The first modern day hairstick I ever saw was a guy's! 

You can make a simple ponytail using a hairstick by holding it close to your head and wrapping your hair around the stick once (or more depending on length and the look you want to achieve), levering the stick to the opposite side, and pushing it back through the hair that's against your head.

I'm not sure if you mean ChapStix instead of chopstix, but here's a link to my more gender non specific sticks:
