@wavezncurlz I finally used my hairstick!

I loooove this thing! Unfortunately, I already kinda bent the top piece when putting it in my hair this morning. Gotta be more careful next time.

Thanks WyrdWay

wavezncurlz At least I'm not alone! As soon as I felt the top "shift" I was like YOU IDIOT!!! hahaha... I took so many angles tryna get the perfect pic to impress you like a judge. Nervous, sweating, then not sure if I put it in properly... J/K sorta

I want more!!!

LOL at trying to impress me!

I'm glad you like them. They are like my hobby and I need to treat them more like jewelry. My DD stepped on one the other day I broke it. I wanted to DIE! I need to buy some bags for them b/c now I keep them in a pretty tall cup.

Hi,

Thx!

You are a pusher! @makemild

Nevertheless, I'm heading on over there!

ETA: YIKES - nothing really that I like left. There are 3 sticks at 2:12 pm!!!! Oh well, my bank account thanks me.

 

[itsallaboutattitude]

lol wavezncurlz

I know, when I clicked there were 8 sticks. When I tried to view another stick it was like 6 sticks left.

He has a huge custom order list. So I think he only made a few sticks for general sale. I will have to budget for this one and do a custom order.

 

[wavezncurlz]

makemild. Me too. His sticks were on my wish list last year for hubby but he didn't get the big deal. He can't understand the prices at all. I tried to explain that they are a piece of art and like jewelry to me. I'm gonna keep at it though. Maybe for my birthday in September?

 

[itsallaboutattitude]

wavezncurlz

Yeah Mdwezi (sp?) showcase of these sticks have put him in my favorites on etsy since last year or the year before.

When I saw that sale today (it's payday), I had high hopes. But I am gonna just have to splurge.

I want one that has a cat design like this one...

My attempt at a Southern Tease bun on natural hair.

makemild they are really unique. It's amazing how you can find inexpensive sticks that are just as nice as the expensive ones. Thanks for sharing with me.

wavezncurlz Tuesday's bun with quecraft hair stick (stick posted earlier in this thread).

Wednesday was a pony tail day.

 

[skraprchik]

This thread is always so quiet. Maybe we need a weekly check in showing how we're wearing our hair toys this week.

I read so many comments on various threads about buns being damaging, and I wonder how they are being made. Maybe some of the long-time bun and hair stick wearers can show how they're being used in place of elastics.

Thanks! That's a great idea. This thread seems to get a lot of views but not a lot of joiners. It used to be jumping up in here but not recently. I've tried to keep it up but when you're not getting much traffic, it's hard to keep it moving. I just thought that maybe sticks weren't "trendy" enough for the younger set.

I wonder if we should start a new thread - on hair toys in general. What do you all think?

 

[skraprchik]

Sounds like a good idea! Today is shampoo day for me, but I'd love to show some of my daily styles that aren't damaging and also get a look at everyone's collections. I know I can't be the only one out there with several hair toys.
