do you ever... put your hair up with a knot & a chopstick?

this is what i do with my just-washed hair

i gather it up as if i'm making a ponytail,

twist it into a knot,

then skewer it securely

{say that 5 times fast}

with a fancy chopstick.

{you can also use a pencil}

it's quick, easy, pretty,

& better for your hair than an elastic band.

have you ever tried to photograph the back of your head?

it's not easy.

and this hairstyle has a bonus:

once it's dry,

it has turned my stick-straight hair

into loose ringlet curls.

i actually made these beaded chopsticks

13 years ago when i worked here.

{i was even their hair model!}
