Useful Links for Hairtoys and Styles

Style and Treatment

Dreamweaver Braiding
Lovely site by a master braider, many photographs of fantastic styles and some fairly in-depth instructions as well. Also contains many links to other braider sites.

Styling Station
Excellent long hair styling tips and directions from the Long Hair Loom.

The Beauty Brains
Excellent site about the truth behind cosmetic companies' claims, run by a number of anonymous cosmetic chemists who are anxious to debunk the false claims and myths. Excellent information about hair products (and other cosmetic products as well).

Imaginary Styles
Styling site for the various odd and pretty styles seen in many fantasy movies. The young woman who runs this site has exceptionally thick hair and does all of the styles herself. If you also have very long/thick hair, you can get a lot of good ideas out of this site. (You may want to go into the site from here, as the index page has some strange CSS on it that can make it render oddly.)

The World of Hair
A site by Proctor & Gamble. Surprisingly useful and straightforward despite being a sponsored site. You'll find no insistence in using P&G haircare products, and a great deal of honest advice and information. Excellent site.

Henna for Hair
Forums and purchase for the only dyestuff anyone who wishes to grow very long hair should ever use. Also an excellent treatment for dandruff.

The Niamh Elite
Livejournal community for people with waistlength or longer hair. Good tips and information.

Hairtoys: Clips, Sticks, and Others

Ficcare
The best hairclips for very long hair, bar none. The Maximas clip in particular is almost the only clip anyone with very long hair would ever need. Three sizes, the large is recommended for classic-length use.

Argus Designs
Marvelous, robust wood and titanium hairtoys. Closed for the 2007 season.

Susannah's Combs
Lovely vintage haircombs and forks, not inexpensive and aimed at collectors.

eBay Hair Sticks, Combs, and Picks
Wonderful things. You'll find many of the sellers I mention on my Hairsticks page there, such as Ron Quattro, Graydog, Monk the Monk, Wood by C, and Lalo Orna.

Dressy Tresses
Lovely, strong, very femme if you like that sort of thing.

Maiden's Treasures
Top-quality, a real cut above the standard "stick of wood with beads."
