Long Hair Chinese Bang Hair Sticks In Short Hair?

Hair Sticks in Short Hair? - long hair chinese bang

I recently purchased a Chinese hair sticks and try to understand how to use them. But I understand that for my longer hair and is about an inch shorter than the length of the shoulder. Hitting long and can not turn the horse in the middle, and so far it is the most efficient, but nothing I try works fine. I want to be able to say with only chopsticks, but if I is a ponytail holder's okay too. Thank you!
