I Finally Tried THIS Unique Hair Accessory . . . and I Love It!

You know those things you really want to try, but never seem to get around to? Maybe it’s a delicious-looking recipe, an adorable dress pattern, or a fun craft with the kids. With me, that list of never-did-get-around-to’s grows longer and longer each year. Oh, well. At least there’s one thing I did this year that I’d always really wanted to do!

Alot of you may have already heard of the Lilla Rose “Flexi Clips.” I had, and I thought they were just too cute and wanted to try them out for myself. I hope you will enjoy this video I prepared for you all, showing several ways I’ve been using my new Flexi.

One of my good friends actually sent me one as a gift right before I cut my hair to below shoulder length, a couple years ago. Since the one she sent me was an Extra-Extra Large, I unfortunately couldn’t use it, though I’m saving it, believe me! My hair has since grown to waist length, and I plan on letting it continue. Recently, I met another very nice lady, Sarah Morris, who offered to let me try the Flexi Clip for free in order to see how I liked it. My answer was immediately, Yes! I ordered one in Large, to see how that would fit.

I think I might have done better to get it another size up, but that’s okay. I’ve been able to use the Flexi successfully these past few months to get my hair out of the way while caring for our new baby (now four months!). On the Lilla Rose site, there is a helpful sizing chart you can use as a guideline in ordering the right size. I did use that, but I think I may not have considered how fast my hair is growing. Just something to remember.

As with anything else that’s new, there was a learning curve to using the Flexi Clip. I had to figure out a different method than I had been used to of gathering my hair and securing it, without any stray pieces escaping (though some people don’t mind that). The really good thing is, that it wasn’t too much work. Part of my problem, I’ve discovered, is that my hair is at just the right length for the ends of my hair to fall out the bottom of my bun when I wrap it; if my hair were a few inches longer (or shorter), the pieces would wind up near the top of my bun (which is where I like to place the Flexi Clip) instead of the bottom. The solution to that is probably just patience, while my hair grows more.

So, here’s a quick summary of what I believe are the advantages, and also the possible drawbacks of the Flexi Clip, for any of you who might be interested:

Advantages:

–Easy to use. Doesn’t require a lot of bobby pins.

–Fast. Minimal time involved.

–Practical. Great way to manage long hair (or short) in a pinch.

–Beautiful. So many styles to choose from, and all of them gorgeous!

Possible Drawbacks:

-Takes practice to use.

-Though adjustable, still needs to be a close fit in order to work properly.

-Can cost more than other types of hair accessories.

In my opinion, the advantages outweigh the possible drawbacks, which can all be overcome with only a little extra effort. After trying out the Flexi Clip over the past few months, I’ve become a believer in all its rewarding, positive points!
