Oh my gosh! Flexi-8!

How do I love thee? I CAN'T count the ways!

These things are AWESOME. Mine finally came in the mail today, a medium and a large. The Medium is quite tight on a low ponytail (I have hair that's around 5 inches in circumference, despite being babyfine) but perfect for half-ups, and the Large is PHENOMENAL. This is the first time in my life I have had a french twist hold - no pulling, no pain, and I shook my head around like a metal guitarist without it budging. It's snug on the updos, despite my hair being short, so I will likely have to upgrade a size for french twists in the future, but these things are AMAZING.

I just had to gush and endorse, I have the worst luck with hairtoys due to my hair type and its current length. I am so completely over the moon finding a company that makes a product that looks dressy but is so easy to use and inexpensive too.

These get my full endorsement as someone with thick, heavy, wildly wavy and super slippery clb-lenth hair. BRILLIANT!

****** Adding photos ******

Okay, forgive any fuzziness, my arms were SHAKING from taking so many pictures above my head. I am a novice at this. Also forgive the messiness. It's 3 am here and all I did was fingercomb

For reference, I have bangs and layers, but with that factored in my ponytail is pretty much exactly 5 inches in circumference, though it's a bit poofier without oil.

I feel your joy, as I love them too.

Pictures?

Added pictures

My arms were seriously falling off by the end, I need more practice!

Those pictures are so nice, your hair and toys look awesome. Maybe it's time to start an album?

Hmm, I should, shouldn't I? I was planning on starting a blog, too, but I am still trying to figure out all the neato functions of this site.

But now, it's BEDTIME! My little girl has been sleeping through the night since she was a week old, you'd think I'd be sensible enough to actually enjoy the sleep instead of playing on the computer all night! This site is horribly addicting.

Thanks for sharing. This is helpful. We are nearly hair twins, so it is nice to see that a medium works for a half up. I wasn't sure if a small or a medium would do. My large barely holds all my hair though...I wish I could do a French twist.

Those look so great in your hair Arctic Mama - I especially like the gold!
Definitely encouraging me to look into purchasing these in the future, too.

Woohoo congratulations! These are just wonderful. I am going to get me a large too as I grew out of the medium and they are just great. Also the seller is wonderful to work with

Have fun with them!

Wow! Those look absolutely stunning in your hair - I don't think I've seen them look nicer!

I bought one as a birthday present for a friend and now I'd love to get some for myself

You nasty enabler, you!
