Ok thanks, that's reassuring to hear from someone with such long and nice hair!

Thank you

Ok, thank you for that information.

Does anyone know of any UK / Europe suppliers making simple non-fancy acrylic hair sticks? I’ve wooden ones, but I’d like a resin or acrylic stick for when I do a pre-wash oiling and bun it up. When I’ve searched they’re all super fancy with glitter and flowers etc - I really don’t need that. Thanks in advance

I'm thinking about saving my shed hairs in a bundle to donate once I have enough of them. Has anyone done this before? I can't figure out how to start a bundle when I have just a few strands.

DragomiraHaarschmuck does acrylic sticks (Germany) https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/DragomiraHaarschmuck

I think most acrylics are fancy to a degree by default though, the only plain ones tend to be clear - other than being waterproof, a huge reason for their popularity is the wide range of colours and colour combinations and patterns.

Though using wooden sticks when your hair is oiled should be good for the sticks but having waterproof sticks is incredibly useful.

(There's also eBay for very cheap, simple, hard plastic sticks, but they come with the usual risk of not being completely smooth and not knowing how sturdy they are.)

I second Dragomira. She does custom orders when you contact her via etsy or email. She offers differently shaped sticks in a color called "crystal clear". They appear glass like and look pretty no nonsense.Or you could ask her whether she has any other plain colors.

Thanks for those links, perfect. I do oil my wooden hair sticks with mineral oil, it was more if the oil wearing it in a bun made them a bit patchy that I was concerned about

They sound just what I’m after, thank you

I know you already got some answers, but if it helps in future – I collect European hairtoy makers here! (Not all of them specialize in just one material so I don't list it for all of them.)

Oh thank you Ynne I’d forgotten about that thread.

Feral_ there’s also Long Haired Jewels. They sell imported hairsticks. I don’t think they have much in the way of new stock but I bought an acrylic Ketylo to use with wet or oiled hair. They also sell Dymondwood, which apparently can be used on damp hair (and I have one of those too, but have only used it on dry hair).
