I bought some really nice wood sticks from eaduard hairsticks. Bought 4 and he sent me 5. I'm going to get acrylics from him next.
I also have one from ketylo.com. I love it but they are too expensive

I want to get a fork too.
This stuff is addictive i'm done buying products and I've moved on to this now erplexed

I wear my hair in a bun with a single hair stick every day. It's so easy once you get the hang of it. I'll have to post some pics of my buns later. I do something similar to a nautilus bun most days and sometimes I do a figure 8

Hey Ladies,
Please post your sticks in your hair when you get a chance. I stopped updating this thread a while ago because I thought I was talking to myself. I'm still a hairstick aficionado and wear one (or a fork) even when I start off with a wng.

ChocolatePie777 I hope you like your purchase. I love Eaduard's work. Here's an action shot of one of his hair forks in my hair. I think I like them even more than the stick. I love how smooth his wood is and I even use them when I start with wet hair.

Another fork I recently purchased came from OruAka and I love it too. The wood is very pretty.

Finally last 3 forks from Crystal Mood..

leiah
I want to see your LONG *** hair in your forks. I bet it's absolutely drool worthy!

SMH. Ain't never coming in here again! JK! Luv y'all!

 

[wavezncurlz]

LOL - sowwy ya'll. I am glad everyone is enjoying their purchases.

 

[JoyBelle]

wavezncurlz your hair looks so pretty with the fork!

I thought about getting some sticks this weekend, then happened upon this thread tonight. I'm using simple chopsticks until I get around to ordering some sticks. I generally keep my hair in twists, a bun with sticks will be a welcome change.

wavezncurlz I will post pics soon I promise!

It's good to hear that you can use eaduards wooden sticks in wet hair, i've been afraid to.
Your hair looks great with that fork and I absolutely love that cedar one there's a bunch like that that i've been wanting to buy.

Haha, I too have a love/hate relationship with this thread! Money seems to miraculously disappear from my wallet whenever this thread is bumped!

Pretty!

I really want to try hair forks (I'm not skilled enough for sticks yet) But I don't think my hair is long enough for them and then I never know what's a good length to start out with...

 

[ChocolatePie777]

Thanks wavez.....that looks great!......

Still waiting on my etsy order...grr

I just ordered multiple hair forks from etsy vendor mairzydozy that look something like the item at the link below. She also has a hair chart pic. Tried to post it here but it came in too big. Check out her site.

Most of my hairsticks are between 3" and 4". My hair is thin and around APL. Hope that helps.

I went to the site at 2:30 and there was about 4 left. After I reviewed them, I refreshed, and there was 2 left. Went to put one in my shopping cart and there was only 1 left!

I think I got it but we'll see!

I was on it at 2p exactly. Had one in my cart and somehow when I clicked checkout - it was Gone!

Almost purchased another, but really liked my first pick.

So mad...

I will be on it next Friday.

Post pic of your stick please.

 

[wavezncurlz]

bumpity bump!!!
I know my sticks and forks helped me keep my hair protected. During the holidays I wore my hair out a lot (straight and in twistouts). I am close to WL again.

Now I'm back to bunning and updos.

Here's my newest buy - cheap and pretty from my favorite etsy seller
Eaduard

The first set is watercolor - $9 each. I got the mint water (first on left)

The second set also $9 each and I got the purple monster (last on right)


Happy New Year Ladies!

Sorry, I just saw this. This is the one I bought. I haven't taken an action shot yet. You reminded me to wear it soon.

I need to read through this thread. How are u all using them with curly hair? Do u put them in while the hair is still sopping wet? I haven't bought any sticks in a long time bc i dont know how to use them with curly hair.

How long are ur sticks if u do use them on curly hair? My hair is Apl when wet.

I do use them on wet hair sometimes. If it is wet, I use a stick that is acrylic ( like the ones above) or metal (steel or aluminum). Some woods can take wet hair but some will warp. I try to save my woods for stretched hair that is dry.

I use 6 inches or longer and my curly hair is about SL to APL depending on how stretched it is. At apl I wouldn't go less than 5 inches.

I use the same techniques putting my hair up using sticks whether it's curly or straight. Make sure your stick is smooth when you use on curly hair through. Actually they stay better in my curly hair. Let me look for some videos and post them later for you.

I did a 3 picture sequence tutorial thing but I can't find it. I style my hair like I'm putting it in a ponytail, twist it upward, tuck it under, and put stick through.

Another way I do it is to do a round bun and push the stick through.

I might have to have my husband help me make a video. It won't be all fancy and edited.

 

[Ogoma]

I would like to figure this out. I tried one, but it almost broke while putting it in my hair so I haven't done that again.

 

[Lita]

Can't wait for spring to bring my hair sticks back out..

Happy Hair Growing!

@itsallaboutattitude

Waiting for the action shot. I've got my hair in a bun with regular hair pins. My hair is straight just now and most of my toys won't stay.
