I purchased 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 one is better for those with smooth, silky hair (than the one-piece stick). Of course, those who dance hula, and anyone else, can use this for 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 there may be some fading or scratches. Therefore, the condition of the product is listed as "no noticeable scratches or stains." (Please forgive any oversights due to amateur inspection) If you are looking for a new item, please refrain from purchasing. In addition, due to the relationship between fees and shipping costs, we ask that you refrain from price reductions♪ Thank you for viewing.
