My flexis are here! My flexis are here! I ordered two L's during the Lilla Rose black friday sale. I've only ever seen an XL in person so these seem SO tiny and baby-like, I can't even imagine what an M or an S look like!
Excuse my oily hair, I oiled it yesterday forgetting I didn't bring conditioner home so until I get to the store, well, this will have to do.
Also, my hair is only just APL when stretched (I've got another half inch curly) and the only bun I can figure out how to do is a modified LWB (basically, there's no wrap). So, if anyone has any good buns that an APL-with-layers could pull off for my pretties, send em my way! (I tried a cinnabun but the layers made it look sloppy and my flexi barely covered or held it, I think I'd need an XL for that).

Awwh! That's such a compliment coming from you- I love YOUR hair! These are in LWB's, but it's modified for shorter hair since I don't have the length to do any actual "wrapping" right now. I haven't tried a french twist yet, that'll be next on my list! :)

How comfy are these in your hair? My fine hair catches in the clasp of my necklace. I'm concerned it may catch between the beads.

I find them comfy. My hair also catches in my necklace, but never on my flexis. That's just my experience though, hopefully others will pipe up too :)

December 5th, 2013, 11:57 AM
Will admit mine occasionally catches and I have very fine hair. But I know others, like rags, loves them and doesn't have a problem. I still like them but I have to be VERY careful.

rags
December 5th, 2013, 12:31 PM
Yes, I love them and rarely have a problem with them catching, and I have baby, baby fine hair. The ones with dangles will catch though (long dangles). I am very careful with them too, because usually it's one or two hairs and if I'm careful removing them then it's no problem. I have the same deal with the hinge of Ficcares, so I'm just careful about removal. But I LOVE my flexis!

And those are absolutely gorgeous on you! I'll bet a pencil bun would work with your layers, and it plays well with Flexis! Just use one or two fingers instead of the whole hand and it will work for shorter hair.

Awh thanks gemruby! I don't know how long your hair is but I'm only barely at APL, so I'm sure it's well within your reach!!

The beads are kind of dark metallic blueish green. I thought they were more clear, but they're not, and that's okay I guess. I was hoping for a little more sparkle? But they're still very pretty!


Magfish I love that big flower flexi it looks amazing in your hair.

My hair decided to sproing up/out more than usual today for some reason (ah the joys of wurly hair) and I had an awful lot of trouble getting a large to work, so I'm especially happy I ordered the FOTM in extra large too :) I did manage to eventually to smush my hair into a center held with a large.

Thanks rowie! That November 2012 piece is super gorgeous. I was going to try to get a hold of it in extra large, but I think you said that you couldn't find it so I doubt there are any left.

I'm a little sad that I only ordered larges during my Black Friday flexi binge, but while the extra large fits (or at least it does today) it still feels weirdly heavy since I'm used to the large. I suppose I will survive with center helds.

I ordered the cat flexi in XL, very much looking forward to try it. Even my boyfriend is saying that it looked pretty. :p
I have two other flexis, one in M and one in L, the M doesn't fit at all, and the L works best in centre held buns. If XL works well, I might be ordering some more very soon. I really like the celtic centered one, but of course the one I have is size M. I want a new one. :p

NaClH2O
December 6th, 2013, 08:52 PM
If the M is too small and the L works in center-held buns, than the XL will be perfect plus some room to grow! I love my XL's, most of my flexi's are that size.

My L Emerald Dream arrived yesterday! It's super pretty! And because I'm both super busy and super lazy, I won't take any action pictures until tomorrow :couch: It's dark outside now, so the pictures wouldn't be any good.

I do have something silly though. I removed my flexi-8 because I had to redo my bun, and DBF immediately picked it up to have a closer look. He then put it in his hair and said that he felt like he was wearing glasses on the back of his head. I often feel like that too :lol:

I added two more pictures to my blog. I like that the centerpiece and the beads have different shades of green.

It kinda depends what style you put it up with. I do taekwondo and I find that a braided nautilus held with a flexi is one of the sturdiest hairstyles out there! I don't imagine it would be as stable with say a cinnabun though, cause nautiluses are already pretty stable.

The cat flexi has arrived. I'm not really sure what to think of it when it comes to the size. It is too small to wrap around a whole bun, but a little bit to big to make lazy wraps comfy. I probably just need to try more different updos and anchoring points.

