I'm a firm believer that every girl should have a hairstick in her purse in case of emergencies (well, if your hair is long enough that is). Say your hair falls, or your hair gets wet or you just need to dress your self up quickly hairsticks are just the thing. I always try to have one pair of hairsticks in my purse at all times. Hairsticks like this cunningly carved fleur de lis or celtic spirals ones here.
