These are
sometimes
called hair
sticks or bun
pics. There
are generally
two ways to
use these. You
can wrap the
hair in a bun
or a French
twist and then
use the pics to
secure the
hair. Either
way, the hair
needs to be
twisted
together
securely first,
with the tail
tucked up into
the center of
the bun from
beneath. Then
the pic is
inserted
straight in first.
When you get
to the head,
then you lay
the pic down
parallel to the
head and work
it through the
bun, making
sure it comes
out through
the bun to lock
the hair in
place.
