hair sticks

Updo securing pins

Hair sticks are pointed implements used to hold hair in place, typically inserted through a bun or twist to secure it.

They range from simple functional pins to ornate decorative pieces in wood, metal, or bone.

Unlike bobby pins that grip hair, hair sticks work by piercing through gathered hair and pinning it against the scalp: She twisted her hair up and secured it with lacquered hair sticks.