Rowie, beautiful pictures as always! The Fall Harvest is sooo pretty!

Thanks KittyBird.:flower: I have a long way until I reach my goal length of classic, but at least I have you and your fabulous action pics to keep me motivated. :)

Rowie, you have an amazing collection of flexi's!

Awww thanks gembruby41. :flower: I love looking at your pictures as well. It's nice to be able to share action pictures with someone who has similar hair color as I do. :)


The cat flexi has arrived. I'm not really sure what to think of it when it comes to the size. It is too small to wrap around a whole bun, but a little bit to big to make lazy wraps comfy. I probably just need to try more different updos and anchoring points.

So I randomly thought of searching ebay for Flexis, and lo and behold someone is selling a ton of larges! I got one for 9.99 plus a couple dollars for shipping. They all seem to be ending in the next day though, but almost all of them have 0 bids! I just searched ebay for "flexi 8" and they came up.

So by Feb if there are any flexi's still available which I like, I could order and ship it to my mom's. I am kind of becoming a flexi addict, not good at all.

The seller is selling all large sizes too, we never know if those are genuine, hope they are.

I bought it and asked Steve if he knows if this is an original Flexi8... and it is! It's one of the early versions of the Flexi-8’s that John Dorsey assembled himself!! I can't believe it, it must be 15 years old.
I hope it will arrive here soon!

Now I'm only just above BSL, and so far I only know how to do the lazy wrap bun (and even that's not very good, the ends wind up untwisting and falling out, but hey I'm new!). What bun types would you recommend at my length to do with a flexi?

Excellent pictures!!!! It's truly beautiful, and so hard to capture. I'm wearing that one today actually, in honor of "almost Christmas".

I accidentally discovered a trick that might help some people if they're having trouble inserting the flexi- insert it upside down (the stick part) and then once it's in, flip it. This works for center held buns at least.

ETA: I just noticed that the silver plating is coming off the beads on my snowflake flexi wherever it touches my hair. It turns dull and scrapes off easily. I've only worn this flexi a few times. :cry:

It's not really noticeable when worn but I'm upset because this isn't the kind of thing I expect to see on something that's spent most of its time sitting on my dresser.

The beads look really bad now (only a few of them and only on one side) and I think I know what happened- they're clearly black plastic coated in something, and I think the pressure on the beads when it's worn has caused them to deform and crack the coating. I am very disappointed. The flexi is beautiful, but seems to look worse each time I wear it. :(

I've only worn it a couple times. I got some pictures (which I'm too lazy to upload right now) and I plan to email my consultant tomorrow to see if anything can be done. If it can't be repaired or exchanged, I think I will attempt my own repair as this flexi is just too beautiful to let go. I don't have high hopes for an exchange because they are probably out of stock. :( Maybe they can rebuild it with new beads though.

Could someone help me decide on the size? :( I am having some trouble with this.
My pony circumference is 8 cm (approx. 3.15 inches) and my hair is a mix of F/M. It's at BSL right now, I've been maintaining for about 6 months, but for the next year I'd like to grow about an extra 10 cm of hair (this would put me at about waist+) and maintain for a while again until I decide if I want to grow any further...
Also, I like wearing my hair up in buns, mostly the lazy wrap :) but I could try different styles of buns, of course. So, does anyone have a size suggestion for me?

I may have a Flexi-8 addiction because my advice is to get multiple sizes. I use a mini for barrettes and for a tiny half up, a XS for a gibbson or a more normal half up, a S for a ponytail, and a M or L for french twist, and L for buns. My hair is slightly shy of BSL. I'm looking forward to when my hair grows even longer and I need XL or megas for buns. That'll mean it's time for more flexis! Practically speaking, it's fun to put my hair in a style and know I have a flexi for it. If it's a little loose or a little tight, I have them all lined up so it's an easy grab. Good luck in your flexi journey.

I just got my first ones, a medium and a large. Both work for different styles, but today I tried to secure my infinity bun with the large and it wouldn't fit, so I need an XL, too. I agree with the other advice to get multiple sizes. To give you a place to start, measure the diameter of your bun. Flexi8 pins have a measurement, and you will want to match your bun diameter to the Flexi8 pin.

