    Default Post pics of your Quattro tools/toys.

    This thread is about Ron Quattro's hairtoys. I've always found threads were several people have posted pictures and comments about certain hairtoys/tools very helpful, threads like the Ficcare colour thread, and I hope others will find this thread useful.

    I only own metal Quattro hair tools and what I really like about these metal sticks and forks is that they're very slim. I have both fine and slippery hair and when I do a twisted bun, like a cinnamon bun, I need to twist quite tight, too loose and it will fall down immidiately. A thick wood stick just pushes these buns apart for me, a slim metal stick/fork works much better. I also like the fact that most of the sticks are really simple looking, the toppers are quite simple and still quite elegant.



    From the left: single Cobalt FlexStix (5"), single BodyGem SteelStick (5"), pair of StarLite Serpentines (5"), pair of StarLite Helix sterling silver topped sticks (6"), helix SteelSticks with faux ivory hearts (4.5"?), pair of SteelSticks with Antler BodyGems (4"), 5" StarLite fork, 4" StarLite fork.




    I think my all time favourites are these StarLite Serpentines.

    I am a huge Quattro fan. When I first joined LHC, I think I searched for and read every single thread with the word "Quattro" in it. Several times. There were quite a few threads to get through. This will be great to again have lots of photos all in one spot; I never get sick of his work, be it in either metal or wood.

    I do prefer metal hairsticks and forks, for similar reasons to aisling. I also damp bun a LOT, so I've shied away from using many wooden hair accessories. For that reason, I've never tried Ron's wooden hairforks/sticks, although they also look lovely.

    These photos are from last month. It took a lot of effort to find and gather all of these together, heh - usually they are scattered about, one in each location, be it a handbag/ camera bag/ car/ bathroom/ kitchen/ desk etc.

    Plain ones:

    (shortest u-pins on right are 3"; very left hand stick is over 6")


    Decorated ones:

    (nearly all the sticks are 6" usable; forks are a little shorter)


    And an older photo, but with good detail (clicky):

    Oh, yay! The Nekkid Guys are still hanging in there!! I don't think Ron was terribly thrilled with them, though I still think they look absolutely perfect on those sticks.

    Nice to see them again, knowing they are well cared for.... ;o)

    Does anyone have, or is anyone willing to take an in use picture of the helix fork It's the one with the curvy legs. I searched the old forum and this one but I can't find any of this fork in someones hair.

    I did then what I knew how to do. When I knew better, I did better. Maya Angelou

    By any chance, did you purchase those "Nekkid Guy" sticks from me? I had made some, never wore them, then sold them - have been trying to find more "Nekkid Guys" ever since!

    Not REAL naked guys!!!

    Oh, Oh, Oh!!! There are my "Nekkid Guys" on the Quattros! You know how many times I've kicked myself for selling these??? I can't find those little naked guys anywhere since....

    If you ever decide you're sick to death of them - let me know!!!

    WOW! These are all gorgeous!

    Rae, How do you like your wavy-tined fork (I think it might be called a helix or double helix)? Does it hold better than the straight ones? Thanks.
