Mei Fa hairsticks

These seem to be my favorite hairsticks, I am amassing a collection. Some are vintage, several are from the swap board, the latest acquisitions being the blue set and green set on either end. I have included action shots, too! A special thank you to Anna09 who included a matching set of earrings with the green sticks - I am modeling them.

Pretty! I love Mei Fa's; they look so elegant. I suppose we can turn this into a "show me your mei fa's" thread? I don't think we have done a photo thread for Mei Fa yet. I'll have to go snap some pics!

Love your silver-topped shorties kdaniels8811! Mei Fa's are by far my favorite sticks, though I've only had two pair.

But the short length held my TBL hair, and still work at shoulder. Love 'em.

I really like the look of them, too. But aren't they a bit too delicate for long hair? How on earth can you hold your hair with Mei Fa, Cinnamon?

*If anybody wonder what "Mei Fa" means, it's just "beautiful hair" in Chinese.

I love Mei Fa hairsticks a lot, they look so fragile but can hold a lot of hair. Here is my collection:

I can use them in a cinnamon or other round shaped bun. Sometimes with a couple Good Hair Days pins helping out or if I get the Mei Fa sticks positioned just so, they will do the work all on their own. Mei Fa's are more delicate than, say, dymondwood sticks for example, but they are still quite sturdy. I just have to be careful not to torque them too much when inserting in the bun.

OHOHOH!, Trollkjerring, I am now in serious envy. I love your sticks! You have a beautiful collection. I want,want,want....

Wind - the short silver topped are perfect for wearing to sleep in and not poking hubbys eye out. They are very comfortable to sleep in. I found them on the swap board and they are 4" long.

Mei Fa's are a relatively new weakness for me. I've only bought mine used because it is a little easier for me to afford this way. I still need certain colors and looking at these collections has me lusting over some of these designs although it looks as if many of these are no long available. Sad for me, but better for my budget I suppose.
