Hair sticks

My hair sticks are sold individually, so you can mix and match. You may request a matched pair. These are more decorative than a pencil, and designed especially for you (unlike chopsticks). If you want your hairstick to show up well, it should be a different color than your hair (that is, brown feathers in brown hair do not show up well).

Wooden hairstick with beads

Hair Halters

These are my own design for controlling hair without using rubber bands.

The short style (about 6 inches long) has a bead or short hair halter with pottery beads decorative leather concho attached to a suede leather strip.  It functions as a pony-tail holder. The friction between the bead or concho and the leather strip holds very securely, but without tangling the hair.  $5.

The long style has 3, 4, or 5 beads to hold the hair in long hair halter with copper color metal beads multiple spots.  It gives a very elegant appearance, making one think of a princess with beads braided into the hair, but is quite simple to use.  $10 - $15
