Hair Sticks are the newest fad in hair accessories and one of the oldest as well, going back as far as the ancient east, China, Japan and Egypt.

Hair sticks can be used to secure an updo or bun or your hairstyle can be secured with pins and the hair stick added as adornment only. The second option gives you more freedom to be creative. Hair sticks can be inserted in French braids or twists as an accent. If you use them to anchor your hairstyle, you have a classic look that goes up quickly and comes down just as quickly with the removal of the hair stick.

Hair sticks are available in wood, plastic, bone and metal. They can be styled simply or elaborate with ornate beads and stones. Some may have tassles on the end. An example of this type of hair stick can be found at

Double prong hair sticks are best for anchoring a chignon or bun, but can also be used decoratively in braids or whatever style you wish to adorn. I found a nice selection of reasonably priced hair sticks at Long Haired Girl dot com.
