The Flexi-8 / Lilla Rose Thread

[Valkyriejae]

I'm slogging my way through the ordering process now. It's slow, but at least it's not losing my information every time I add something to my cart ><
I absolutely LOVE the new FOTM. My dad's fam is Scottish, and I've always liked thistles, plus I've been trying to find a suitable hairtoy for Remembrance Day ceremonies (last couple years I've just worn a plain ebony fork) and this would be perfectly suited with purple and a thistle.

ETA: I've settled on the thistle, the owl, the tawny and the new turtle for now. I'm not 100% sure about the tubing, but I love the turtle centerpiece, so worst case scenario is I get a flexi to take apart and experiment with :)

[DollyDagger]

Woohoo...order complete!
3 new flexis on their way with FREE shipping :happydance:

Now I am on a shopping hold until 2017 ~ TOY COLLECTION COMPLETE :p

*I need to use EVERY toy in my collection the next year ;)
..nice :) congrats ..ooo that will be good if you can manage that.

But don't mind me...happy shopping ladies (This was my 2nd order in the past month) LOL
..nice :) congrats ..ooo that will be good if you can manage that. Ive been on a terrible spree between products and hair toys. Divine intervention it is that i cant get this order through..should i give it another try though..?? : ) MMMMMaaybe

[rags]

Aargh I got on - but I'm only getting the one flexi thing. Bah humbug.

LOL I just found the 'Hairtoy time-out support' thread....I;ll be jumping on that for sure ;)

I'd just wait...it will go through; check out was fine for me.

[Theobroma]

I just made some extra money with surveys, so.. I put that to good use. Yup.. after TWO hours :lol: I managed to get two more in the cart. Rays of sunshine and night owl. :)

Oooh, I got Night Owl as well! I've been eyeing it up for ages, and at 30% off it was too good to resist. An XL for under $15? Bring it on! :D

I also got Floral Design and the new Pearl. Not sure I completely trust that PVC tubing, but the action shot combined with the 15% discount convinced me. I really like how it looks in an updo, so we'll just have to hope the PVC is durable enough!


Aargh I got on - but I'm only getting the one flexi thing. Bah humbug.

I had that issue for at least a couple of hours, but when I tried again later the site was working normally. (If "glacially slow" counts as "normally".)

[rags]

I only want a mini! (It's not like I can wear anything else right now anyway :p ). I've gotten just the one flexi showing, then the list but firestorm error, and now it appears to be moving - albeit glacially slow as you said, Theobroma!

It makes you want to quit even looking. I hope they fix it soon.

ETA: Firestorm error and it dumped my cart. I'm done for now.

[Groovy Granny]

I feel for you ladies...it was frustrating at times....and hope you get what you want....soon!!

That sounds like we are coping with the same addiction.. hmm? :lol:

[jennareid]

There was the same problem last time but I powered through. I'm not even trying this time. I checked a few times over the course of the day and I can't even access the online store at all. They say techs are working on it, but they should have been working long before the sale started. They know it does this every single time, they should have been prepared. I'll stick to taking my chances on the swap board. Don't think I'll order from them again.

[Groovy Granny]

That sounds like we are coping with the same addiction.. hmm? :lol:

When they have a sale....it can happen lol

I had one...bought 2 years ago when I joined, then just bought one a month ago....thought I was done; until this sale :p

NOW I am done :wannabe:

[eadwine]

Whahahaha that is what I thought some 20 flexis ago......

Gah! I'd email them with the style and size you want. I think they've accepted email orders in the past when the page was acting up!

[Scarlet_Heart]

Got my simple gold, woop woop.

[Groovy Granny]

I got that too :)

Along with the 'floral metals' and 'Montana'.

And the 'gold/pearl tree of life' earlier this month :wannabe:

[Scarlet_Heart]

Good haul, GG! :applause:

[Groovy Granny]

Good haul, GG! :applause:

Yeah...not bad (compared to some here) lol

Add those to my aurora I bought 2 years ago and I am happy :)

[ravenreed]

I had thought of that, but I don't know the name of the new style that I want because I can't get the pictures to load.

Yea, I'm not much of a flexi gal. But I've often seen the simple flexi and dreamed that they would make it in gold. I have two old ones, a celtic heart and a tree of life (both silver-toned) and then last summer I got the gold open flower just to have a gold one. I rarely use them because I don't like silver and the gold flower is very dressy. I have a feeling I'll wear the simple gold a lot. I like matching my flexi to my jewelry. :)

I am interested in using mine more now that I have secure LWB's.

And I LOVE matching earrings to hair toys :thumbsup:

[KittyBird]

The "Montana" clip is growing on me, I like it more and more.. I got some birthday money from my grandmother today, so I can afford to buy another clip.. The emerald dream is 30% off though, and I want that one in XXL too. I'll sleep on it and decided tomorrow. Hope they haven't sold out by then :p

[AlyBlu]

I really like the way the montana looks but I also love the dusky plum, which is the same style center peice.

The site is finally moving for me.

[two_wheels]

Well hello tawny flexi... how gorgeous. I couldn't access the site on my phone this morning so had to wait til now... hoping it will work now

Edit: Well ugh, that didn't work, stupid website issues. Guess I'll try another day.

[ravenreed]

I was successful but only by switching to IE. Also, I couldn't pay with Paypal, I had to pay with a credit card. I hope that helps anyone still struggling! It took me a few hours. *sigh*

[two_wheels]

Ah unfortunately I counterbalance my hairtoy spendthrift nature with a properly cheap operating system (linux) so no internet explorer for me....
Patience is a virtue, right?
Hopefully everyone else hates the tawny so I can buy mine when things calm down :lol:

[ravenreed]

I NEVER use IE, but desperate times call for desperate measures, huh? You might try contacting them directly and seeing if they can help. Good luck.

Mine just went through fairly quickly. Using Safari. No paypal issues.

I respect a lady who never uses IE!


Mine just went through fairly quickly. Using Safari. No paypal issues.
Encouraged, I tried again. This time I signed in *before* adding the flexi to my cart. Then clicked through as quickly as possible. Success!
I love turquoise and non- (or not entirely-) silver flexis so this is very exciting for me :o

[Groovy Granny]

Glad you all got through!
Looking forward to everyone's action pics :popcorn:

[rags]

I eventually got through on Safari also (Chrome, not so much luck). IE is horrid and I don't ever use it either unless every other browser I have refuses to work!

I only wanted the Montana - love the blues!

I ended up with a small as well as a mini - but it will be a few months for an action shot from me I think (why, oh why didn't I cut to APL instead of shoulder??? :p )

<hairtoy problems> :p

You'll fit into them very soon!
I loved those blues the best too after comparing it with the others.

[cutekitty]

I can't pay with Paypal :/

[eadwine]

Here is another linux user, been that for yeaaaars :lol: It makes no difference what your OS is. The site was having issues, not your browser or your OS.

My first two orders are marked as shipped, yay!

[ravenreed]

Actually, Firefox wouldn't even load the full site for me. I could see just one clip on the page before it would hang and give me an error message. With IE, I got to see everything, it was just the checkout process that was buggy.

[eadwine]

It was intermittent. Sometimes that happened, sometimes it didn't. I have tried various browsers and they all gave me that behavior at times, so it wasn't browser specific, it was the site.

[lapushka]

It's been known for a while to be the site, so it seems a bit silly to start blaming browsers and OSs. :)

[ravenreed]

I am not blaming any browsers. There can be incompatibilities with any website and certain browsers, for what ever reason. This isn't the firs time that swapping browsers has been the only way to get a site to load properly for me. I am just reporting what worked for me so others might be able to order. It was pretty clear. Repeatedly loading the site on Firefox gave me errors for two hours. I pop over to EI and it loaded right away. I closed up everything, shut down my computer. Went to run errands. Tried FF again and got the same errors. Went back to IE and the site was fully loaded again. So swap browsers, don't swap, IDC. However, I am not the only one who had success by swapping.

[cutekitty]

Seriously that's the most poorly designed website I have ever seen :disgust:

[Johannah]

I'm looking forward to see action pics of the blue leaf festive :D

[Valkyriejae]

I adore the bead colours for the Montana, but I'm not sold on the centerpiece. It's too much metal, and not enough blue for me. I would love to have seen something like an enameled cornflower (which google has informed me is actually what I thought and not really cornflower, but flax.) Or possible a blue sky with a sun or something like that. This one just feels too blah for the lovely colour.
Oh, or the hues of blues centerpiece. How I miss the days when they would swap out the center for you...

[two_wheels]

Yep I was having safari repeatedly fail to load the storefront (showing only one clip) at the same time as the site working in chrome. Sites break in a browser-specific way all the time. Not OS as far as I know, but that's why I couldn't use IE.

Aaaanyway. Looking forward to action pics of everyone's pretties!

[Nebulae]

Just bought the gold band (it will match so nicely with my tree of life!), and a pair of copper rose you-pins slipped into my cart as well ;)

If it weren't for this thread, I wouldn't have known about the sale.. never got an e-mail!

Even though I like the new styles with the tubing I didn't feel they were enough 'me', so I didn't get any of those.

[KittyBird]

Tracking says that my clip arrived in Oslo yesterday, so it'll probably get here today or tomorrow. Can't wait! :popcorn:

[lazuliblue]

I didn't get anything in the end. By the time I go back from being out the sale had nearly ended, it was past midnight here and I didn't want to try to get the site to work! As two_wheels says, I am looking forward to seeing people's clips! I might still get the Montana clip.

