I got my first hair sticks today! The seller included a freebie, and I honestly I like it better than what I ordered. I am ordering more as soon as I get back home! I'm not sure why my bun looks so big but I'll take it. lol

coachchica - Don't you love how smooth his wood is? (OK that sounds weird) :blush::lachen:

He always give a freebie too. Love that about him. And your bun!!!! Ain't nothin' wrong with a big juicy bun! :lick:

Ms. Tiki
I'm glad you like your sticks. Please show some of them. I am sure they are lovely!
 
I have clear containers from the container store that I filled with bean bag filling, I stick my makeup brushes in there. (think of Sephora and how they display their makeup brushes for sale) I took my brushes out of one container and I'm going to store my sticks there.

That is an amazing idea....where does one find bean bag filler?..those soft marble looking beads might work too. Off to do some research.....thanx!

@wavezncurlz I am too ashamed to show my bootleg buns and my cheap BSS sticks. LOL

aww! I hope you can one day! As I said, my cheap BSS sticks were so cute. I just started buying the more expensive ones as art pieces. The cheap ones did fine for holding hair though.


I keep mine in a pretty mug from starbucks. I need a second one. I have an oblong narrowly shaped makeup bag (probably for makeup brushes - not much of a makeup person) that I use for travel.

I have seen really nice pouches though.

I've been peeping this thread and think i'm officially ready to get my absolute first stick or pair of sticks. Can one of you hairstick pro's (or all of you :giggle:) please recommend a nice starter set that won't kill my bank account? i'd like to purchase something today if possible that can arrive in 2 weeks or less for my first go at this. Thanks in advance :)

@Je Ne Sais Quoi, Crystal Mood has nice inexpensive hair sticks. From my experience, they're shipping is pretty fast. Que Craft has very nice sticks that are inexpensive buy shipping is slow. Also, you could use plain chop sticks; just make sure they are smooth. Some beauty supply stores sell hair sticks too.

ETA: wavezncurlz, didn't see your post. Sorry to hear that about Que Craft. :( I only ordered from her once, because the wait for the order to arrive was just too long, but I was very happy with my items.

Try your beauty supply store for really inexpensive ones.

See post 514 for link to Crystal Mood. They have a good variety and some sticks are really cheap. Also they always have good sales. They ship fast too.

Quecraft on etsy is cheap but I can't wait for a month for her stuff to come from vietnam. My last order never arrived and I got my money back after 60 days of waiting.

@SimJam I am so jelly of this fork. Maybe I can babysit for a while?

hehe, i got it from quecraft, i love her stuff
 
Got a big cut today. Not sure I like it. I miss my hair and I realize its my security blanket. Hoping I can work the hairsticks when curly. :(
 
wavezncurlz, I bet your cut looks amazing. Change is good. You should post pics. My longest layers are so close to touching the tops of my thighs but cutting it sounds good. I'm attempting to improve my looks (difficult task for me :lol:). My bangs are now about collarbone stretched and I love the short length. I might as well cut the rest.

OH NO!..PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DON'T DO IT!!!!.....I am sure it would look lovely if you did, but please DON'T cut all that luxurious hair off!!!!!!!....:drool::cry:I hope I am just really tired and misinterpreting this post!!!!
 
jupitermoon
here's my cut after I washed it. I like it much better curly.



Tried to do a bun and can't do it. Too many layers. My ponytail is tiny and there is no twisting it around for a bun. I did do this updo with a cheap stick. I don't know if it's protective anymore b/c the ends are out.

I'm not sure what I want to do with my hair, lol, but I'm really loving wavezncurlz new cut. :yep:

wavezncurlz, I think as long as the ends aren't rubbing against your shoulder/clothes it's a protective style. I like that updo and you may just need shorter hair sticks. Also, just leaving some hair out looks cute.
 
Thanks ladies. It's easier to do in the morning for sure. No tangles! :)
@jupitermoon I can't wait to see what you eventually decide. In the meantime, I'll still covet your length. :)

I'm learning all kinds of ways to use this hair stick.
 
wavezncurlz I love love LOVE your new cut!! :love3: I'm too chicken to get mine done, I don't really trust anyone else with my hair since starting this hair journey. I did break down and get it colored back in Feb though (its time for a retouch!!) and the stylist did ok, but scissors... :hide: Anyway, you know I love your hair, so now I just have one more reason!!

jupitermoon I can definitely empathize. Your hair is thicker than mine, and way longer too lol, but I can get how it just becomes too much after a while and you needing a change and all. I just took an inch off and contemplated more because it was just getting unmanageable. Turns out that I really needed to chelate and get rid of some ssk's, it's acting much better now. It also helped me to take a break from it by straightening.

Anyway, do what makes you happy! I remember how people went bananas when bubblingbrownshuga cut her hair, lol.
 
I love hair sticks I'm thinking that I should buy myself a pair of hairsticks every time I reach a hair goal.

jupitermoon - I can understand how you feel... I think our hair is probably the same length. However, I have fine strands but heavy density. So my hair is not as thick/weighted like yours. Sometimes I feel like it is too much and entertain the thought of cutting. But what I think I intend to do is maintain where I am, let my hemline be full and learn how to manage this length. I can't even think of longer hair if I can't manage what I have....:look:

Thanks Morenita! Your hair has grown! I think my new cut looks a lot like the back of your head used to look.
 
I just ordered this stick (thanks to this thread) I hope I don't break it




I also have a LadyIdun stick on the way and 2 custom orders pending. :grin:
