It's been a while since I ordered a Flexi, thought I already have enough flexiclips,....
But ordered the solana clip in XL anyway :D

I've been waiting for a sale! I shouldn't be spending much money but my large flexi really isn't fitting my go-to buns anymore, and I think I just need to splurge a bit and get the things I need. The size difference between the L-XL is usually a lot, so I'm a bit worried they might be too big. I guess we shall see... :)

I'm definitely getting that one with the leaf and a pinecone as soon as i get my paycheck. I think i'll get a M one, as SM seems slightly too small for peacock twists and/or buns on my hair. ^^

I actually really wanted to have this one and i am delighted to see it's been brought back ^^

Well, here's a flexi in my hair for the first time! Not sure if this qualifies as a French twist, but if not, let it be a Finntwist instead.

You could maybe do half-ups? Be advised that if you look on the site during the Black Friday sale you may find yourself buying some clips before January ;) though you could still keep them as a treat for then, if you have the patience to do so :)


I finally got to order the large size of a clip I have in medium (that's basically useless now), yay! It was out of stock for so long but when it came back in stock I couldn't bear to pay full price for it, not when they have such frequent sales on. It was one with 20% off this time, double yay!

We shall see, we shall see;)
I don't know what I can do with my hair. I'm just slightly past shoulders and on top of that I'm growing out layers. Not a pretty scenario for a decent updo.
If I do order something I will probably start with size XS ...my ponytail has around 6-7 cm in circumference.
Grow, hair, grow!;)

Ohhhhh! Love that you’ve got an inside track. That’s awesome:crush:

I already had the maple, but I did pick up the little pumpkin dangle, and a Charlotte for good measure. I’ve been kind of obsessed with getting my hands on the exclusives lately, so I’ve been trolling Facebook and Instagram. It was nice to hop back on the official site during a good sale.

I ordered 6 new ones, all medium because I only have one medium and that is the one I tend to wear with my nautilus bun. I snagged the Skull, Charlotte, Maple, Solana, Bat, and Honey Bee.

I broke it up into two orders so I could get two U pins. :smirk: Picked the Hawaiian Flower and Soaring.

So excited to see my hair toy collection starting to take shape!

My current collection consists of five Flexi's I bought at a fair:
three smalls; Black Trinity, Sable, Knot
one medium; Tiger Lilly
one large; Black Trinity

I'm waiting for action shots then. This is one of the clips that I might buy when I see photographs other than the official ones. I wish it was just the big amber circle (I'd buy it immediately then) without the sun rays, but if it looks amazing as a whole I might ignore the fact that I don't like the sun rays themselves so much.
The official photos are neat and perfect and all, but in a way, Flexis appeal more to me when I see action shots here :)

Here it is in a very messy bun.

That's great, Booky, and very apt for your stickless wonders! :bowtome:

I'm also a lover of display (and grabability) when it comes to my flexis. The metal ones used to hang on a clothes hanger:

https://i.imgur.com/1pQ3azW.jpg

But then I transferred the bigger ones onto the rails of the top rack of a repurposed wonky/broken clothes airing rack:

https://i.imgur.com/0imPn1h.jpg

Other views of rack:

https://i.imgur.com/aW3xxUx.jpg

The small flexis are in a multi-level tackle box, and my leather 8s are in a cutlery tray with the acrylic, wooden and metal sticks they play with.

My mouth just literally fell open..

It's a lot. I have 2 Flexis (one XS which i can begin to wear now and one which is a bit bigger, for when my hair has regained more of its length).

I like your taste though, and your hair :) It gives me something to hope for and to look forward to.

:rollin: I’m here! I’m actually wearing my dragon today (large) with an ONN oval. The size is perfect for the pairing.

https://i.imgur.com/uzQiM33.jpg

As to modding, it’s pretty simple. Slide the flexi to the far end (the thick end) of the stick, to keep it out of the danger zone. I use heavy duty wire cutters to cut a hole in the thin portion of the stick. You can either do this twice (so there’s a gap to slide the flexi out) or do it once and then torque the stick so there’s a gap.

I don’t have any flexis currently in need of dismemberment, but next time I do it I’ll make sure to take pictures. Hope that helps! :flower:

Booky, that cow skull is awesome.

Booky, Eadwine, Milady, great action shots. I have such a horrible time trying to take action shots. I guess I need to practice more.... :boohoo:

That's nice of your DH. I've been setting the timer and attempting to stand in the right place. :ohmy: I should look into setting up a remote trigger.

Thank-you! My 'Starter Kit' was 1 large, 1 medium, and 3 small because I had never worn them before and wanted to be able to experiment at home and figure out what works best for what kind of style. I found the medium works best with my hair up in a nautilus bun(which is the only one I can successfully do right now :p) and the smalls are perfect for ponytails. Maybe as I get more advanced with my hair dos I'll invest in some other sizes, but for now I believe I will stick to mostly mediums.

I'm excited to have the dilemma of what to wear now! I've recently found myself glaring at my old standard hair claw before grudgingly putting it in my hair because I didn't want to wear the same toy several days in a row anymore. And I used to wear the same claw until it broke! :lala: Which could of been up to a couple months.....

I can't decide if I want to get a flexi (or two) on Black Friday this year. I did get a few pins last year adn they're great. My problem is that the last few times I've ordered I've gotten hit with big customs charges. The dumbest part is it's a $1 fee but the "we opened your package and want to rip you off fee" is like $15! It's painful, especially when my purchase is often less than that!

I think that box is aptly named. :applause:

Today I took a step in the direction of a permanent solution for my growing collection of flexi's. I went to the dollar store and bought an 11" X 14" frame and some adhesive hooks. With the way I have it set up I can fit 23 flexi's on it. I just need to figure out what kind of image to put in there now.

The leather ones? I'm safe! ;)

Me too.

And I've decided not to buy the Solana, after all, though the action shots made me waver and I had to think about it some more. I love the amber centrepiece, but I already have a big one in similar tones (the Honey Bee). The same goes for beads. I'm not too fond of the sun rays, and I already have similar beads, I would be buying the Solana for its centrepiece alone (which is not quite my cup of tea because of the rays)... but I have a similar one. So, the dispute is closed.

I'm waiting for the remaining two FOTMs of 2018 and then I'll calculate how many I bought and what proportion of the new Flexis I like. It's going to be a small per cent :D On the one hand, it's good for me financially. And I do have more than enough of them at this point. On the other, I'm still sad that a thing I like so much is slipping away.

I do agree on the life of the toys! I have some I can trace back to members no longer here, and I always think of them when I see them. I have a couple from some people who became friends in real life also. The stories the toys could tell!

I"m trying to keep only about 1/4 or less of my collection. That means lots more will eventually go up for sale, if I ever have energy again to do it. The only thing I've really whittled down appreciably so far is Ficcares - and I still have over a dozen of those left to sell. One day maybe I will have the energy and flood the swap board. LOL.

I am all about the neutrals too....at least I was to begin with :lol: then the colors caught me in the acrylic sticks....and then these leathers :love:
I eventually went for some color and seasonal items with the larger beaded flexis.

My smalls hang on the side of a wicker basket I use for my forks and larger items; my larger flexis are with my other etsy 8's in velvet bags that came with barrettes.
They are not separated but still stay nice; there has been no damage touching each other.

Milady, have you tried making a bun with just a part of your hair (leaving some of the sections right above your neck hanging down, like a very disproportioned half-up) and then wrapping the loose hair around the bun? This way you should be able to use the modded Dragon to hold buns :)

I don't know what sizes to get for the new leather flexis D:

M is pony tail size for me, could work for half ups depending on the stick. L for the regular flexis is bun size for me. S for regular or XS for regular is usually good for half-ups. Regular S can also be for pony tails.

I tried an XXS solana the other day, and it was such a pain making it work for half-ups. I had to use so little hair.

XXS is so so small... For half ups I use XS or S (I took quite little hair for it, just the "fringe" or less). Dunno about the leather, what do you want them for? Half ups or buns?


And... i received the Dragon flexi AND Tombstone!!! I'm SO happy with them, ESP with Tombstone, that's my fav flexi ever! I even catched the U pins, I'm over the moon with this design. So happy I could snag it!

Ok, don't be alarmed as it's not my natural texture but my 4th day hair (tomorrow is wash day) after having it bunned since day 1. But I really want to share some action shots of them! :D I just unbunned for the action shots without even combing lol

I literally have leather flexis in every size because the size I need varies depending on what hairtoy I'm using them with. I reach for a small most often because that's what works best for most of my sticks but, for example, today I'm wearing an xl because that's what works with this fork.

Well, that's something you don't see every day. Nice snag, Booky, (and Milady).



Thank you! :smooch: I hope your journey is full of fun and yum (hairtoys, hairdos, styles, colours... er, everything!) stuff!

Thank you so much :smooch:

I'm looking forward for some new firsts like a simple full braid, a bun, my mane covering my shoulders again.. *excited*
It was good to try a short hairstyle, see if it makes me happy. Now I know that I am more comfortable with longer hair (every length from a lob down will be good) and I don't need to question it ever again :)

I am also looking forward to see more of my own (complex and not easy to describe) colour, and both highlights from the sun and grey are welcome as they will appear :bowtome:
I'll skip the artificial colours, no matter what. They never made my happy. It is very nice to see more people here celebrating their natural state :)


Centerpieces are the same size arent they? In every flexi size.

Here are the group pics:

First group, mini's, an XS and S some custom designs here

I just ordered my very first Lilla Rose flexi-8! I cannot wait for it to arrive! 🤗🤗🤗
I ordered mine a week ago. I have no idea how long it will take... But I don't expect it earlier than in 2-3 weeks. I waited up to 6 weeks once for an item shipped from US. Well. In the meantime my hair will grow a little bit longer:D

My own flexis have shipped four days ago. They should come by the end of next week. Can't wait.

I got the maple one, the paw print one and .... a nice dark blue one which name i forgot, in Medium and a green dragonfly in Xs for small sectioned half ups.

I also got one free U pin with my purchase. I chose the brassy rose pin.

With my last order, I chose as a reward the soaring U-pins. I was going to pick other set, but before placing the order I realized that those would be just perfect with the metal butterfly fork that my mother gave me some months ago. Today we had a familiar meal and I went like this, my mother totally loved it :)

So this might be a weird question, but how do you find out about sales? Uh, bizarrely enough, I'm actually a sales associate for them, I joined last year when my friend posted a flexi I liked, and I said, "I'm going to buy a lot of these." She suggested I join through her so I could get the discount, and so I did. Then I've spent the last year wearing the ones I bought, and forgot all about having the discount. A couple nights ago I decided I wanted a few more, so I went back on the website. I had to search through my mail to find my account information to log in, and was surprised to realize when I did the search that I'd never once gotten an email from them since the day I signed up. Nothing! No sales information as either a customer or a rep. For the last 11 months. Isn't that odd?

Anyway, it bummed me out a bit because I realized there were several new styles (and probably have been many this year) that I missed because I didn't know they existed. I checked my subscriptions and I'm supposed to be getting news and such. Anyone else have this problem? Are there just no sales announcements? I already have enough online stuff I check, I don't want to have to check the website every day. I did just realize that there's an entire Facebook group for reps, so I joined that. Maybe that will help me get the notices for the good stuff.

This is a very new feature. In 2015, when Aderyn wrote the post you quote, it was impossible to open new tabs on the LR website. It's only been possible for a few months, it came with the new website design. I remember it well because it was irritating me as well.

I just follow their official Facebook page and my stylist's page (as two of the literally 5 ones I follow on Facebook). Their e-mail reaches me, but it's usually relatively late. I get it a day before the sale or on the day it begins. Facebook is faster. Stylists' fangapes are usually even faster than the official one. So just find a stylist who is active and posts everything up to date and like them on Facebook :) I know it will be one more thing to follow/check online, but it's shouldn't be too bothersome.

I received my flexis in the mail yesterday! I did a couple messy buns to see how the XLs fit, and they're staying in just fine! I thought the celtic would be the biggest, but it ended up fitting the smallest of the three XLs I got.

I'm quite enjoying the celtic knot one, it feels so much lighter in my hair than any of my other flexis. It's definitely a plus when I have fine hair and am prone to headaches with buns.

I also quickly stuck in the free U-pins I got last night, and they surprisingly held better than I thought they would. I may be using these more than I thought! Not sure what kind of buns to make with them though... I'm bad at cinnabuns. :p

Guys! FOTMs for both November and December have been announced. They will be available since November 1st. There you go (https://www.facebook.com/LillaRoseTracyBlough/posts/1912117168904328?__xts__[0]=68.ARABkc7H5w-2uz0XskkSmUIN3zNQ-n1-NLsWkJn77sT8zAn9156ySZi0RcwaowsVzAzFlK25CGLDlJvGcq HbUrLNXa_J7UG4mfePGBE85z4F_QRIvE5lZyVcnI_bcPiOfSPG MZzYBRtCjdROwn0ctwyOKwInbJ2LabKXplCHjUvYJqIoW_fPJi Pe4nwVCbtYLOCOgRDfy2jz9XjJo-NkTiEQ3_nojExkdGmvb1_AFFuJEFGtUUIS-aYLlQ&__tn__=-R).

I'm safe. I like the way the star one looks quite a lot, but I know I wouldn't wear it much.

So I can officially say that in 2018, I bought 1 out of the 12 FOTMs. And, to be more precise, one Flexi out of all the new releases – FOTMs and "general" new releases. (I bought 2 old ones: a Vanessa off of eBay, and an Aviva and a Celtic Cross to have them modified into an Aviva centrepiece on the Celtic Cross base. I sold the other modded Flexi, the one made of "spare" parts, so I don't count it as the third purchased one, since I didn't keep it.)

MusicalSpoons
October 26th, 2018, 04:26 PM
I don't often like FOTMs (and they're too expensive to buy a usable size anyway :shakes fist at customs charges: ) but that star one is quite different - it's kind of bling but in a classy, understated way. Black Friday would have to bring the price down a lot though for me to be able to consider it.

Stray_mind

Will have to figure out how to take care of it as it grows longer. Last time it was around APL it was very prone to knotting. Also: not sure about the name of my colour, how one would call this texture and if I have thick hair or many or just medium thickness and number of hairs?

Looks like medium brown to me. You type your hair after washing it and letting it air dry with as little touching as possible. So far it Does look like you have some body wave at least, so i think you could be a 1C or 1c/2a type. It might get more wavy as it grows out though. Was it Wavy when you were at APL? The thickness is determined by measuring your ponytail circumference. I'd say you are at least medium thickness, but hard to say. :)

Colour I have no idea but I'd say your texture looks like it could be edging towards spirals at the end, which would put you at 2b/2c. A proper hair-typing pic though is taken when you've washed and air-dried your hair without combing or manipulating it (even finger-combing) to see your hair's true texture :) but yes, the first post in that thread tells you everything about it.

Cannot believe the price LR wants to charge for the rose water they're going to sell. $18 for 2oz? 2oz is nothing. I get huge bottles at Marshalls for $6.

Those fees, this is why I make separate orders instead of buying everything in one order. ;)

The $4 in shipping is MUCH less than what I would have to pay for starters (13 euros) if taxes and such get added here. The 13 is the basic rate for even handling the thing, taxes and stuff get added onto that.

