Today’s Tip

Find that you’re losing a lot more hair recently? Have your thyroid checked, excessive hair shedding is often a sign of thyroid trouble!

I’m not sure if you’ll be hearing from me again before the holidays are over, so let me wish everyone a happy one! And as always, thank you for your interest in LongLocks HairSticks!

The Ultimate Long Hair Lover’s Stocking Stuffer Holiday Gift Guide!

If you have a long hair lover in your life, we have the perfect list of stocking stuffer goodies that are sure to make them smile come Christmas morning. While they may not all actually fit in a stocking, everything listed below is under $50, highly rated and best of all, available from Amazon (and if you spend $25 at Amazon, most items even ship free!)

Extra Large Aquis Microfiber Towel The Ultimate Long Hair Lovers Stocking Stuffer Holiday Gift Guide!

We long-haired gurls have a LOT of hair to dry and our long locks hold a LOT of water. These microfiber towels are a dream come true. They absorb a tremendous amount of water very quickly and cut a typically really long drying time dramatically. Best of all, these are the really hard-to-find large towels, big enough for even very long tresses!

7X Magnification Wall Mount Mirror The Ultimate Long Hair Lovers Stocking Stuffer Holiday Gift Guide!

If your long hair lover loves updos or braids, one of these mirrors is an indispensable tool for seeing the back and sides of your head when mounted opposite another mirror. They’ll wonder how they ever lived without it.

Mebco Shower Detangler The Ultimate Long Hair Lovers Stocking Stuffer Holiday Gift Guide!

This is the greatest comb ever made, I own several of them. Though I’ve tried many tens of different wide-toothed combs, made of many different materials with many different finishes at many different price points, this is the only comb I’ve consistently used on my hair for more than a decade. Even my hubby, who has hair almost as long as mine (if you uncoil his tightly curled ponytail), insists on using only this comb (and he moves them, which is why I have to own several).

Spornette DeVille 1005 Boar Bristle Paddle Brush The Ultimate Long Hair Lovers Stocking Stuffer Holiday Gift Guide!

If your long-haired loved one has straight hair, this is their perfect brush. Made entirely of hair-nurturing boar bristle (so much more hair-safe than anything with sharp nylon bristles) and the perfect straight-hair paddle style, which can be one of the harder to find boar bristle brush styles. If your intended gift recipient has curly hair or hair so thick that boar bristles won’t penetrate, all is not lost! Try the next best thing, a Bass oval wood bristle brush.

Zebrawood Hair Fork The Ultimate Long Hair Lovers Stocking Stuffer Holiday Gift Guide!

If your intended gift recipient is more a “jeans and flats” kind of gurl rather than a “black leggings and Dolce & Gabbana boots” kinda of gurl, a hand carved wood hair fork should be right up her alley. Simple, beautiful and casual enough for every day!

L. Erickson Willow Comb The Ultimate Long Hair Lovers Stocking Stuffer Holiday Gift Guide!

OK, so she is more the “black leggings/D & G” type? This should make her very happy! Nothing would be more striking than this unbelievably luscious (the prettiest on all of Amazon, IMO) pearl and rhinestone L. Erickson comb curling around her beautiful, sleek bun. It’s even adjustable so she can customize it at her whim! Absolutely gorg.

How She Rolls
Susan Maxwell Schmidt is the internationally-collected jewelry artist behind LongLocks HairSticks. Her designs have appeared in Demetrios Bridal's "For the Bride" magazine and "Upscale Magazine." The LongLocks HairSticks Boutique was Lucky Magazine's top pick for Best Hair Web Site in their May 2009 issue.

Though a native New Yorker, Ms. Schmidt currently resides in the fashion non capitol of the world–East Nottingham, PA–where the Amish are the fashion trendsetters and John Deere green appears in the color forecast every season.

Ms. Schmidt enjoys driving fast, annoying her husband, sleeping late and disturbing the neighbors. She also fancies herself a fashionista, though this is likely nothing more than a rather sad delusion on her part. It’s best just to play along.
