Determining Which Hair Sticks Are Best For Your Hair


Pink Graphic Bar

Do you have very long hair and are puzzled whether regular length LongLocks HairSticks® are right for you or if you should instead order LongLocks RapunzelStix? As a general rule, almost anyone can use our regular length bone or wood sticks to create elegant updos. Only those with incredibly long hair (past hip length) or extremely thick or curly hair will require the longer wood sticks we use for our LongLocks RapunzelStix line to design stunning hairstyles. For instance, my very straight and smooth hair at this writing is just about 32" long (just at the bottom on my hip bone) and is fine but reasonably thick for being so. Two bone LongLocks HairSticks securely hold all my hair in a single braided bun. Being as long as it is, if my hair were a bit coarser or thicker I would be inclined to use our longer LongLocks RapunzelStix, but I expect even if my hair grows several more inches I will still be able to use the regular length sticks. I do usually use LongLocks RapunzelStix when I create hair styles that use just one hairstick to hold all my hair.

Still unsure of what is best for you? Try practicing with pencils the same length as the hair sticks in which you are interested (don't forget to allow an inch or so for the jeweled end, which won't affect the length of hair stick that holds your hair). Be sure to sharpen the pencils so the wood is very smooth and doesn't catch your hair (a light rub with some fine sandpaper wouldn't hurt), and scribble with them before insterting them into your hair so you dull the ends a bit. You'll soon have a good idea of which style of LongLocks HairSticks® is right for you!
