I got some chopsticks a few weeks ago, while I was the local Asian Festival (mmm, I also had my first chai! It was so delicious). My husband looked at me a little funny when I told him I wanted to use them for my hair, but let it slide. We spent forever looking at them, so that I could get two that were pretty even (they were handmade out of wood). These really work. I haven’t been out jogging or anything, but they are great for keeping my hair up while I’m at home. Especially since my sweet little puppy ate my hair clip, and I haven’t gotten a new one yet. I’ve tried hairsticks before-mostly plastic ones, my favorite of which are blue swirly hairsticks with butterflies on top. The other hair sticks never stayed in or help up my hair, so I am really suprised that the chopsticks are working all by themselves…I just twist my hair up, weave the chopsticks in and go. Sometimes I’ve had to put it up after a few hours, but it’s not bad. I’m still drooling over these though Longlocks Hairstick Boutique. Maybe one day I’ll find some I love that aren’t sold already! They go fast.
