My new hairstick! Etsy vendor quecraft. It took over 4 weeks to get here, but it was worth the wait.

That's the only reason why I don't order from Quecraft much. The wait is long! Her stuff is nice and the price is reasonable though.
I just ordered these from Purple Moon Designs who has some of her sticks on sale.

Thanks!
Checked out Purple Moon Designs. I am trying to hold out on purchasing anything hair related until 4th quarter of this year. I think I have enough hair toys!

makemild, that's really cute!!! The butterfly (or is it a dragonfly?) is adorable. Beautiful hair, too.
Her work is very nice and the prices are inexpensive. For something so nice you'd think they'd be more expensive. I agree with the wait time, because I always worry about stuff getting lost in the mail. If it weren't for the wait time I would definitely buy from her more often.

I picked up a zebra and giraffe hairstick on my trip to South Africa. They are made of some kind of bone.
My hair is in crochet braids, using Freetrss Bohemian Braid in #2 & #4/27.

I received these hairsticks today. I actually like the one with the butterfly better. The wood on the stick is just beautiful. The butterfly is not small. Overall, a classy hairstick. The purple hairstick is darker than the picture and the topper is smaller than I thought it would be. But I do like the stick.

I'm so sad... I broke my two "everyday" hair sticks. The only good thing is I now have a valid reason (excuse-lol) to buy some more...

jupitermoon - love the bangs! I have long since grown out my bangs but sometimes I wear them out. They are way too long. I may get them cut for styling purposes.
naturalmanenyc - I'm jealous you went to South Africa! Nice souvenir!
SmilingElephant - stick around, you'll be wearing sticks before you know it.
Candy828 - I'm glad you like them. Isn't it weird how the pictures don't always depict the sticks well? Sometimes my favorite ones are not the ones I would have picked based on the picture alone.
goldielocs - I hate when that happens!

Geminigirl, I've been able to use hairsticks and my hair isn't APL yet. If your hair in the front isn't long enough, you can do a pompadour until it grows out.
I tried out sticks using some inexpensive ones I found at a BSS to see if they would work.
And then I bought these.
I later invested in some fancier ones.
And then I got in on the Ketylos sale buy 3 get one free. Here's one I wore. Ignore the look on my face.

StephElise - Thanks for the pics, I ended up being in the same boat of having short hair once I BC'ed and after buying my first hair sticks. I kind of just put them aside because I didn't know how to use them with short hair. Those are great styles that I think I will try this week.

This thread has led me down the path to hair toy addiction . I love it! I've now got 2 Barefoot Maiden sets, 7 flexi-8's, a couple of HairZings, and a Lady Idun acrylic stick on the way. I'm wearing one stick from a set I got a few years ago but didn't know how to use. Thanks for the tutorial links. I'm pretty sure that I also have influenced my best friend to get on the hair stick bandwagon.

Beautiful sticks ladies!!
Special Request:
Would those with shorter hair (Shoulder Length-Arm Pit Length) mind doing VIDEOS on how to use hairsticks ... I thought my hair had to be much longer to use them successfully... I'm really inspired by the pics but I learn better from seeing it in action
Also if you know of some other youtube videos showing how to use them on shorter hair could you post a link?
THANKS

I would have done his for you if I had seen this post earlier. Unfortunately, I shampooed my hair this morning and it's back to the wash-n-go. Basically I rolled my sides to the back of my head, pinned that down with some Bobby pins, then did a French twist and pinned that down with the hair stick. It held like a rock.
Here's a video of pretty much what I did. I only used one stick though, and it went kinda diagonal through the twist

Today I wore one Spice Goddess stick from Barefoot Maiden:
I haven't washed my bangs since Monday and they don't look bad:
See the really short curl on the end?:
^^^^That's the piece of short hair along my hairline that I added to the bangs.
I like the one hair stick look like mwedzi

Nice stick. I do like the one stick look. I wore it today, with a custom order from Long Hair Loom. She puts beads on ketylos, but I ordered the bead separately, sent it to her, and had her mount it on the ketylo. This is the bead I ordered:
http://www.etsy.com/transaction/50950210
She mounted it with some small gold findings on a 7" ketylo, some natural wood, don't know what it is.

mwedzi I never thought of using my own beads. I like the result
jupitermoon - the red looks nice against your dark hair.
I just received these sticks today from http://www.etsy.com/shop/PacificMerchantile?page=4
I love how smooth his acrylic sticks are. The 7inches are my favorite. I love this color:
I have a number of coin jewelry pieces. I thought this one went well with my collection:
ETA: He always adds a bonus stick. This time it's a blonde colored wooden stick. It's really pretty. Action pictures later.
