The hair sticks in the LongLocks HoloStix line are finished in a fabulous lacquer that has the tiniest holographic particles suspended within. When applied to the black ground of our hand carved bone hair sticks the effect is absolutely breathtaking! Words cannot describe this finish when it catches the light and displays teensy tiny flashes of every color in the rainbow. Unfortunately this gorgeous effect will never be accurately portrayed in two dimensions... you have to see it in person to truly appreciate its full beauty. Several coats of clear enamel are added to help protect the glittering hologram lacquer and to add a luxuriously smooth, glossy outer finish to the hair jewelry. These subtly sparkling hair sticks are perfect for creating trendy prom updos or even everyday hairstyles. Every hand crafted LongLocks HoloStix hair jewelry design is archived, one-of-a-kind and never exactly duplicated!
