Hair Sticks

---

A hair stick (also hairstick) is a device, long and thin, usually between five and nine inches (13 cm to 23 cm) long, used to hold a person's hair bun or similar hairstyle in place. It may be straight or tapered; it is often pointed to ease insertion. Like hairpins, hair sticks may be anywhere from quite plain and simple to elaborate and decorative; some feature jeweled or carved designs that make them stand out as pieces of jewelry. The price of hair sticks varies greatly depending on the style, materials, and craftsmanship: the cheapest pairs of plastic hair sticks can cost less than a dollar, while a single, hand-crafted hair stick by an artist can cost over two hundred dollars. Other everyday objects, such as pens, pencils, and chopsticks, are often used as impromptu hair sticks.
