My hair is fairly thin, fine and quite silky. Currently about armpit length though it used to be quite long and I'm looking to grow it out again.

I want to learn how to use hair sticks or hair forks before it gets too long but my attempts so far at using a simple chopstick as a hair stick have only ended in both pain and failure. Trying to get the stick into its secure position I always manage to pull and break my hair and then it just slips out instantly. I've tried a couple different approaches but I'm just completely lost... aren't smooth hair sticks meant to be the best thing for not breaking hair?

I don't dye or style in any way because my hair is fragile af. Fragile hair advice also welcome.
