anybody get hair toys for the holidays?

[PaganPriestess]

I got two new hair toys as presents! A beautiful Ficcarre style clip with red rhinestones and a set of combs with red rhinestones strung on elastic between the two (you know, the as seen on tv kind of magic combs). Here's some pics! Anybody else get any new hair accessories? I'd love to see pics of everyone's goodies!

Sorry for the pic size, I'm on my phone and can't resize.

[dulce]

Yes,I got several of those icy sparkly December Lilla rose special edition flexis.

[Kelikea]

I got a lacy scarf that is meant to be worn on the head. I like to wrap it like a headband and tie in a bow by my ear. The only problem is it is a light grayish color that totally washes me out and makes my hair look brassy/orangey.

[beautifulending]

I got a bun maker and some hair products I wanted!

[vanillabones]

I picked out the buy 4 get one free on the flexi site and ordered them in november to be given to me for xmas, so yes :) hair toys tomorrow morning!..

[Netabug]

Me! Me! I did! I got a 60th Street 3 prong fork 2 ketylo sticks and 3 flexis! No pics yet as haven't yet received them, just picked them out! I'm so excited. My hair has just gotten long enough to do a messy lazy wrap bun. I thought I might have to wait longer to actaully use them! So yay!

[Jean Stuart]

Beautiful!!! Enjoy them.

I have not opened my gifts yet, but 2 hairforks were delivered today that were gifts from myself.

[Valorie]

I did too. I guess people are catching on that my hair is a permanent fixture at least for a while. I received a four pronged hair fork which was ordered for me from Etsy (supplier unknown to me but craftsmanship of the wood seems well done) and 2 ketylo (sp) sticks. Cannot complain! :D

[ingvild]

Beautiful forks, Jean Stuart!

I didn't get any hair toy per se, but I got a resin comb - one part fine tooth and one part wide - that's supposed to imitate bone. It is amazing! No static and feels very good on my scalp :D

[Sissilonghair]

Yes, I did too.
Three beautiful barrettes from flexi 8 in three different sizes.I like them so much :)

[pepperminttea]

I got a pair of NightBlooming calla lily sticks that I'd ordered way back with my family, which I'd completely forgotten about. :D

[Libbylou]

I also got a couple of hair toys. Of course I had to bookmark them for DH.
I got a small fexi-8 and a silver leaf barrette from etsy. I usually wear my hair half up to keep the shorter layers out of my eyes.

[jacqueline101]

I got a few hair items I have opened. I will wait and see what else I get.

[bunzfan]

Yes but i got them all from me to me :D lets see 5 Ficcares, 1 hair fork, 1 tt stick.

[MasCat]

I snatched two (hair)sticks from my mother. She had them in the office and I kinda asked "what do you use those for?" while putting them in my hair. She took the hint :> :> :>

Does that count?

(Also I am still waiting form my LHC secret santa gift, which supposedly will have a hair connection :))

[Modarunner]

I received my first Ficcares from my DH. I got two of them!

[Loreley]

I didn't get any hair toys, but I got a BBB, 2 bottles of shampoo, 1 conditioner and a leave-in spray. :p

[RapunzelsMaiden]

I wish I got some for Christmas!!! I may go by the mall later and pick up some on sale at this stnad which has the most gorgeous hair accessories! ^.^

[uptosomeone]

Yes, I did! A shower cap, headbands, claw clips, and a bunch of barrettes. :D

[julliams]

I got the Vintage Hairstyling book by Lauren Rennells (but I had to buy it for myself - lol)

[suzye]

I didn't get any, but I may use some of the money I was gifted to start my collection! I love seeing all the ones people have posted on here.

[Nadiner]

Yeah I got Lee Stafford hair set (not really a toy but still good) and I got Bella's hair clip from Breaking Dawn. Fan freak, I know, but its so pretty D:

[Avalonna]

Yes! My wonderful husband gave me four new Ketylo sticks: green & black, black, aqua, and indigo. They are beautiful! I will put photos up on the Ketylo thread tomorrow.

[dwell_in_safety]

I ordered myself two flexi-8's and a hairstick from an Etsy seller whose sticks have been praised here for their quality. :)

[BlazingHeart]

I got a pair of sticks in the swap here and three side combs from my fiance's parents

[beckishness]

I got my very first Ficcare, a set of spin pins, a shower cap, and two very nice hair sticks from etsy. I am so happy with them all!

