The minimalist modern style hair toy thread

[Elodea]

Niiiice OTHM, I never knew this shop!
I was looking for simple but sturdy sticks to use with braided flexis.
Does OTHM ship to Europe?
Anyone have a picture of the twisted stick in action? Or the flat one with bling on the end?

EDIT: Oh no, his Etsy says: Sorry, this item doesn’t ship to The Netherlands.

I have the flat one but without the decoration on the end (there's a little hole where you could add a dangly of your choice though, if you wanted): this is a larger version of my profile pic
I think I've sort of outgrown this stick by now; the bumps of the squiggly shape aren't playing too nicely with my current hair length and so the stick gradually slips out when I wear it. But in the past it held really well.

Thanks Suortuva! *bookmarked*

Looks great Elodea!

That's pretty cool, though still doesn't post to the UK either.

Awwww sorry!

I have quite a few minimalist hairtoys, and buy from most of the shops mentioned already. For more inspiration and other artisans, I've got action shots in my albums on here with the shops noted (just ask if you need clarification on any abbreviations). Links to albums: page 2, and more recently page 1.

Jim will probably ship to you (or anywhere else in the world) if you enquire about it. When I enquired about shipping to Australia after trying a fork via the swap board, I had a fantastic experience with a bonus fork thrown in as a surprise gift!

Here's a twisted stick in action a few years (and mucho lengtho ago). I no longer have it though, thanks to my daughter snagging it, but found it was a little weighty for me anyway.

Yes, the OTHM metal sticks can be a little on the heavier side and might be too much/heavy to stay in smaller amounts of hair. I didn't have problems with the weight of my squiggly stick, but wooden sticks are definitely much lighter.

The conical one seemed rather solid, and I found it heavier than the two and three prong metal forks from Jim. It did want to drag a bit, but I reckon it would be more problematic now with the weight of my hair in updos being enough of a headache without the extra heft. The weight kinda reminded me of these Acrylic Candy Shop twisted aluminium sticks that I also find tricky to wear (has to be a good scalp day):

ONN has some really great sticks and forks! He also does customs

Ive also found thst lillarose leathers are very minimal yet elegant

I only have the squiggly stick so I don't know how the other OTHM forks/sticks compare. Interestingly enough, I have this metal nail (it's from a hardware store) that I've often used as a stick and it's definitely very heavy. I should weigh it some time on a food scale... This isn't a particularly good photo of it or my hair in general, but it does show how it looks. I don't think the weight has really been a problem for me since my hair is decently heavy itself, but not everyone wants a super heavy hair toy. I have a wood stick (about 3/8 of an inch in diameter?) with a resin topper that feels as light as air in comparison to this nail.
