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

[Ivonnovi]

Thank you for sharing and posting these. I have a modest collection of these myself, but haven't seen too many people using these. I'll watch your videos and with a little practice will begin sporting mine more often,..... I even had a lady make a custom one for me.

Again "THANKS!!!!"

Hi @africanqueen456. All of the links where I purchase my hair sticks are at the bottom of my first post. I also posted more links in posts number 4 and number 16 too.

@wavezncurlz, thank you for all of your pictures. I really adore the Quecraft hair sticks especially in your hair. Your Chinese buns are amazing!!!!!!!! Please tell me how you made yours?

CelinaStarr great thread...I will keep watching..



Happy Hair Growing!

 

[kiadoris08]

Love this thread!!!Have a few could never figure out how to use them...

 

[EbonyCPrincess]

Very nice pics ladies! my go-to accessory is the EZ comb (obviously) but I will be going back to my very small collection of sticks soon (in a sew-in currently). the different looks are so elegant!

Here is the one and only style I have to contribute - a semi french roll with the ends curled: (sorry so small but click to enlarge)

 

[Amoreofcurls]

Amoreofcurls. What are you having difficulty with? Perhaps I can help. Did you watch the videos posted above? I found watching videos on YouTube helpful.

I JUST saw those videos, for some reason they didnt even load on my CPU when I first came in here, but that you so much!! the first video was definately helpful, and now I can see what ive been doing wrong...

Thanks for the mentions! Cool new feature, too.

I'm so happy to see an accessory thread. These days I'm not too enthused by products, but I love hair accessories.

I can personally vouch for like 4 of the sticks that Celina mentioned. I have a pair from Barefoot Maiden that I just got and they are so pretty. What's more, she is really wonderful to work with and works hard to make sure you get just what you want:

These two AliaRose sticks I used in a yin yang bun, as I call it. I don't know its common name or if it even has one:

This is ketylo that I used to make a faux figure 8 bun:

 

[anon123]

This is my Timberstone Turning (etsy) stick:

Poor guy. The women over at LHC have worn him out with special requests! This is definitely the piece of have of the highest craftsmanship. I was very impressed when I got it. He inlays stones and shells and what not into wood and polishes it and coats it until it's as smooth as glass. Beautiful work.

This is a cheap stick I got from Ebay. Actually, I got 2 but dropped one and it broke. Guess you get what you pay for. Anyway, I still like my one remaining one because it's so long. I used it to make what I called a croissant bun:

These are from JasonsWoodworking on Etsy:

 

[Daeuiel]

mwedzi That croissant bun looks delicious! lol I can't wait until I have enough hair to use these pretty hair toys...

Thanks for making the thread, CelinaStarr!

As soon as I saw the title of this thread I knew it was you Celina.

Now where did you get the sticks that are in your very last pic of the second post. Those are what I'm looking for. They remind me of a japanese cherry blossoms hair ornament.

I've been browsing some of the links you gave me a while back but i haven't decided on an order yet. I'd love to get the ones like in your last pic though, they all are beautiful!

That half up half down style is soooo pretty!

 

[jupitermoon]

@mwedzi, thank you for showing us your beautiful pictures. You're one of my hair inspirations. It's so cool that we buy our sticks from the same sellers.

What can I say, lol, lol. I'm obsessed with hair sticks, lol. Thank you Pokahontas. Coming from you this means a lot.

^^^^@Pokahontas, I got these hair sticks from BarefootMaiden. They are called Shades of Romance- Rose Quartz, Garnet and Sterling Silver Dangle Hairsticks. Mine were custom made in 6.75 inches for the usable length and I received the matching earrings for free. BarefootMaiden is very kind and wouldn't mind custom making a pair for you if you ask her.

I've tried using hair sticks a few times. I bought 3 of them from Claire's, I think.

I used the stick as a base to make this bun.

I gave up on hair sticks and started using a clip.

 

[Chocolatelove2010]

MAMMA MIA

I just wanted to say your hair is Amazing. In fact, it's more than that. I don't think there's a word I could use to fully describe what I'm feeling, so I'll just settle with this --->

Love this Thread!!

Yes!....I love alligator clips! I use them all the time. So quick and easy. Only thing that bothers me about these are the little teeth that some of them have but other than that...love them.

 

[SimJam]

just ordered some items from quecraft ... her stuff is awesome

if I like the things, I'll order some for christmas presents

 

[jupitermoon]

naturalmanenyc, beautiful! I've never used the before but I like the way the alligator clips look. That clip looks gorgeous in your pretty hair!

SimJam, I can't wait to see pics! Did you happen to order the butterfly hair stick by any chance?

 

[jupitermoon]

I really like these hair sticks!

Spooked Jack O' Lantern Glow-in-the-Dark Pumpkin Hair sticks from Aliarose:

Thank you for all of the gorgeous pictures ladies. I can't wait to see more.

 

[BillsBackerz67]

I LOVE it!!

 

[LayneJ]

I love this thread!

Those videos are really informative. I've tried using hair sticks before and couldn't get them to work. I see now it was my technique. I'll try again, and post pics when I do (if I'm sucessful ).

SimJam, I can't wait to see pics! Did you happen to order the butterfly hair stick by any chance?

I almost got that one ... but I ended up chosing 2 of those double pronged hair pins and a cuff bracelet

Im only barely SL so I know I wont be able to do buns for now but I still have the urge to stock up on these longer hair accessories

 

[jupitermoon]

^^^ those are so cute do you have pumpkin scrubs to match? I ordered some halloween and christmas scrubs yesterday...I couldn't help myself

@BillsBackerz67, no, When it comes to my choice of clothing I'm more of a Plain Jane. I wear my solid blue scrubs almost everyday. I like the plain solid colors. I make up for being plain with my hair accessories. I bet those Halloween and Christmas scrubs are going to look cute on you.

I plan on buying Christmas/winter hair sticks. I already have my Fall ones.

 

[SmilingElephant]

So.....i'm mad.

I wanted to post pics of my sticks but my sister's camera is acting funny so i'll wait til she uploads them since she might know how to work it.

I'll be SO glad when i get my own camera.....i wish i could find a decent one for like $50-$70 bucks.

 

[BillsBackerz67]

I had to ask. ALL of my scrubs are solid as well, im not into the busy prints . But for some reason I really liked the tops i ordered I just have to make sure I don't accidentally wear them off season

Many of the sellers that make hair sticks hand make their items so there is usually only one copy available. But many do take requests for duplicates. If you are looking for a particular hair stick that I have let me know and I will tell you the seller and name of the hair stick so that you can request a duplicate.

The names and sellers of all of my hair sticks are in my Fotki in my hair sticks album Or you can ask here. .