[morrigan*]

I get LadyIdun from mom but it hasn't ariverd yet :D
Can't wait.

[Callque]

I didn't get a hair toy, but I did receive the Shea Moisture Curl & Shine Kit! :D

It was my first ever hair-related gift. :D

[daniew0708]

My wonderful boys gave me some jeweled smaller hair combs and pins. They also gave me the as seen on TV hair combs with the jewels on stretchy sting between them. Honestly it made me nervous, i was worried that my hair would get caught on the jewels. But like all good mothers i put it in my hair anyways, for their sake, and was suprised after wearing it all day that when i removed it no hair was caught or pulled out. Great Job Boys!!

[Theobroma]

I get LadyIdun from mom but it hasn't ariverd yet :D
Can't wait.

Oh, you're going to love it! LadyIduns are awesome.

I received a parcel from GTS on Christmas Eve. It was something I'd ordered myself -- an antler/ebony fork and a wishbone -- but I'm counting it because I wasn't expecting it to arrive before Christmas, and I certainly wasn't expecting to get a mail delivery on Saturday.

[kaiakai]

I got to unwrap my infamous Ficcare (http://forums.longhaircommunity.com/showthread.php?t=84346) for Christmas!

And, (since it is more blessed to give than recieve)... my two long haired BFFs got hair toys from me for Christmas.

I've also turned my mom on to my new hair toy obsession and put in a word that she would keep her eye out for something pretty when she goes to Tenerife next week. I don't know how likely it is that she'll find any hair toys there, but I figured it's worth a shot. (And my birthday is coming up in February...)

[irishlady]

I got some little pins with owls on them. I like :D

[patienceneeded]

DH made me 4 hairsticks. He took bamboo chopsticks and cut them down, sanded, rounded the tips and then put a finisher on them. He then topped them with "antiqued brass", one is a butterfly, one is a dragonfly, and two are flowers. He made them all similar so I could mix and match them. He even antiqued the brass toppers himself by using ammonia, steel wool, and them applying a fixative over the top to cure the brass so it wouldn't tarnish further. They look so nice! I'll try to get a pic later! I also got (from MIL) an Octopus hairstick from Emergent Glassworks on etsy. Love it!

[morrigan*]

Oh, you're going to love it! LadyIduns are awesome.
I can't wait. I get it in green :D

[bluesnowflake]

ooh, yes (: I got a pretty white feather clip thingy and a blue silk flower (:

[Xawanlaya]

No toys but I did receive a comb made out of tree :)

[lunalocks]

Salon quality scissors, for S and D's only, and a bunch of spin pins in my stocking!

[young&reckless]

My bf gave me two faccaries and a fork and barret from spellstone. I'm so excited, I can't wait to wear them all.

[Dark Queen]

Compact Tangle Teezer! Woo! :cheese:

[ladylowtide]

My boyfriend ordered me a horn comb (with mother of pearl designs on it) and two wee hair forks made of horn from quecraft on etsy.

[leslissocool]

My mother got me some! I was like "wow!"

[Curly Hermione]

Olive wood pin thingy, some bobby pins with flowers on them, a metal grip with some pink sparkles on it, and a pair of ring pony-tail holder things. Oh, and some Tigi eco freak hair texturiser. Pretty good I thought! I also got an all natural bar of soap, which I'm thinking could double as my first ever shampoo bar.

[catnip]

I didn't get hair toy, but hair care set, organic and all :)

[Shesta]

No hair toys for me this Christmas :(

[Yozhik]

I got some wonderful hairtoys, both from gift exchanges and from my wonderful DBF. :crush:

I got a wonderful metal barrette and metal bow bobby pins from one gift exchange, and an awesome mairzydozy copper hair fork with a leaf on it and a headband and mini bow cloth barrettes from another exchange. :)

My DBF got me the most beautiful and delicate white kimono silk kanzashi flower clips for my hair. :crush:

All in all, I'd say this year I got a great haul. :)

[BeautifulSoup]

I got a basic hair comb that I'm going to experiment with in preparation for buying prettier ones.

[cheetahfast]

I bought myself a ficcare!

