Thread: Wearing 2 sticks (matching or not matching) do you X them, or V them?

  1. #1

    Default Wearing 2 sticks (matching or not matching) do you X them, or V them?

    I used to wear stick pairs and mismatched sticks as an X through my hair, always. (With the ornamentation being the top tips of my X, directly at 11 & 1 o'clock)

    And then I wore just one stick for so long that when I went to put two in, whether they matched or not, that I thought the X was silly and started putting them in kind of a V to one side, usually the left. (With the ornamentation being the top tips of the V, and the V being past 12 o'clock either to the right or the left)

    (I know they are both kind of X's ,but you know what I mean!)

    What do you do?

    I've been known to put mine parallel (ie, like = or like ||)

    It's pretty much always a V for me, or parallel. My hair is very fine and slick so I need the extra hold. Plus I just can't get the X to lay right without pulling my hair too hard. How do you Xers do it?

    I rarely wear two sticks. But, I do if I do a figure 8. And when I do a figure 8, I make an X. It just makes sense to me to do it that way.

    Jeez, I'd have to check at least two of those options. It depends on the stick(s). Sometimes it's an X, sometimes it's a V, and sometimes I only use one stick.

    But personally I think the best way to use hairsticks is to spear cheese on them.

    I usually only wear one, but I agree with Wavelength that the best way to wear them is with cheeese!

    I always X 'em if I do two. I can't get any other method of two sticks to hold! I'll also fairly often just use one stick.

    V or slightly parallel. Even when I do it parallel, they kinda migrate into a V shape anyways.