I see that you have pixie length hair right now, according to your profile. So, I'm not sure how you are using the Flexi8. Have you tried taking a section of the canopy of your hair, giving it a twist, and then putting the flexi8 through it? This is often done with barrettes, but would be very pretty with a Flexi8. Also, I see that you have i or ii hair. I am on the average to lower side of having ii hair, and it took a while for my hair to have enough length that I could really hold any sort of hair toy in it. It's slippery and toys just slip right out.

I think Arachnid's hair is longer now, shoulder or longer, being as she's able to do a french twist.

Arachnid - If you're finding your hair just wants to escape at this stage, maybe use spin pins to hold your french twist, and use the flexi as decoration.

Thanks! Here's hoping I got a size I can use. I'm pretty sure I could use any of them in one way or another, but I hope it works for my usual styles.

Same here! I think I like the 2012 version better! The peacock is has its tail drooping down for 2014, like it's not proud. The 2012 edition the peacock had his feathers spread open, and hence the title "Proud Display of Colors."

:scissors:

For the first time in Flexi history I would have to agree with you this time about the dangles in this piece.:thumbsup: I'm also not a fan of how this piece dangles (I'm usually ok with certain dangles), and to me raising the tail down for the year is not good symbolism compared to the the proud upright flared fan of the 2012 version.

ETA: Congrats LHB! I'm sure it will look fabulous on your hair though. At least I can already envision it on your hair.

I can't decide if I want this one either. I didn't buy the November flexi and I'm kicking myself now, so I don't want to miss this one and regret it, but I think the blue of the bird is just not me. I do like the dangles, however. Hmmmm....

Also, even if I did want to buy it, I can't decide what size to get. At some point I'm going to need something more than an XL if I want to do anything other than a center-held bun, but the Megas look massive. I know what the size difference is, but can anyone say how much heavier the Megas are?

Hey, guys. I have a L flexi 8 and an X large. The X large is 'sort of' too big. It fits, but it feels better on the second notch and even then, its heavy and I don't wear it much. I acquired a L. Its so much smaller! My buns are jammed into it and I want it to wear buns. I rarely wear pony tails which it fits for (and it actually even fits well for half ups).
Is it common to be sort of between flexi sizes like this? Any solutions other than waiting for more length? I don't have a lot of length now (bra strap stretched), but I am thick with poufy curls.

Yes, because I'm right smack dab between an xl and mega. A xl barely closes and a mega has alittle too much room.

January 1st, 2014, 05:27 PM
There is a big difference between the L and XL sizes (or at least I find that there is). I am sort of between those sizes too. I can wear the XL but it feels heavy and ever so slightly loose. The large is a bit snug on me and on days where my hair is extra poofy/curly I can't get the large to close. Maybe try a center held bun with the large?

I think you'll get more mileage out of a medium. I was pretty surprised at how small the medium is.

There is a HUGE jump in size from the large to the extra large! Wow, I just got my FOTM in XL today. Action shot, holding an infinity bun:

http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b270/Bestbirth/Hair%20Gallery/001-14.jpg (http://s21.photobucket.com/user/Bestbirth/media/Hair%20Gallery/001-14.jpg.html)

The dangles on this one don't get in the way at all when I'm putting it in my hair.

To maybe help with sizing a little, here are two more pictures. My hair is as it says in my profile, circumference is about 9-9.5 cm, and my most recent length is what you see in my signature pic.

My medium flexi8 holding a nautilus bun:

http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b270/Bestbirth/Hair%20Gallery/002-6.jpg (http://s21.photobucket.com/user/Bestbirth/media/Hair%20Gallery/002-6.jpg.html)

The dangles on this medium can get tangled up pretty easy when putting it in, so I have to hold it just right putting it in my hair, and it still gets tangled up sometimes. I do love it, though. It's very pretty.

Here's my large flexi8, holding a braided nautilus:

http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b270/Bestbirth/Hair%20Gallery/001-8.jpg (http://s21.photobucket.com/user/Bestbirth/media/Hair%20Gallery/001-8.jpg.html)

My husband picked the medium and the large out for me. I like the medium, but the large has beads that almost match my hair, so I think I would have rather had something with more colors. Oh well, it's still very nice. Maybe I'll decide to swap it with someone for a more colorful large.