[eadwine]

Two out of three orders will be here tomorrow :)

:popcorn::popcorn: did you buy the new festive leaf?

[eadwine]

Nope. I got tawny, rays of sunshine, montana, night owl and paw print.

[snowbear1005]

These are beautiful. Where do you buy them? I can't find a website that isn't a regional consultant and I can't find any of those close to me!

I got my Montana's today too - it is one of my very favorite Flexi's EVER. I LOVE this thing!!

I may have to order a medium too. :p (I got mini for half-ups and small for whenever I"m able to bun again, and for French twists.).

About how many do you have; are they your sole 'go to' hair toy?

...37... :couch:

Two of those are small ones though, XS and S, I need to see if I can find a way to wear them :)

Are they your MAIN hair toy...or do you use/collect sticks and forks extensively as well?

[eadwine]

At least it is a collection built up over the years *giggle* I couldn't believe it.. I thought I was still in the 20s. Mind, that is without the new ones counted.. dear lord.

I have been wearing a different one each day lately, trying to go through all. I wear them for work as they are so practical, but even though I haven't been able to for over a month (yay knee injury) I have been trying to keep that one a day thing going.

Ahh flip it, I wear these things all the time save for in bed :lol:

Hey...I think it's great you get use out of each one ~ enjoy :thumbsup:


Aside from the expensive shops (TT) etc...I have a pretty nice selection of toys from the favorite shops IMHO) ;)
They are a variety of colors/styles that I collected as I grew my hair out the past 2 years.
I am very happy to choose a new toy each day and try a new style etc; the smaller toys I now use for half ups.
Nothing collects dust...and each one is used at some point during the year :)

*I go to Church once a week and food shopping...that's it; so I bling it up for the JOY of it...for ME! :D lol

Gotta love being so appreciated! If all goes well I should be in starting next week, working half days, and if that goes well back to my full schedule again the week after. Love my job, definitely hated being sick and all that comes with that, bah.

And yes, especially for the holidays I usually grab a nice flexi and dress that up with something fun, just like last Christmas :D

Home/Visiting Nursing was the highlight of my career....I LOVED it!

[eadwine]

For me it's not the nursing part that I do, but the home care. Helping out around the house. Thank goodness I am in that area, because with the cutbacks the care part now means: washdrybye. I am there for three hours, so enough time to really build a bond.



Yep Lapushka.. it's baaaaad :lol:

[KittyBird]

Tawny is here! It's a gorgeous clip, except for one little thing that bugs the heck out of me. The turquoise in the centerpiece is not actually in the center! At first I thought my clip was defective, but I looked at the official picture on lillarose, and it looks like pretty much all the clips have the turquoise slightly off-center. Why on earth would they do that? It can't be that hard to make a somewhat symmetrical centerpiece, can it? :mad:
</rant>
All in all, I really like the clip and I think it goes well with my hennaed hair. I just have to try my best to not look too closely at the centerpiece.

</rant>
All in all, I really like the clip and I think it goes well with my hennaed hair. I just have to try my best to not look too closely at the centerpiece.

I didn't notice it until you mentioned it, but can understand your being upset now that you do know it is off.
Did you contact them?

Hm. That is going to bother me too. I wish I had noticed before I ordered it. I have a Tree of Life that is one bead off and it bugs me no end. Sadly, I didn't notice it until it was too late to return it.
That's too bad :(
I ran off to check the one I just got :p it is fine (whew).

Oh well, look at it as a quirky charm.You always have the greatest attitude :thumbsup:

LOL Thanks :)

I won't be going that far down the line (I don't think) ;)

[eadwine]

Thanks for the compliments!

I actually check each flexi these days before taking it out of the wrapper. I want to make sure mine is even since I heard about that flaw one time.

[DollyDagger]

LOL Thanks :)

I won't be going that far down the line (I don't think) ;)

You never know ...:wink:

*poke* Fess up.. now! ;)

Errr...59.... Shhh....

[Groovy Granny]

You never know ...:wink:
I know ~ that seems to be the trend....going beyond goals lol
We'll see what next year brings; I'll be teasing at hip cuz it is so close anyway :D

[AlyBlu]

The Tawny and Montana look awesome! I kinda like that it is off center, but I like the weird quirks.

Mine should be here today!

[Johannah]

Uhmm.. lemme go count...

...37... :couch:

Two of those are small ones though, XS and S, I need to see if I can find a way to wear them :)

Eadwine, I'm proud of you. lol :applause

I'm waiting for a photograph of all 37 in one picture, kay? :p

[Scarlet_Heart]

I would never have noticed that, kittybird. I think it looks beautiful against your hair color.

Here's the simple gold. Not the greatest action shot, but I'm really happy with it. I see myself wearing it a lot because I wear yellow gold jewelry.

