Hair stackers?

From: "riverman"

tried a lipstick case, but when I dumped the hairs out, they all
fell into disarray again.

If you "dump the hairs out", nothing will work. You need to hold them by the
butts once the tips are aligned, and keep pressure on the hair until it is tied
in. I suppose a lipstick container would work, (you'd have to cut it down so
that the butts of shorter length hair would be exposed), but a "real" hair
stacke isn't real expensive, and, in most cases will be a bit more user
friendly.

What I did discover with the lipstick case was that the inside bottom was
not flat. (I had to use the lid, as the main body has some sort of mechanism
that holds the lipstick.) But even if I used a shell casing, I found that
when I put the hair in and tap it, most of it doesn't really settle down.
Then I grab the bottoms to take it out, and then transfer it to my other
hand by grasping the tips, and then tie it in. But in all that transfer, the
hairs get a bit out of alignment again. I think a real hair stacker has some
sort of 'collar' that you remove so that you can take the hairs out by the
tips, is that correct?

Like I said, this is sort of just mindless chatter, as I am going to buy one
anyway to try it out. I didn't know they came in different sizes, tho.
