I use Quattro forks, and they look about the same material (is it aluminum, or metal?).
Looks fine to me! Pretty.
So a few days ago my toddler bit off the hairstick I had been using for the past 4 year. I was devastated and tried to compensate for my loss by getting a fancy silver and stone hairstick. It'd look like this when it's done, just with different choice of stone. Is it a good choice for hair? I never used metal hairstick before so I have no idea how it'd feel like on my hair. I hope it wouldn't be an impulsive buy

I don't know why it wouldn't be good. I actually like metal hairsticks (I use double-pointed knitting needles) because they can be thinner while still being strong-- they dig into my head less than thicker hairsticks do.
Putting it in my signature because I have to say it so often:
Do what works for your hair, not what other people say is "right" or "wrong." If it works for you, it's not wrong. If it doesn't work for you, it's not right.
My go-to hair stick right now is S-shaped, like the one in your photo, and it holds really well. It's a slippery, metallic material as well.

If your hair is slippery... I would get a pair. Yep, you'd need at least 2. Quattro (he's on Etsy, I can give you the link if you want) does basics, basic forks (without decorations), and they have "microgrooves", things that sort of "catch" on your hair, so it won't slip out as easily. I love them. It's the only thing I wear, but then I don't have slippy hair.
Even hairsticks that work well, me? I still need that 2nd one. Maybe it's because of the layering in my hair, not sure.
I think you're right. I would hold off on the intricate decorated ones until you tried the basics out first, and they're super comfy for showers (aluminum does not rust), for things like that. And a basic is perfect for that!
