I suppose this isn't a "sewing" related post, but I wanted to share one of my favorite hair toys.
For me the fastest and easiest way to put up my hair when working or sewing is with one of my hair-sticks.
This one is from Nightblooming on etsy, she makes lovely items! I highly reccomend her shop and great customer service.
The reason I like hairsticks so much is I can put all my hair up quick without a single pin!
You can get your own sword hair-stick from Nightblooming's Etsy Shop
Also, this was not a sponsored post...I simply really like Nightbloomings work and wanted to share it with anyone else who might be interested in fun hair toys. :)
Thanks for reading,

I love that! I just don't see any in her shop. :(
How do you get your hair so smooth and pretty?

Greetings Arya,
She might be sold out of them at the moment, but I know she does custom orders on her shop.
Why thank you! Most kind of you to say.
Well, I don't do much to my hair actually. I don't use heat (blow dryer, curling iron) and I try to use as natural of a shampoo as possible. Oh! and coconut oil works great too, makes it shiney. :)

What kind of shampoo do you use? I've had a terrible time finding a good natural shampoo.

Greetings Arya,
actually....I have been on the hunt for a good natural shampoo for a while and finally found one!
I have been using it for 3 weeks now and love it.
I tried the baking soda/vinegar hair wash for a while and it worked fine, but I hair didn't feel silky like it used to. So I stopped.
How about I do a blog post on my long hair care routine?

I would really like to hear what you do for your hair care too. :) I am trying to grow my hair and am lookin for new stuff.
Thanks!

Hi! can I jump on this too?
I would love to see what you use. :D

What kind of bun is that?

Thank you, I don't know why I didn't realize it was a nautilus. :)

@Angelina P,
Yes it is a Nautilus.
I know I emailed you about it, but I thought I would reply here too just in case someone else had the same question. :)
I just wrap it shorter because of my layers.
I hope that helps!