Tawny is here! It's a gorgeous clip, except for one little thing that bugs the heck out of me. The turquoise in the centerpiece is not actually in the center! At first I thought my clip was defective, but I looked at the official picture on lillarose, and it looks like pretty much all the clips have the turquoise slightly off-center. Why on earth would they do that? It can't be that hard to make a somewhat symmetrical centerpiece, can it? :mad:

Oh it looks stunning!!

[KittyBird]

Oh man.. that is the first thing I noticed as well in your picture.. dang.. it looks like they aligned it with the sides of one outer leaf. >.<


It is beautiful otherwise though, looks great in your hair :)


But yeah I hear you loud and clear!



Lapushka: *blush*
Thank you! Yeah, I think that's what they've done. I don't get why. :shrug: I'm looking forward to seeing pictures of yours when it arrives, I hope it'll be more centered than mine :)


Hm. That is going to bother me too. I wish I had noticed before I ordered it. I have a Tree of Life that is one bead off and it bugs me no end. Sadly, I didn't notice it until it was too late to return it.
I'm not bothered by minor flaws, but bigger ones, like this one or a missing bead, drive me nuts! At least I can't see it when I'm wearing the clip, so I'll just try to not think about it. I'm certainly glad I got it on sale, because paying full price for a clip with a wonky centerpiece would make me very annoyed and frustrated.


Stunning! This one was my fave of the new ones. That's funny about the centerpiece being askew. Oh well, look at it as a quirky charm.
Thank you, thinking of it like that helps a lot. I'm sure people around me won't even notice it.


I didn't notice it until you mentioned it, but can understand your being upset now that you do know it is off.
Did you contact them?

No, not sure if I will. I'll wait and see if the other tawny clips are as wonky as mine. It does look like it's supposed to be that way, judging by the picture on lillarose.

ETA. Thank you, Scarlet_Heart and Johannah!
The simple band gold looks beautiful, I'm considering buying one. Maybe when my next paycheck arrives.

[eadwine]

Errr...59.... Shhh....
:lol: Wow :D


Eadwine, I'm proud of you. lol :applause

I'm waiting for a photograph of all 37 in one picture, kay? :p
I can do that sometime, sure :) I'll make a pic when all the young'uns are here as well :)

If all goes the way it should go it should be here tomorrow.. the two orders arrived in the country on the same day after all.

[Johannah]

I can do that sometime, sure :) I'll make a pic when all the young'uns are here as well :)

I bet that picture will be one big peace of art ;) Can't wait, ha!

[Nebulae]

My order finally shipped! It probably won't make it before the weekend anymore.. though I'm hoping for another freakishly fast delivery :D

[lazuliblue]

I have to say, even if the Tawny clip may be a little bit off-centre, I really like it!

[missblueeyes]

I'd be a big fan of the Tawny clip if the centerpiece wouldn't be off-center! That's bothering me more than I'd admit.
I do happen to love the Montana clip, though. I saw action pics just a moment ago and now I need it. :S

[two_wheels]

Hmm 5 leaves on top of 6 background leaves was never going to be ideal.... but I still love it :)

[eadwine]

My new clip, tawny, and something that snuck itself in my hair while braiding hahaha

http://i1145.photobucket.com/albums/o518/eadwine/Haarspul/tawnys.jpg


I am not as bothered as I thought it was.. could be the direction toward its "offness", dunno. I have written Steve an email asking why the 5leaf isn't centered. We'll see.

I actually thought that was gray hair, and was almost celebrating for you. Haha! :lol:
Pretty clip, pretty updo!

[eadwine]

I have them, like maybe three or so that I have found so far, but not there in the braid part :lol: That bit is all full blown henna still. Outgrown bit is about 4-5 cm I think.

The grays are sparkly silvers, so we'll see how that is going to progress in time :) But they are the reason I am growing the henna out now. FINALLY getting some grays at age 42, and I always knew I wanted to go gray gradually, not with a clear line, hence :)

[lazuliblue]

Oh wow eadwine, the tawny clip looks gorgeous in your hair!! I and wants the Montana but seeing the action shots I really like the tawny.

[eadwine]

Thanks Lazuliblue :D

[TrapperCreekD]

Loving the new designs! I was *this* close to caving and getting something during the sale but the Sea Hibiscus was sold out. Saving me from myself, really! I'm really on the fence about this month's FOTM. My Outlander-loving heart loves the purple and thistle idea, but... the centerpiece doesn't make it a "wow, I must have this right this minute", though it could easily grow on me. :shrug:

On your clip we really have to look for it!
If we didn't know there was a problem with others, we most likely would miss is altogether!

LOL at the cat hair :)

Beautiful hair pic ......as usual :thumbsup:

[AlyBlu]

Eadwine absolutely gorgeous.

