In the finished stick, that idea reads as a smooth shaft that opens into a wider, undulating form before narrowing to a fine point. We like it in a low bun or loose twist, where the curve can sit above the hairline and catch the light. A qipao (旗袍) with a clean neckline also lets the warm wood tone stand out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWood Color and Grain\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWeiao huangtan is a dense rosewood with wide natural variation. Pieces range from medium to deep brown, and the grain can run straight, ripple, or shift in tone across a single stick. Each hair stick is carved from a randomly selected piece of wood, so the exact color depth and grain pattern cannot be specified. The photos show the range of variation rather than the exact piece you will receive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWipe with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid prolonged soaking, harsh chemicals, and leaving the stick in direct sun or damp conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Hair Sticks","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50334611505409,"sku":"5950041961543","price":109.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0623\/0232\/2945\/files\/5950041961543-hand-carved-weiao-huangtan-wood-curved-hair-stick-main-01.jpg?v=1789543501","url":"https:\/\/thehairsticks.com\/products\/hand-carved-wood-curved-hair-stick","provider":"The Hair Sticks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
