hive topper, right? I was just looking at those and drooling.

Well, I'm having another custom stick made at Timberstone Turnings. on Etsy. I love his sticks. As a reminder, this is what my 1 hair stick by him looks like

I love that hairstick but I love how your twistout looks. I'd never get such defined "outs" in my life!

Yay - I love the idea of hairsticks but was clueless. I purchased two sets from a BSS last year but couldn't use them - didn't know how to do so successfully. They are the cheap plastic kind - it was just for trying them out. Entywho, I saw NaturalHairMane (??) using one in a YouTube video and decided to try it. I have one in now! Okay its not the neatest or fanciest but my hair in in place and it feels as if nothing is holding it there. No tension whatsoever. Now I'm ready to dive into deeper waters to buy some cute ones - yay
 
Thanks guys for suggesting Etsy for beautiful hair accessories. I found some really pretty hair sticks here: http://www.etsy.com/shop/LadyIdun?ref=top_trail

Their hair sticks are really unique - they have lots of unusual color combinations and they are made from acrylic. So you don't have to worry about your wet/damp hair or styling products ruining your hair sticks. Bonus: these hair sticks are as smooth as glass - no hair snagging!!! Yippee :grin:
 
Yes I do them on wet hair and let them dry if I can...that's probably the big problem. Sometimes the roots are still damp and by the end of the day frizz city....you think shea butter might hold the shape longer, I would love to have second day defined braidouts....thanks for you response.:grin:

If definition is the most important thing, anything that softens my hair or would add moisture to it actually would make my hair less defined. If it was soft and moisturized, it would puff up. The most defined twist outs I can get are with using no product at all. For those in that photo, I used Kimmaytube's leave in, but it may have had little to no oil, just the Knot Today and the aloe vera gel. My twist outs last all week.
 
wavezncurlz, here are the new sticks:

My scalp is starting to itch. So I'm washing my straight hair out today or tomorrow. Straight hair is harder for me to maintain but it's easier to style while straight because it's not as thick and bulky.

With my straight hair my Ficarres don't hurt and can easily hold all of my hair:

I like the look of hair combs in my straight hair too and they easily hold my hair:

I can easily get one hair stick to hold my straight hair:

I like my natural hair too but using my hair toys in straight hair is fun.
 
wavezncurlz, Ketylos are the only hair sticks I buy now. I prefer the 7 inch sticks plain and the 6 inch sticks with toppers. I do have 7 inch sticks with toppers but I think they look best worn as singles and not as pairs. So I am still wearing them but I prefer the 6 inch sticks with toppers.

Strangely, I exercised yesterday and rode my horse today and my straight hair still didn't sweat all the way out. I know I really should wash my hair now, but I just don't feel like it. At this point I plan on wearing my hair straight as long as its lasts. The edges have become frizzy but overall my hair is still pretty straight. I thought I would have sweat my hair out by now.
 
Okay, here are some 7 inch Ketylos with toppers. I think they look best worn as singles. When I wear my hair natural again I'm going to work on getting one stick to hold my hair. mwedzi, does it all the time and her hair is also natural and thick. I like the look of one stick holding the hair:

Nice ketylos. This one and the matching earrings are my favorite. I don't have as much hair as you, but I can get it up with one stick.

And I love the Ficcares! They are my favorite. What is the first one (looks kind of orange)? Is it coming out true to color in that picture?
 
mwedzi, the Ficcare is a caramel color. It's from the Border II Maximas Collection. It's called Caramel With Gold and it's a size large.

The hair stick is from Sticks and Stones. It's a 7 inch Ketylo Purpleheart hair stick with Blushing Lime toppers.