I got this months flexi. I will try and get some got pics of it. I am really happy with it.

[eadwine]

thanks groovy granny and alyblu! :D

[Gabriel]

I got a couple of flexis in the sale. The snowflake and I tried the new style turtle flexi. Both megas/XXL. Here's a pic, since I always appreciate browsing pictures here in this thread myself. It's the only way I've ever really been inspired to try a flexi besides seeing them in real life before. You all should really get a commission because I'm sure they sell better based on this thread than in their online website.

And for comparison, the top three are megas/XXL and the bottom is an XL.

[eadwine]

Lillarose should TOTALLY put that turtle on a regular flexi. I bet it would sell like crazy. It looks a lot better in your picture!

[Wosie]

On my (gee, I can't remember the name of it anymore, what's happened to the flexi geek that is me?!)... Autumn Leaf? No, Festive Fallen Leaf, the centrepiece is off as well and I bought it a long time ago. It was the first thing that came into my mind as I lay my eyes upon it. ;( I love the design, but I still don't feel like wearing it often as it looks rather unbalanced. I think this design looks its very best when one of the petals of the middle flower is pointed upwards.

As in this lovely picture:

Festive Fallen Leaf http://i39.tinypic.com/jq0y10.jpg

I'm a perfectionist (which is quite irksome [!]) and thus I seldom pick flexis where centrepieces can look quite different from piece to piece anymore... :/

[lazuliblue]

The turtle does look really nice Gabriel! And I agree, this thread inspired me to wear my flexis more, I tend to get stuck in a rut of just wearing hair sticks but to me flexis look so pretty, and so I have worn mine quite a bit more recently and enjoyed it. I told myself I wouldn't buy another flexi until I wore the ones I have a bit more (which I have now done :D)

I can't understand why they wouldn't centre the little flower so that the petal is pointing up Wosie it just makes more sense to do it that way. Ah well!

[eadwine]

Why don't you have it then?? It's gorgeous!

[Johannah]

I'll make it easy for you; get both! ;) I already have it in XXL, but I want one or two in XS for halfups.

[Gabriel]

Thanks, it was a bit difficult to photograph. I think they had a plain little silver turtle before? I like that in the mega size it is larger to look more balanced.

Every time I see the snowflake I'm like: I NEED IT. NOW. I love that one so much!

That's what happened to me every time I saw it here. I have to say it's much prettier in real life too. I agree with everyone, get the Precious!

[parkmikii]

They finally added my country to the list :D
Time to keep some more money because I want too many flexies XD
Also, for ii hip length hair an XL should be okay, right? I have no idea about the size I will need so I am asking as I gave seen that you girls gave quite a big collection.

I have ii hair and I used an XL clip since hitting waist or so.

And Grabiel I'll definitely buy the flexi, when I have money :lol:

[eadwine]

I am ii as well, no layers and beyond waist, approaching tailbone, and I use an M and an L. The M is more snug so better for working. XL will fall right out of my hair.

[missblueeyes]

I'm an ii (8cm - ii has a wide range) and I could use both, L and XL. L for LWB and other centerheld buns and XL for cinnamon buns.

Thank you, I too am in the 8 cm range, I guess I will wait until the next sale and get an xl first to see how secure it will be. Honestly there would be no problem if it is a bit large as I plan to keep growing, so I think it will fit later :)

[Johannah]

My hair circumference is 3.9" by the way, so I'm almost iii. If that makes a difference for your decision :)

[eadwine]

I am more in the middle if I recall correctly. I would go for an L to start with.

[Johannah]

I am more in the middle if I recall correctly. I would go for an L to start with.

I was thinking the same thing. If it doesn't work for a normal bun, it will go with a LWB or nautilus :)

[parkmikii]

Oh, I understand, I guess I might go for a large then after all as my buns aren't too big and my bunning skills are pretty limited. The ones I wear the most are lwb and nautilus, although nautilus is pretty much my to go hairstyle lately..
Thank you for the advice :)

[ravenreed]

I have a pair of the silver dragonflies in small just so I can have matching double buns. I also use a small as a ponyholder and for half up buns. I don't know if that helps at all...


Because I can't decide if I want an XL or an XS... I'm having this dilemma for over a year now. :lol:

[ravenreed]

The Southwest is already sold out in XL. :rant: I may order a L because I think I could use it in a modified comet bun, which is actually one of my favorite styles. I love being able to show off a little length while most of my hair is still up safe.

[Johannah]

I have a pair of the silver dragonflies in small just so I can have matching double buns. I also use a small as a ponyholder and for half up buns. I don't know if that helps at all...

