We were lounging around watching movies when I heard this big snap! and my hair fell all around my shoulders. The stick broke clean in half!

Now that's a head of hair!

Congrats, CurlyCap!
My hair isn't even that long, and I don't consider it very heavy, but I guess the stick disagreed!

Curly hair holds tension like a beast. My guess is that you had an incredible amount of tension across that stick and didn't even notice it because it didn't fall out and it didn't require tension on your scalp.

The joys of curly hair and hair toys. It is AWESOME.

Lots of people rave about Pacific Mercantile's acrylic sticks for strength (Etsy). Don't think they're too expensive, either.

Yeah, the PM sticks are awesome, very sturdy and completely waterproof.

OMG I GOT A FORK BUN TO HOLD!!!

It's very messy, and the pic sucks, but it held!!

The fork blends into my hair pretty well.. I should get a different color so it stands out. Got it from this Etsy store - http://www.etsy.com/shop/EnchantedIn...ef=seller_info. Not sure to link to the specific fork tho..
