Lilla Rose Flexi Hair Clips

When I was a teenager, I thought hair scrunchies were a girl’s best friend. I had one in every color, to match every outfit. There were even some special ones that friends made in the sunflower floral prints they knew I loved. I had the scrunchie bun perfected. And I wore my scrunchies until they wore out from too many washings and wearings.

I still wear scrunchies to bed once in awhile. And though they make newer, more fashionable scrunchie styles these days, I always feel a bit like I’mΒ goingΒ back to the era of stirrup stretch pants when I put a scrunchie in my hair. Which is why I was delighted to find a more stylish and classic alternative that makes the most elegant updo ever: the Lilla Rose Flexi Hair Clip.

Lilla Rose Updo with Large Flexi Hair Clip

I eyed them on a friend’s blog and Instagram feed for over a year, thinking that if ever I grew my hair out I’d have to try one out. And when I did, I wondered why I’d waited until I grew out my hair. I wear my Flexi Clips every day. There’s always one in my purse for emergencies. They are just as easy to use as claw clips or scrunchies, and one hundred percent more gorgeous. I would have grown out my hair sooner if I had known this no-headache bun solution existed.

Adornabelle Lilla Rose Half-Up

I started out with a medium Flexi Clip. It holds an updo up nicely, or a half-up style perfectly. But as my hair grew longer, I decided to try a size large. It is perfect for holding all my hair in a massive twist or bun.

I got my sister a large Flexi Clip for her birthday. Turns out her hair (that makes a pony tail many inches in circumference!) needs an extra large size Flexi Clip, but my mom was glad to claim the large.

Adornabelle Lilla Rose Updo with Extra Large Size Flexi Clip

For Christmas, I decided to get my girls hair clips “just like mommy’s”. My five-year-old daughter has smooth and gently wavy hair that comes just past her shoulders. I got the extra small size for her and it makes an updo that looks like a twin to mine! Despite her baby-fine hair, the clip stays in amazingly well.

Adornabelle Lilla Rose

My three-year-old has hair that rivals Shirley Temple’s. And she hates to have anything in it that she can feel or that seems to pull her curls. The mini Flexi Clip gives some control to her curls in a way that doesn’t bother her at all.

Adornabelle Lilla Rose

Thanks to the Flexi Clip, we have the perfect hairdo for those rushed Sunday mornings when there’s no time to wash or braid hair. It’s an easy fix for a bad hair day. And an elegant alternative to the scrunchie.Β  The Flexi Hair Clip is definitely a girl’s best friend.

    I really like flexi clips they are so easy to wear . I have long hair that isn’t horribly thick but it is thick . I use a extra large for doing buns , small for pony tails,mini for pulling back a little had from the front of your head like when you are using buretts to pull your bangs back .I used to only do braids and pony tails cause my hair knots easily . These work wonders give them a try I am sure you will like them all except the prices.

    Hmmm. I wonder what size I would need with my adult woman, long hair, but baby-baby fine?

    I reckon folks would pass clean out if they saw me in something other than a ponytail and/or a J. Deere baseball cap. Might be worth a twirl. πŸ˜‰

    Blessings.

    Lilla Rose Flexi clips are my favorite I think because I can so a ponytail with my long hair much easier than with a scrunchie. I am giving them to my bridesmaids as their gift for being in my wedding. Previously, my favorite was a claw clip.

    I usually just use bobby pins to either pin my hair up in a bun or to leave it down but pin the sides back so it doesn’t all hang in my face.

    I generally wear my hair in a “half-up” style, with a simple barette from Wal-Mart (although I have gotten some with a “grip” on them that keeps them from slipping off). When I put it all up, it takes several little claw clips and bobby pins to make it stay. I have waist-length hair, and it’s fairly thick and wavy. I’ve been hoping to try a Flexi Clip, as I think it would be far more comfortable and easy to do. Thanks for doing the giveaway!

    My favorite hair accessory is my hair donut. My hair is pretty thin so it gives my bun a bit more volume and shape and it’s so easy to use. I love it for bad hair days when nothing else will make my hair look neat.

    Almost every day I use tiny little claw-clips to hold up my hair. They’re versatile. A friend gave me a flexi-clip, and I really like that. It’s so pretty! The size I have slips out of a pony tail and won’t quite hold a twisted style most of the time. So it would be nice to get a different size and use them more!

    Hmmm, my favorite easy hair accessory would have to be a good-old hair elastic. I use it to pull my hair back into a messy bun. It’s quick and easy, and it keeps my thick heavy hair out of my eyes.

    A “claw” clip; esp in the summer time! I use elastic bands a lot too for ponytails. And sometimes bobby pins are really great!

    My favorite easy accessory is fancy bobby pins. I can pull back enough off the sides to keep my hair out of my face, but still have some volume on top of my head. I usually need 4 to do a decent job. I sometimes like wide headbands, too, especially when out in the yard. The ones I wear are so wide that I can stretch them back & the act as a protection from branches grabbing at my hair. I’d love to try one of these Flexi clips.

    I use mostly just rubber bands. Pull my hair back in a braid, bun, or ponytail. I do have a flexi clip which I love, but it is a bit too big for my hair in a ponytail and keeps sliding out, but it is a bit too small to pull all of my hair up. I really want to try a different size!

    No headache with these? Seriously?! I get a headache no matter how I put my hair up, it seems.

    My favorite hair accessory right now is a simple clip to pull the top of my hair back and away from my face. Keeps me from going crazy with it in my face all day, but doesn’t give me a headache. I would LOVE to find something to put all my hair up, though, without getting a headache. I’m longing for the warmth of summer, but dreading the heat of my hair on my neck!

      I think it’s because I can twist it up loosely that it doesn’t give me a headache? I’m not sure, but I’m sure I love it, LOL! Obviously, I end up with headaches some days that I’m using the Flexi Clip, but they don’t seem to be specifically updo caused…

    Do bobby pins count? I use them the most. I just stick them in my mass of curly hair and form it into a messy bun most days.

    These days, my favorite accessories are Scunchi’s mini claw clips. If I spin a bun just right, one or two small clips will hold the edges and keep everything in place.

My hair is thick and waist length, so I wonder if I would need to get an extra large. Would love to have a cuter way to put it up when I’m in a hurry!

      My sister’s hair was just past her shoulders when these pictures were taken, I think. Have you checked out the sizing page? It’s got lots of help based on the circumference of your pony tail, etc.

    My favourite hairpiece *used* to be a hairstick. It was this very pretty frosted plastic one with cherry blossoms etched on the end. And then it snapped when my hair got too thick and heavy. I still miss it, but the glamour of these pieces might have caught my fickle heart. πŸ˜›

    I love Lilla Rose Flexi Clips, but my other favorite hair piece would have to be “Spin Pins” you can get them at Wal-Mart, Target, Walgreens for about $5 a pair, and you have to use both for the updo. It makes a perfect bun, even for rather short (shoulder-length) hair. In the summer I use those almost daily to keep my hair off my neck.

    When my hair was really long, I used a hair stick or chopstick every day. Put it in the middle of the hair, fold over the stick, twist up and poke through – a secure bun in 15 second with no mirror or pins! Since I cut my hair, I haven’t found much to do with it, though thankfully I haven’t often needed to. I have to say, though tightly wound baby fingers are my most common, they are NOT my favorite hair accessory!
