This is a style I wore for a concert outing back in 2016, with a side French braid and my one-coil variation of a hairstick bun which is typically called the 'Chinese bun' in hair forums (not because of the hairstick per se, I don't think, as there are many buns and updos that involve hairsticks. But I'm not sure as to what origin the forum name for the style actually has, and if it's a similar example to a braid being referred to as 'French' or 'Dutch', or if the origin is more stereotypical in nature :S Just in case, I now tend to call this a one-coil 'hairstick bun' in a more neutral way).
For this one-coil bun I used my Hairjems cobalt hairstick with
detachable dangles, using just the short detachable dangle around the
bun, as well as a star hairpin I got during a 2012 trip to Vienna.
