Thank you :) These are my first self made sticks, I bought the actual sticks really cheaply on Ebay, £6 for a pack of 6 chopsticks inc. delivery :) I had to cut them down & sand them a bit. Now to see what I can do with the rest!

Thanks everyone, yes I love the coco wood, it's grain is really pretty. I did find it a bit splintery when I was sharpening them but it sands really easily, when it was smooth I rubbed a little coconut oil into them, that really brought out the grain :)

I had the same problem when I was new. One thing that helps - don't comb your hair all perfect and smooth before you bun it. Buns thrive on texture. I've seen hair-stylist videos where they blow-dry and even flat-iron all nice and smooth, then tease (back-comb) the hair to create some texture. Duh! Just don't get it all smooth and perfect in the first place.
Keep trying with the sticks; you'll get it.
P.S. - love the sticks! Where can I get some? I wouldn't want the toppers; I break that stuff right off.

Thanks everyone :) Spidermom, I got the coco wood chopsticks from Ebay, dead cheap, but I am in the UK, you could try looking for some on the US Ebay :)

Those are lovely hairsticks. It's really impressive that you made them yourself. They look completely professional to me.
