The Flexi-8 / Lilla Rose Thread

**Rennire** · May 3rd, 2011, 11:38 AM

I find that the sizes run a little small too. I'm having a bit of a hard time making my bigger ones work for me but here are my new smaller ones:

Small (This one is so much prettier in person. The flash kind of kills it!)

Small (I think that this one is my favourite! I love sunflowers!)

I already want to buy more!

I have quite a collection of these with about 10 of them! The only problem I'm having is when I attempt to make a cinnamon bun with a large flexi I can't seem to keep my ends in the bun, do I have to pin them or is there a knack to this?

But dang. I have too much hair, even as a ii.

Have you tried a lazy wrap bun? I can almost get that to work with an L with my 27" iii hair (however I find its more comfortable with an XL), so it may work for you.

I hate the Lazy Wrap bun, but it was useful even before my massive shed. (I miss my 4.5" pony circumference but a large Flexi8 probably wouldn't hold a darn thing!)

It works. I was just surprised at the sizing.

Ah, sorry, I misinterpreted your comment it seems.

Thanks! Actually, in a ponytail made of twists is the best way to wear it to prevent snagging. Wearing it on loose hair causes more snags.

I wish I could make awesome twists in my hair like you do! Hmmm, maybe I can do something with braids, maybe?

I didn't give into the mother's day(?) free shipping (hooray!) but here is a picture of my other flexi-8 that I got this Easter... in an updo-fail that was not at all supposed to be a French twist, or anything
