The Uses of Chopsticks as Applied to Hair

To put your hair up with chopsticks: (works best with hair shoulder length and longer)
 
1. Grab your hair with your left and and the bottom of your chopsticks with your right hand *
2. Put your chopsticks between your right wrist and your head.
3. Twist the chopsticks under and around your hair, so you are basically wrapping your hair around the chopsticks. Do this as many times as you need to. Once or twice should be plenty with most hair.
4. As the chopsticks come under your hair, turn them so they point straight up and put the points right above where you want your little bun to be. Push the ends of the chopsticks up, but keep the tips where they are. This might pull at your hair a little.
5. Push the chopsticks down and a little to the right through your hair. The tips should touch your scalp all the way down.


Ta Da! Done. This is an extremely easy and elegant way to do long hair. This is my fall-back "bad hair day" hairstyle, as well as being my normal "I don't want hair in my face and I'm not going to be doing flips today" hairstyle. :) To take them out, just pull. Easy as can be.
 
 

* Assuming you're right handed. If you're left handed, just reverse it.
