Well, I received my gift a couple of years ago, and it included this gorgeous LOTR-themed hairstick handmade by my very talented and lovely gifter, Nightshade (from Nightblooming in Etsy):
It's delightfully nerdy, really, really beautifully made, and it holds my hair great (curvy sticks a a huge yes when it comes to straight slippery fine hair such as mine).
Action shot :D!
This is my post-wash slippery hair in a flipped-up bun (one of my favourite updos), and the stick still holds wonderfully, not only with pre-wash dry-shampooed (and thus, more texturized and less slippery) hair! I only needed a couple of little claw clips to fully secure the bun, just to be safe, because it was holding pretty well on its own.

Wow, that stick is amazing! And slippery hair is cool, so shiny as always! :D
ReplyDeleteThank you :) It's cool until styles start not to hold well, though :D
DeleteAh, but styles don't hold well on me too! Now I just use buns held with claw clips, I really need too because it divides the weight, it's not the hair that is heavy, its just tender scalp, specially in my cowlick zone...
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome Ríona! :D
I always use two or three small claw clips (and a liberal amount of simple/curvy bobby pins as well, sometimes!) to secure most styles with sticks and forks, too. Curvy sticks like this one hold much better, though :)
