  Have only been using a bun for a relatively short time (a few months), and have never attempted a stick bun. Was getting dressed and had my hair loose, and wanted to get it out of the way while getting my pants and belt on (now there's a phrase you NEVER hear from short haired guys, LOL).

  I had a small stick handy, and figured I'd try out a stick bun. I've seen women wrap their hair up using one a zillion times. So I simply wound my hair around a few times into a basic bun, stuck the stick through and whattaya know?? The whole thing stayed together!

  It may not be terribly pretty, but it works.

    Hi Frodo,

    I discovered the virtues of using hair sticks a couple years ago and now prefer that over a standard fare ponytail.Normally I would either tail my hair or stuff it under a baseball cap,for work usually, but now the sticks rule!I just do a lazy bun and use two sticks to hold it and if done correctly will hold all day without loosening.Below is my example.Cheers

    My singing teacher, Nathalie, has some of the loveliest hair I have seen on a woman (early 40's), curly at the ends and straight further up, thick and luxurious.

    As you say, many women are too fussy about how they look after their hair. I have often seen Nathalie do a stick bun in just a few seconds flat. She winds up the whole tail and twists it into position and shoves a pencil in from top to bottom. It seems to hold for quite a long time before she lets it down again or redoes the bun.

    She will probably give me some tips as my hair gets longer and I get beyond the ponytail or wearing it loose. Of course, at present, I'm not really ready for either. For showering when I'm not washing my hair, I do a ponytail with what I can get into it, twist the hairband and thread the tail half-way through to make a samurai bun fairly high up. I also do a tail for sailing and cycling, and never mind about the few side and front bang hairs still flailing around.

    I will certainly be interested in doing a bun as an alternative to the tail for certain circumstances. Thanks for the tips.
