Hair Sticks

[ItalianFlower]

Okay so my mom ordered me some hair sticks from Long Locks Hair Boutique a week before Christmas and they JUST arrived at her house... she didn't realize they were handcrafted... anyways, my point it that I'm super excited to get them and I want to use them LOTS. I have not as fancy sticks that I've been using for a while, but I have never gotten too creative with my styles...

So tell me, what are your favorite hair stick styles? If you can, provide pictures or links to how-tos so I can do them when my sticks get here. :D

Two great go-to stick styles for me are the braided Chinese bun (http://forums.longhaircommunity.com/vbjournal.php?do=article&articleid=15) (regular one doesn't work well for me) and the Nautilus Bun (http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=466690622319220011#). The Nautilus holds like a rock when I do it.

I've got LongLocks sticks too! http://www.longlocks.com/purplebliss-decoupage-hair-sticks.htm
I love them.

As far as styles, I love Hypnotica's Equilibrium Bun: http://www.youtube.com/user/4ypn0tica#p/u/13/9eKpcYRIr4o

Also, the Flipped Bun: http://www.youtube.com/user/4ypn0tica#p/u/12/Up3ftEV45_c