I want to wear my hair down when I reach my goal, and because I'm growing out my bangs I need some flexi's for half-ups so it's not in my face. I use an XS for half ups (no buns, just putting my grown out bangs to the back). But now you're talking about half up buns... Never thought of that actually. If my bangs are some inches longer I'll probably be able to do this and I think it looks really nice. Yeah, I might go for an S instead of XS next time I'm buying flexi's. Thank you!

You have a reddish tone in your hair, so coppery colored flexi's suit your hair very well! I like them for my (golden blonde) hair color as well :)

[ravenreed]

I really like this design. My hair wouldn't hang straight for my modified comet bun. Oh well.

Pretty ravenreed!

That flexi is one that kept catching my eye yesterday at a consultant's table I got to see yesterday. So many flexis, so little time! I meant to snap a picture for everyone but she showed up late, and was barely unpacked, and I only managed to stop by on my way home from errands but before a thunder-storm shut everything down.

In a few months a different consultant will be out I think and maybe I can see some more flexis.

[AlyBlu]

Gorgeous photos ladies!

Wearing my turtle today, love it.

Xxl turtle, I wanted the bigger center peice

[DollyDagger]

Really nice selections allyblu..that turtles just adorable! Great shots.

ravenreed...its gorgeous in your hair. Love that one!

Thnx for sharing your pics !

[eadwine]

Remember I asked about swimming with a flexi? Turns out the pool is not a normal chlorinated pool but one that uses salt. I have done some reading and it says that metals can be affected by this technique used, so I guess I will not be swimming with a flexi-8 after all, probably just a ponytail that is braided. All I can think about otherwise are hair sticks, but they are by far not as secure. Ahhh a braided pony will work ;) :)

[eadwine]

I love the turtle as well, I hope they will start doing customs again, that one on a regular flexi.. niiiice!

[DollyDagger]

^ Really! that turtle medallion is so damm cute..,,i love him!

I am really happy with the turtle. It seemed like the xxl was the only one that was this large, looking at their promo pic. I might try a dmaller one but I really like this one.

Gold Simple Band in large paired with a mini tree of life. Wanted to have this combo ever since I got the tree of life in the first place, finally they made a gold simple band :D
(didn't really put any energy into making this look good, it's time to wash today :o )

Copper Rose you-pins in a hasty sticky-outy cinnabun.. seriously though, I have such a hard time getting cinnabuns to stay, if I do it right I can make it sturdy enough with two spin pins. I'm fairly confident I could wear just one of these you-pins and it will stay put! Just gotta make sure the bun is wide enough to cover the pins.. puny bun problems :p

Forgive the crappy photos, taken with a good camera but edited and resized on a free app on my tablet apparently kills any quality there was.. sigh. At least I'm posting pics now :p

[parkmikii]

They came! :joy:

Gold Simple Band in large paired with a mini tree of life. Wanted to have this combo ever since I got the tree of life in the first place, finally they made a gold simple band :D
(didn't really put any energy into making this look good, it's time to wash today :o )

Those are lovely! I really like how the pins look as well :)

[AlyBlu]

Gorgeous! Those u pins are stunning!

[cat11]

wow- love that 2 size flexi bun!!

http://i62.tinypic.com/kcgz9h.jpg
here's an action shot of lovely circle green iris :) I've been doing this lwb pony variation bun I've been calling the "frame bun" in my head all the time lately, sometimes with the wrapped or framing part braided, sometimes not.

[Nebulae]

Thank you parkmikii, AlyBlu and cat11! :)

cat11, I was about to say "what a lovely circle green!" then I realised that is it's name :lol:

[Jukebox]

Hi all! Newbie here. I love the Flexis -- but I can't get them to stay when I try to wear them over a bun. When I've tried, I've ponytailed my hair, braided it, coiled it around, and tried to capture the whole bun inside a Flexi, with the stick part going through the ponytail near my scalp to anchor everything. The Flexi inevitably slips up or down and the braid falls free. What am I missing?

The photos on this page are inspiring me to try it with an infinity bun. Maybe that's what I'm missing. :)

[AlyBlu]

Jukebox, It sounds like you are in a too large size

[eadwine]

It sounds indeed like your flexi is two sizes two large.

[rags]

You could be in too large of a size - or you could just have really slippery hair and since you're using it as a bun cage, that allows the hair to escape. Try it in an infinity or a LWB - something centerheld. I find those work MUCH better for me when my hair is slip - sliding out of everything.

[Jukebox]

Thanks! I do have smaller Flexis around here (so many Flexis... I have a Flexi dependency problem). I'll give it a try with a smaller size.

[cat11]

Thanks, Nebulae :) That's preety funny- it is a very fitting name. No nonsense!

