"Candle Dragon" Hair Stick
"Candle Dragon" Hair Stick
Design: The "Candle Dragon" is a mythical mountain deity in ancient Chinese legends, depicted as a footless dragon with a human face, snake body, and red all over, with vertically elongated eyes. The hair stick design is inspired by the dragon's main image as a giant snake, taking the shape of a snake's tooth. The design is narrow and long, decorated with irregular spiral patterns and S999 silver studs, giving it a simple and rustic look.
Materials:
1. Blackwood, one of the national standard rosewoods, is sourced from Africa.
2. S999 silver.
3. Moose antlers that are hand-carved and tea-dyed for an antique look.
Length: Approximately 20cm long, with a possible 5mm margin of error.
Please Note: Each hair stick has different color depths and patterns and is crafted randomly. As they are hand-carved, there may be slight differences in the details and traces of the carving process.
Q: I've never used a hair stick before — is it difficult to learn?
Not at all. Most people get a secure hold within 2–3 tries. The basic technique: gather your hair into a loose bun, twist it once, then insert the stick diagonally through the base, angling it so it crosses underneath the bun and anchors against the scalp.

Q: How do I keep it from sliding out?
Two things make the biggest difference. First, slightly dry or day-2 hair grips far better than freshly washed hair. Second, insert the stick at a diagonal angle through the base of the bun rather than straight through.
Q: Will a hair stick damage my hair?
Hair sticks are one of the gentlest hair accessories available. Unlike elastics, they create no tension or pulling on the hair shaft. Long-term hair stick users often find it reduces breakage compared to everyday clip or elastic use.
