How to Use Copper Hair Sticks

Copper hair sticks are perfect for buns, twists, and half-up styles. They’re lightweight, gentle on the hair, and look effortlessly polished once you learn a few basic techniques.

1. Simple Twist Bun (Beginner Friendly)

  1. Gather your hair into a low or mid ponytail (no elastic needed).
  2. Twist the hair into a rope and wrap it around itself to form a bun.
  3. Hold the bun in place with one hand.
  4. Take your hair stick and place the tip just outside the bun.
  5. Gently weave the stick through the bun and into the hair close to your scalp.
  6. Angle the stick slightly upward and guide it out through the opposite side of the bun.

This method creates a secure, comfortable hold that stays in place all day.

2. Half-Up Twist

  1. Gather the top half of your hair as if creating a half-up ponytail.
  2. Twist the section loosely into a coil or mini bun.
  3. Insert the hair stick from the outer edge, weaving it through the twisted section and the hair underneath.
  4. Angle gently upward and secure.

This style works beautifully for fine hair or when you simply want your hair out of your face.

3. Tips for Fine vs. Thick Hair

  • Fine or silky hair: Use a slightly lighter gauge copper stick and twist a bit tighter for better grip.
  • Medium to thick hair: Use the standard gauge and take a fuller section—looser twists will still hold securely.