Jukebox, I agree it sounds like it could be too large, but flexis do have a learning curve as well. it took me a long time to get use to doing a bun with them, for awhile I just did twists or ponytails or smaller things. Maybe for whatever reason the tail isn't getting stuck inside the flexi and so it just unravels. I usually don't try to do windy buns like cinnabuns or braided cinnabuns with flexis, it sounds tricky- like the others said, LWB and the disc bun work well, also knot buns and lwb ponytails. Maybe a nautilus, but I haven't gotten a nautilus to work on my hair yet so I'm not sure. But it seems like it could.

[eadwine]

The nautilus can, I have been doing it for years wearing a flexi :)

[AlyBlu]

I cage my cinnabun with no problem and learned how to do the nautilus with a smaller size

[lalepepper]

Just ordered the Keltic Lore in XL, hoping to do some braided updos and try some new styles as well.

[ravenreed]

My go to bun is a nautilus and it holds just fine with a flexi. I don't completely enclose it, but catch most of it so it is secure. If I try to wrap it around the bun completely, I end up with an oblong bun!

[lillielil]

My first flexis arrived today. They are so pretty! I got a "lovely circle" and a "freestyle tiara" both in medium. I think they might be too big, though. I tried them out on a fast french twist and felt like it wasn't holding correctly. I'll have to play around some and see if I can get them to work.

[eadwine]

Holding a french twist with a flexi usually requires a smaller flexi. Try a nautilus bun, I am sure that one will work. :)

[JadedByEntropy]

I placed an order for my 1st flexi 8 and it created an account for me but there is no order history...did it not take or should i wait?

and is there still a discount code active?

[eadwine]

Did you get an email confirming?

No more discount codes, sorry. There are often special offers with 10%-30% off and such.

[KittyBird]

Send them a message and they'll fix it for you. It happened to me once, and they took care of it pretty fast. :)

[Lisa Long4Life]

I really want one but I'm not sure what size to get.

Also - why are all the good hair toys/makers in the US? :P (the ones I've seen so far are anyway) *huff*

[two_wheels]

Furnival (https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/FurnivalsWorkshop) here in the UK and Senza Limiti (https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/senzalimiti) in Germany are excellent :)
There is also PerfumeCollectors (https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/PerfumeCollectors?ref=l2-shopheader-name) for acrylics but I haven't tried.

/derail
just to keep this post vaguely on-topic... Lilla Rose usually ship really quickly to the UK as long as you stay under the £15 customs limit. Like just over a week!

[AlyBlu]

Hey all-watch for email early-ish next week!!!

[AlyBlu]

The website has a great guide for helping you choose your size.

[eadwine]

Keeping my eyes open again! :D I hope it is what I hope it is! :lol:

[lazuliblue]

I think this is a new flexi! It's really cute :D

https://instagram.com/p/8GNWYKr1HU/?taken-by=to_do_good_things

Edit: I might have to get it, I think I will regret it if I don't!

[lalepepper]

Just got my first Flexi in the mail last night, and managed to get my hair up in to it this morning after some disappointment last night. I had been afraid it might be too big, but it's perfect for how I was looking to use it! It is so nice to get my hair up and off of my neck - it's been ages since I could do that. This one is the Keltic Lore in XL:

http://i.imgur.com/yssZRyY.jpg?1

[lazuliblue]

That looks wonderful lalepepper! The colours of the flexi look really lovely with your hair colour.

I'm quite excited about this jack o lantern flexi, although it might be a bit too expensive for me to wear it for just a few days a year.

[DreamSheep]

Apparently there is going to be an owl flexi for October... so tempting!

[Caitrìona]

My new flexis arrived a few weeks ago :D

[lazuliblue]

It is an owl flexi DreamSheep! (See Instagram link above). I really like it. But then again I like a lot of the flexis so that doesn't really help me...

Those flexis looks stunning in your hair Caitrìona.

[Theobroma]

I think this is a new flexi! It's really cute :D

That's adorable. And NOT SILVER! Bonus! :)

[AlyBlu]

OMG!!!!! New ones are coming! Seriously cool. And multiple different metals, colors! Way cool. Keep an eye out for that email! I am drooling already!

[lalepepper]

Very cute - I may have to get one myself!

[parkmikii]

Oh my gosh, that owl is so lovely! Now I'm torn between getting a ficcare or the owl flexi..

[eadwine]

Just get two, or depending on which size, three flexis for the one ficcare ;)

[eadwine]

First back of the head picture using a different camera. It was my mate's so this is.. kinda special I guess. Rest in peace my dearest friend, and hopefully I can get your camera figured out proper. Dang why did you want one with so many settings :brains: :lol:


Cameo flexi!

http://i1145.photobucket.com/albums/o518/eadwine/Haarspul/cameosm.jpg

[Tails]

Yay! It seems like the old FOTM "fall harvest of colours" is going to return! That is one of my all time favourites! :joy:

[eadwine]

Yes! That is great news :D

[lazuliblue]

Yay! It seems like the old FOTM "fall harvest of colours" is going to return! That is one of my all time favourites! :joy:

Oh wow, I was just thinking yesterday that I wish I had been around when that one came out!! Would be wonderful if they did release it again, it's so pretty.

