The Craft: Hand-carved Xiuyu Jade
A magnolia dangle is hand-carved from natural Xiuyan jade and suspended from a light blue-green cord. The cord passes through a hole in the jade stick and is topped with a silver cap engraved with geometric patterns. Two curved lines are carved into the jade near the top, resembling a crescent moon and a leaf.
The magnolia motif is associated with giving back in Chinese culture. The pendant sways with movement, echoing scattered flower petals.
The Xiuyu Jade
Xiuyu jade is quarried in Xiuyan County, Liaoning Province. It has a translucent, waxy luster and ranges from white to pale green. This piece is a uniform translucent white with a smooth polish.
Natural jade contains slight color variation and occasional tiny inclusions. These are not flaws but marks of a genuine stone.
Fit & Care
Works well for all hair volumes, including very thick hair. The 185mm rigid shaft provides ample hold for buns and twists. Not recommended for hair shorter than shoulder length. For shorter hair, see our short hair sticks.
Care: Wipe with a soft dry cloth. Avoid soaking in water, harsh chemicals, and prolonged sun exposure. Store separately to prevent scratches.
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. For step-by-step video guides, visit our YouTube channel @thehairsticks.
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.
