Mei Fa / Shaune Bazner hair stix

[embee]

I do not see an "official" Mei Fa thread, so will make one.

The stix are sold online at

http://shaunebazner.com/

and come in two lengths - normal and short.

The first longhair toys I ever bought were Mei Fa stix from a shop in South Carolina. That was about 20 years ago, and my hair was very very short... but I had plans. They are normal length (5 7/8 ") and have clear brown bead tops with black wood stix. None of the current selections look like them.

Those stix are my go-to toys, and last month I bought a couple more:
one of these:

and these, which come as a pair:

These stix are great for thin/fine hair, they're slim and rather delicate looking but stronger than they look.

Does anyone else use these stix?

I love mine. I got my first Mei Fa's maybe 14 years ago when I first got on the long hair boards. There were at least 2 LHC GOs back when GOs were allowed here. I don't remember exactly how many pairs I ordered back then but I think it was 25-30 pairs. I also got 8 of the short stick sets when Hair Boutique had a big moving sale not too long ago. The short sticks are marvelous for sweater sticks. So yeah I'm a huge fan. When my other hair toys stop working for a while for whatever reasons, my Mei Fa sticks always work. They hold like a rock and never slip out of my hair. They are like hair jewelry. Nordstoms used to carry them but I haven't seen any in the past few years.

GOs? Oh man, that *was* a while ago! I got a microfiber (dog!) hair towel.... DrBlue ran the GO for that? I still have it, still use it.

My original Mei Fa stix, one of the beads came loose - I probably pulled on it or got a hair twisted in it or something. I took it to my jeweler and for practically no money he glued it back in place and it's been fine ever since. I like something that can be repaired.

I've seen some hairssticks that sort of look like Mei Fa around here, but when I pick them up they're all wrong, I can feel the difference. They're rough.

So glad to have found this thread! I learned about Mei Fa hairsticks from Lady Grace on LHC who has hair down to the floor! She loves them and has quite a beautiful collection.
Anyways, I am interested in these simple, elegant hairsticks. So glad others like them too! I might just have to purchase some!!