Love the blues in that flexi Eadwine, it looks very elegant.

[eadwine]

Thanks Lazuliblue! :D I love it. Sure comes out much more detailed with the higher res pics :)

[Winter Fox]

I'll definitely buy the pumpkin and this owl flexi! I'm so in love with them :crush:

[parkmikii]

Just get two, or depending on which size, three flexis for the one ficcare ;)

Temping..its really hard to choose as I never had any flexi or ficcare until now :))
Well, one needs to start somewhere..

[eadwine]

I've had both, and I like the flexi better, simply because of the versatility, AND of course the price :)

[lapushka]

Pretty cameo, eadwine! Hope you get the camera sorted! :D

[eadwine]

Thanks Lapushka! It's clean now at least, that is half the journey :lol: It takes nice pictures in any case :)

[two_wheels]

I'm sorry about your friend eadwine. It looks like a promising camera- lots of nice detail in that photo.

[eadwine]

Canon PowerShot G10 it is :) And thank you. Life goes on, it's what he would have wanted :) He'll be laughing his head off that I am taking pics of the back of my head now :lol:

[AlyBlu]

Cameo looks lovely and it is nice you are honoring him by using his camera.

There are seven new flexis if I counted right. So there will be lots of new ones to choose from. I am so excited.

[two_wheels]

It is nice to have something passed on that connects you to someone. My car was my grandmother's, and I like to think of her chuckling at my escapades in it. So I know what you mean about your friend having a good giggle at your hair photos.

Seven new flexis! I'm not an owl fan so I thought I'd be missing this month's flexi fun but that makes me hopeful.

[eadwine]

Thanks you two :)

And SEVEN???? Oh wow.. I only know about three so far..

[Tails]

Here is a picture of them all (if the link works)

THE GREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN
I need a lie down

[DreamSheep]

The green and the owl aaahhh need want ahhh! :)

*words*

[eadwine]

Top left, center left, spider :D

Oh man, there goes the wallet. Again. :lol:

[KittyBird]

Will these be permanently in the shop, or are some limited edition?
I really want the autumn leaf one, the green one and the spider!

[lazuliblue]

The spider one is simply awesome!!

I'd like to know that too KittyBird. Am I right in thinking Eadwine that if you make separate orders they will post them separately and then there's no worry of customs charges?

[Theobroma]

Here is a picture of them all (if the link works)

https://instagram.com/p/8GUFpKlWv-/?tagged=lillarose

I seriously can't take my eyes off that owl! :crush:

The green one is lovely too, but it's a reprise of Ruby Bouquet in green/gold and since I already have Ruby Bouquet for that design and Flitter for the colour scheme, I probably won't get it. But the owl... ooooh! :D

Yups. Just make sure you check your country customs rules. It should state the value there and whether or not it includes the shipping fee.

[parkmikii]

Apparently the owl is the October fotm?
https://instagram.com/p/8JMzptKVXb/

[AlyBlu]

Some of them are limited edition. But I think three of them are permanent.

[AlyBlu]

The owl is the FOLM.

[JadedByEntropy]

oooh i want the small leafy one. thats sooo my style

[DollyDagger]

Really like the oak leaves (if that's what they are) the itsy bitsy spider and the tigerseye-looking owlette...was there a pumpkin? If so where's it at..lol I want to seeeeeeeeee it!!

[Alaska98]

Omg that spider! Must have it!

Oh my. LR website crashes again in 3... 2... 1... :S

[KittyBird]

Ugh.. Last time they had a sale, it took me around 5 hours to get the clip I wanted because the site was all kinds of f%#&ed up. I seriosuly hope they've done something about that since the last sale. :brickwall

[Theobroma]

Me too, but somehow I'm not optimistic... I get the impression it's their infrastructure provider that's the problem, and if they don't have direct access to the problem areas themselves then there may not be much they can do.

[Theobroma]

Got my owl! :crush:

But nine minutes into the sale, the site is already slowing to a crawl.

ETA: And our old friend the Firestorm error is making a comeback tool. :(

[KittyBird]

Oh boy.. Got the firestorm error already! This looks promising :rolleyes:

ETA. I take that back, I actually managed to buy the fall harvest in size small! They didn't have it in XXL, so I got one for half-ups instead.

[eadwine]

Olivia is just like the.. what is it called.. Ruby bouquet? Just in green :lol: Very pretty though!

Got that one, the fall harvest, the jack, and the spiders.

Yeah.. I know.

At least two were a gift! Oof ;)

[Theobroma]

I'm really liking Mercia as well. And Carmine, for that matter. But I have so many Flexis already...
