So, I mentioned in my
trend prediction for 2014 that I had hoped that hair accessories would make a comeback, so here's the first post, which resurrects the forgotten hair stick. I got to using hair sticks at work, when I didn't have a rubber band, so I just stuck a pencil in my hair. I was surprised at how well it stayed and then was on the hunt for hair sticks.
It's hard to say why the hair stick fell out of favor--maybe it kept slipping out of people's hair, or no one could figure out how to use it. There's a number of youtube videos on the matter, but I just kind of swirl my hair until it stays. It actually stays well all day.
Also, the neat thing about hair sticks is that you can make them tight (as in like a tight ponytail) or loose. I like to wear them loose since I get headaches otherwise.

Also, hair sticks are the easiest things in the world to "diy." Here's a pair I made from African porcupine quills. They are the perfect hair sticks: light, strong, a teeny bit flexible, cool-looking. And I can stab people with it, the way all the damsels in distress fend off their attackers. I need a sword-shaped one.
Though I also just bought the following, which I have yet to wear:
opinions on hair sticks? Would you wear them? Do you wear them?
