Answer 1

STEP 1: Use hair sticks in place of combs, pins and clips. They work best on styles in which hair is twisted, gathered or rolled. Make your style as tight as possible before inserting a stick - it will loosen up gradually. STEP 2: Envision the ideal placement of the sticks. Think of where to position decorative tips, for example. A second stick may be added to further secure the style, or simply for decoration. STEP 3: Grip the stick at its widest portion. Avoid using the decorative top section as a lever; it might break off. STEP 4: Insert the stick so that the tip and end are at the opposite angle of their final position. Instead of spearing a bun or twist, graze the roll or coil so that it collects about a 1-inch section of hair. Push the stick until the tip protrudes at least a fingertip in length. STEP 5: Lift the stick like a lever and rotate it 180 degrees from the insertion point. Hook a small amount of the hair that's pulled flat against the head while pushing the stick through the style. When securing a bun, make sure to push the tip through the coil at the opposite end. STEP 6: Practice and be patient. Hair sticks can be a difficult accessory to get used to. Rely on your sense of touch to guide their position and firmness of hold. Tips & Warnings
If dry hair doesn't cooperate, work with towel dry hair instead for easier control.
Experiment with additional positions. It may be necessary to collect more hair on the initial insertion for a tighter hold.
Hair sticks come in a wide variety of colors and decorations. Select adornments that complement your wardrobe and jewelry.
Take care not to poke or gouge yourself with hair sticks.
Avoid forcing a stick through, as you may break it or pull hair unnecessarily

Answer 2

Yep, you'll need two chopsticks for each bun you make so it'll hold it. If you put it up in the back though you don't have to always put it in a bun, you can pile hair in a fun funky way and secure it with the chopsticks also, but you'll need a few bobbypins also to make sure you don't get too many stray hairs falling out everywhere.

Answer 3

Fast, reliable way to use hair sticks - Put your hair in a secure bun. Take the first hair stick and, upside down, weave it twice (shallow weaves) through the surface of the right side of the bun. Don't do anything with that, but hold the bun in place and grab the next one and once again, upside down, weave it shallow into the left side. Use the thick ends of the sticks to flip the whole thing upside down and cross them when you get them into their final position. It works really well and is more reliable than most other methods.

i do one bun. twist it tight and clip together using grips. then feed (!ha!) them through the hair.\
