How to Wear a Hair Stick for Long Hair?

Hair sticks are a stylish and practical way to secure long hair without the need for hair ties or clips. Whether you’re going for an elegant updo or a casual everyday look, hair sticks provide a secure and comfortable hold while adding a touch of sophistication. Here’s how to wear a hair stick for long hair.

 

Why Choose a Hair Stick?

• Gentle on Hair: Unlike elastic bands, hair sticks don’t cause breakage or leave creases.
• Elegant & Versatile: Perfect for formal events, office wear, or casual days.
• Eco-Friendly Choice: Made from natural materials like wood, hair sticks are a sustainable alternative to plastic hair accessories.

Step-by-Step Guide to Using a Hair Stick

 

1. The Full Up Twist

A chic and professional look that’s easy to achieve.

1. Gather your hair into a high or low ponytail and hold it with your left hand.
2. Place the hair stick on top of the ponytail and wrap the ponytail around the hair stick, continuing until you reach the ends.
3. Slide the hair stick through horizontally to the left close to the scalp.
4. Get the right part of your hair from the ponytail and push that to the left.
5. Push the stick through that part of hair, weaving it in and out to secure the style.

2. The Classic Bun

A timeless and secure updo that’s perfect for everyday wear.

1. Gather your hair into a high or low ponytail.
2. Twist the ponytail tightly and wrap it around itself to form a bun.
3. Hold the bun in place with one hand and insert the hair stick vertically into the bun, then angle it horizontally close to the scalp and push it through.
4. Push the stick through the bun, weaving it in and out to secure the style.

3. The Half-Up Twist

A relaxed, boho-inspired style perfect for keeping hair out of your face.

1. Take a small section of hair from the top of your head into a ponytail.
2.  Hold the ponytail with your right hand, place two fingers of your left hand under the ponytail, hook the ponytail, and twist it to the left until it reaches the top.
3. Wrap the end of the ponytail around with your left hand.
4. Insert the hair stick vertically along those two fingers, then angle it horizontally close to the scalp and push it through.
