No really, its a stick or wire, usually covered in fabric that you wrap and twist your hair around to keep it up out of the way.
I make my own-my dad was an electrician, so I have access to thick electrical wire. I cut about a 12 inch lenghth of it, wrap it in duck tape with just a little batting or old fabric around it. Then I sew a tube of fabric, and slide the wire into the fabric tube and stitch the end shut. You put the stick across your back, near the end of your hair, and wind it up. When it gets up by your head, twist the ends together (since its wire, it bends to any shape). During the summer I use ones made from terry cloth (old towels) and I have also use scraps of satin, silk or velour for a fancier hairdo. You can also use them like a headbank, and twist the ends up on top your head into a flower shape.
I have also made and sold these at craft shows. Takes about $1 or $2 to make, and you can sell them for around $15.00
