I bought this in Hawaii. You can easily create a bun by twisting your hair and inserting the stick! Since the stick part is made of two pieces, I think this is better for those with smooth, silky hair (than a stick with only one piece). Of course, those who dance hula, as well as anyone else, can use this on various occasions♪ - Material: Wood - Size (longest): Approximately 19cm long x 7cm wide There are no noticeable stains, but it has been stored at home, so the color may have faded slightly. Therefore, the condition of the product is listed as "no noticeable scratches or stains." Please take a look at the photos before considering a purchase. Also, due to fees and shipping costs, please refrain from price reductions♪ Thank you for looking.
