Hairstyles for Hairsticks

November 24, 2011 By Hair Romance 10 Comments

Have you used hairsticks before?

I remember in school using pens to put our hair up. You’d twist your hair up into a kind of French roll / bun and put a pen in your hair to keep it in place. It’s actually a really easy way to style long hair. Plus, as you’re not pulling it through a hairband, or using strong clips, you don’t risk damaging or breaking your hair. A lovely reader who bought my ebook contacted me as she makes hairsticks that are amazingly detailed. She sent me some to try and I think they look so much better than a pen in your hair!

How-to: Easy hairsticks hairstyle

  1. Pull your hair into a low pony
  2. Twist down, then up into a pleat (like a French roll)
  3. Tuck the end of your hair inside the pleat
  4. Push hairstick through to secure the roll. I have used two crossed over as this holds better.

Why not try hairsticks with braids?

I think they add a pretty detail to these styles, and I was surprised how well they held in my hair. I haven’t used any bobby pins in these styles, just the hairsticks.

Have you tried hairsticks to style your hair? How do you wear them?

    I just bought a number of decorative hair sticks and then realized the only style I know to do is a bun or french braid. Thanks for sharing this. I’m going to try the sticks with some of the styles from your hair book too.

      Thanks Michelle! You can use hairsticks with any style, even just as an accessory.

    I love hair sticks, they look great! Can you advise the person who makes the ones you use and where to buy them please. Also can you do some instructions on how to put the hair sticks in, just shove them in or do you have to weave them in so they stay?

    thanks

      Hi Vina,
      Thank you! The hairsticks are hand made by Treva who sells them in her Etsy Store – http://www.etsy.com/shop/Hairjems
      The hairsticks come with instructions but that’s a great idea for a follow up post.