Lucky!!! The thought and effort


I opened some apricot oil, avocado oil and lavender eo. also one of those scuncci sets with 2 small claw clips, decorative bobby pins, elastics, and a head band that looks like a small scarf woven through a chain. conair spin pins and a wood comb from the body shop.
Also one of those really big jewel boxes for all my hair things.

[Eirelin]

Here are mine (my Christmas present to myself):

[PaganPriestess]

Eirelin, I'm jealous! Beautiful!

[Neorah]

Yep! My hubby got me a hair fork I've been coveting for ages now-- the Lotus fork by Artemis Woods [formerly known as Etta Mae on Etsy], in gabon ebony with mother-of-pearl inlay. I love it! :D

http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk129/joliefolle/Hair/IMAG0098-1.jpg

And a quickie action shot... Apologies for the ugly bun, I was already in my sleep braid and didn't feel like taking out out. :o

[LittleOrca]

My fiancée got me a pair of hair sticks from a local maker (Pacific Mercantile on Etsy) that I have been looking at for a while. They are called "Confetti" and are rainbow bits in one stick. :) I love them. Here is a picture of them:

http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff176/Little_Orca/IMG_3186.jpg

[Ecliafr]

Eirelin could you tell us, where did you get these beautiful hairtoys??

[Roscata]

I got a Ficcare Maximas, Classic, black. I've been wanting one for a year so I'm extra happy to get it. :D I also got a mannequin head with a long 3 foot length wig to practice braiding.

[HumanBean]

I got bobby pins that look like little twigs from Woodland Belle on Etsy, and an octopus hair clip (literally,it's an octopus), from Steampunk Couture, also on Etsy, and two crocheted hats, which I am counting because I needed bigger ones to cover hairdos!

I bought myself: a wooden wide tooth comb (the Body Shoppe), some bobby pins with jewels/beads on the tip (Anthropologie).

I want to know where Eirelin got those items also!

[kaiakai]

Oooh! I got another hair toy! This pretty hair clip from my BFF:

Ohhhh, that is gorgeous!!!

[Zesty]

Nope! :( The closest thing I got was a hat from my grandmother, which is warm and comfortable but will require a braid or braids in order for me to wear it. I think my DBF is too intimidated to get me a hair toy. But he got me books, which I love, so I can't complain.

[Lostsoule77]

I did! It's funny because I told DH that I wanted a bohn comb and/or some nice hair sticks. I also told him to not worry about getting them because he couldn't. He can't use the internet and has no cc. Plus nowhere around here really sells these kinds of things.

Well he decided he'd try anyway. He went to some hair place (his words, I'm thinking it was Harmon's) and all they had was "cheap plastic crap!" That is the only kind of hair sticks I ever owned before LHC, but that wasn't good enough to him. He went to this fossil shop we like and low and behold they had one, only they couldn't sell it. It has recently become illegal to export bone sticks from the country they got them from. They got them before it was illegal, but still couldn't sell it. Well DH helped them open a trailer that they'd broken the tool they needed to open it. They gave him a few free things and sold him the stick! It's from an antler of some deer type animal from Africa (he can't recall the name of the animal.) It's not the prettiest thing, but it is nice and the best stick I own. :D

Action shot - my first succesful cinnamon bun too! None of my other sticks would hold it, they always turned it into a beebutt bun. With pins it just pulled. :shrug:

[akilina]

i bought myself my first set of hair sticks :) they arent very extravagant or super exciting but they are pretty enough and they are interesting without being too much. i have a hard time finding any hair toys for some reason!! i guess i could order them online. ive seen a few stands in the malls that actually have very pretty hair toys

[eshta]

I used some holiday gift money today to buy a rust ficcare I've been lusting over for months. I have 3 already and couldn't really justify it before, but since it's gift money ... :D

No. However, I got a nook. (My birthday's in 7 months, can ask then or on one of Flexi-8's free shipping events.

There was a lady on eBay selling 3 lots. I REALLY wish I had gone for the other 2, as well! I have saved her as a favorite seller, just in case she ever gets some more.

[Kyla]

No, I didn't get any...however, I bought myself a Peachwood comb at Daiso in Seattle (for only $1.50!) and plan to buy myself a marzydozy fork with my Holiday money. :)