I'd think probably a medium would be best. Plus, if you're still growing, it's better to get the bigger size (you can grow into it, as my mother would say.) Flexi is also supposed to be pretty good about returns if you order and the size doesn't work :)

I can't seem to get a good picture of the back of my head right now unfortunately.

Well, that´s just perfect Catladyintown!

NaClH2O + Kelli Kat + Skade + Catladyintown = 150

Lets make it a 150 Years birthday party! :cake: :magic:

:joy::cake: Yay!!! Happy January birthdays to all 4 of us! We need to celebrate and get matching birthday flexi's I think.

Thank you Skade and NaClH2O. NaClH20 good idea on the flexi .:D It would be nice if Lilla Rose would have a birthday flexi for each month. With matching color beads suited for your birthday month.

I think you'll get more mileage out of a medium. I was pretty surprised at how small the medium is.

There is a HUGE jump in size from the large to the extra large! Wow, I just got my FOTM in XL today. Action shot, holding an infinity bun:

The dangles on this one don't get in the way at all when I'm putting it in my hair.

Laura, the new peacock flexi looks beautiful in your infinity bun!

Oh My! Just took a peek at the Flexi-8s and Hair Sticks :love: My wallet is trembling in fear.

Is the January 2014 Peacock a Limited Edition, does anyone know? Think my Sis would love it for her Birthday.

Hope this link works: Peacock https://secure.lillarose.biz/MemberToolsDotNet/ShoppingCartNew/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=19043&CatalogueID=204&PartyID=0&PartyGuestID=0&InternalUse=1&ProductGroupString=67.72 Flexi

Hi DelynofRhondda the Peacock is a Flexi Of The Month. And Lilla Rose only makes so many. And the FOTM only sells for that 30 days or until they sell out. So yes FOTM are limited and become valuable in time.HTH

What a stunning mega bun! How long is your hair Isa-belle?
It is currently at fingertip length with a blunt hemline. I'd say 110 to 115 cm?


Isa-belle, you hair is SO GORGEOUS! :crush: You are my hair idol.
:smooch: now that is quite a compliment :o

LauraLongLocks the peacock Flexi looks wonderful in your hair. I wasn't a big fan of the dangle to start with but it certainly looks fantastic on you. :)

Love the enthusiasm ladies :D Good idea about matching birthday flexis NaClH2O. And Catladyintown, you should write to flexi8 and suggest that idea with a birthday flexi each month, suited for your birthday month. I have always liked that we in January have garnet. Would make a good one.

Very pretty, Sunny Sunshine! I really like the look of red hairtoys on red hair :D

Also, lovely pictures everyone else. The January 2014 FOTM is so pretty! I also ordered it in mega when it came out, waiting for it to arrive now :o
I like how the peacock is not symmetrical (as opposed to the symmetrical peacock of the January 2012 FOTM, although that one was pretty too) and the dangles give it a nice flowy look :inlove:

Beautiful flexi and hair color. I ordered this and can't wait to get it. Is this a left-handed one or did a mirror flip it?

I wear my flexis as scarf or shawl fasteners far more often than I wear them in my hair!

They work REALLY WELL for this. Well enough, in fact, I'm surprised they're not marketed this way. The small or XS works on the crocheted things, the XL works on the wrap.

Lovely hair AND flexis here everyone! I am wondering if I should invest in my first Flexi! I have a bun diameter of 5 to 6 inches, so am wondering what size would I need to buy?

Isilme
January 8th, 2014, 04:07 PM
I just sent an email to Flexi 8 about the Dreamcatcher style. If I have gotten it right it was a flexi of the month once? I just have to know if I will be able to buy it in the future (student so no money right now!) I'd love to buy it in small for a halfup and mega once spring rolls around.
ETA. I just got a really nice answer from Steve, he said a Dreamcatcher in mega would be a custom order but no problems, and they would restock the size small in a couple of days! Wee!

Okay has anyone else had a sharp bit on a flex-8? I was experimenting with a extra-large one this afternoon in a bun (well a very messy crooked bun) and whilst trying to 'weave' the stick through I heard a pop and pulled it out and sure enough there were some strands hooked and pulled on the arm! I felt it and theres a very sharp little snare one the arm, I wish I'd checked before I used it :( Should I toss it or try and file it down?
