Hair Stick

A Hair Stick (also hair stick) is a straight, pointed device, usually between five and nine inches in length, used to hold a person's hair in place in a hair bun or similar hairstyle.

Unlike many hair pins, which are usually small and quite simple, hair sticks are often more elaborate and decorative, and feature jeweled or carved designs that make them stand out as pieces of luxury jewelry. The price of hair sticks varies greatly depending on the style, materials and craftsmanship - the cheapest pairs of plastic hair sticks can cost less than a dollar, while a single, hand-crafted hair stick by an artist can cost over two hundred dollars.

Modern Use of Hair Sticks

Hand-crafted, purpose-made jeweled hair sticks that add color and flair to hairstyles have overtaken the use of simpler chopsticks, and have become a more popular hairstyle embellishment.

Because of the wide availability of components for the crafting of hair sticks, making home-made hair sticks has also become a popular trend. Many people enjoy making their own pieces using the blank sticks that can be online, and buying pins, crystals and beads from various online suppliers. A large number of these kinds of pieces are also put up for auction online.
