What Is a Chinese Hair Stick?
A hair stick is a long, thin pin used to hold a bun or similar hairstyle in place, usually between five and nine inches long, as Wikipedia's article on the hair stick explains. In Chinese it is called a fazan or zanzi. A Chinese hair stick like this one adds decoration at the top, so the bun becomes part of the look.
How to Use a Hair Stick in a Bun
Gather your hair into a ponytail and twist it until it coils into a bun. Hold the bun with one hand. Push the hair stick into the top edge of the bun, pointing down, then turn it so it lies flat against your head and push it through the other side, catching hair from the base of the bun. The flowers and charms should sit on the outside.
It works best on medium to long hair. On very thick hair, add a small elastic underneath for extra hold.
Gold-Tone or Silver-Tone
Gold-tone looks warm against dark brown and black hair and pairs with gold jewellery. Silver-tone looks fresh against black, grey and blonde hair and suits silver jewellery. For a special occasion, combine it with the silver pearl bridal tiara look, or add the red heart necklace. See more hair accessories and the jewellery and accessories collection.
Care Tips
Take the hair stick out before sleeping, showering or swimming. Wipe it with a soft, dry cloth and store it flat in a pouch, so the charms do not tangle or bend.
