Determining Which Hair Sticks Are Best For Your Hair |

|
Do you have very thick or 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 hair sticks to easily create elegant updos. Unless you plan to create really complicated styles, only those with incredibly long hair (past hip length), or extremely thick or curly hair will require the longer wood sticks we use to design our LongLocks RapunzelStix line to fashion stunning hairstyles in your lovely long locks. |

For example, at this writing my very straight and smooth hard-to-keep-anything-in hair is just about 32" long (just at the bottom on my hip bone). Although my hair is fine (in reference to the diameter of each hair) it is reasonably thick (in reference to all my hair gathered together). Despite my hair's length, two regular-length bone LongLocks HairSticks easily hold all my hair securely in a braided bun. Being as long as it is, my hair would have to be a fair amount coarser or thicker for me to 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 sometimes use LongLocks RapunzelStix when I create hair styles that use just one hairstick to hold all my hair; however, I can often create updos with just one regular-length stick if the hairstyle doesn't require that my hair has to be wrapped around the stick more than once or twice, at the most. If in the end you decide you'd like to go for something in the middle, there are always LongLocks ZenStix, which work wonderfully in almost every type of hair! Still unsure of what is best for you? Try practicing with pencils the same length as the hair accessories 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 inserting 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! |