I have to say that Polish postal service might be slow (and messy at times), but it's relatively cheap. I just pay the $4, nothing more. It's the same with any other foreign shipment. I only pay the shipping cost that the seller listed. No taxes or fees unless the declared value of the items inside exceeds 150 euro. There is very little danger of that :D
But, on the other hand, LR shipping rate is miraculously low. When it comes to Etsy, for example, shipping from overseas usually costs about 15+ dollars, so I give up my shopping plans entirely, because the items are less expensive than the shipping. Or even if they aren't, 15+ dollars is a lot in PLN, so I hate the idea of paying so much anyway.

And I'm confused about the rose water as well. Where did that idea come from? I find it... odd.

The threshold for extra charges depends on each country's customs law. Different postal services charge different handling fees; here Royal Mail charge a flat rate of £8, which is fair enough for an order of high value, but when the actual customs/VAT charge is much less than that it's really annoying! The threshold here is £15, so the handling fee alone is more than half the item's actual value :rolleyes:

The international shipping thing is an odd one. It seems USPS *have* increased their generic international postage, and one Etsy seller explained that they won't give her the business rate, even though as a small business the loss of international customers hits her really hard. However in the USPS postage rates document, there is still the cheap option for a small item - I can't remember the specifics but I'll come back when I've dug it out again. I have to admit I am still confused as to why people don't use that option; maybe I missed something that specifies they can't, or maybe they're just worried it will be rejected from that category and go with the standard expensive option to be on the safe side. I don't know :confused:

Hung two new hangers for the Flexis. Hit a stupid stone in the gravel of the wall so the left bottom one is hanging a bit lopsided on the right side. These are all the flexis save for the one in my hair ;)

eadwine, you have over 80 clips, if I can see correctly (without counting doubles as two). I have 37. And yet we only have 10 or 11 in common! ;)

Weight, how they 'feel' like in real life? I like the vibe of the north star, but since it is more expensive and the compass rose seems very similar, I wonder if the difference is actually worth it. What do you think?

I have 94 in total. Only two are doubles.. so when I get rid of the doubles I'll have 92... that's insane. I thought I had about 50 or so.. hahaha.

The north star is definitely more delicate to look at (make sure all the crystals are present if you order that one, I had to return it because one was missing) than the compass rose (check if the center crystal is sitting level, that one had to be returned to get exchanged as well, oh no wait, I sold it to someone here ;) ), weight wise they are roughly the same. I also have the north star with green crystals and that one definitely takes the cake of the three ;)

Hehe! I’m glad you found a replacement supplier. It’s a brilliant way of storing them. Absolutely looks like it was made for flexis.

They are jewelry hangers, or scarves hangers. They usually come with a hanger so you can hang them on a rod, but I opted to remove that one and mounted it on the wall :)

Thank you :)
Yes, and girls on the photo thread also think it agrees with my hair colour. I had no idea how it will match when I ordered it, I just liked the hummingbird. But those pink beads somehow look good in my hennaed strands :) I have a few brighter streaks ( a little highlighting experiment from a year ago) and they always take in more henna and become more red.
I think I will be getting more hair toys in the future ;) what colours would you suggest?
I think orange, gold, amethyst and emerald would look good.

Am I the only one who has problems wearing Flexi's? I used to wear them more often. But I'd notice that the beads would regularly pull and break hair. Has anyone else noticed this? They are so cute, but I've put mine away because of the breakage I get :(

That is kinda sad. :(
I had a few hairs wrapped around the centerpiece and snapping while removing the flexi, but other than that, they are rather safe to wear for me.

AmaryllisRed
November 11th, 2018, 01:06 PM
Yeah I have to be really careful taking them out but as long as I am, I don't have any problems.
I just don't wear them as much as sticks because I feel like they're more "dressy" and I shouldn't wear them with just jeans or something.
Which is silly and I should probably get more. Haha

NO problem here with my fine silver...sorry to hear yours are snagging!

Seems to me there was a post about what they weigh...maybe someone remembers?

Recently C_Bookworm mentioned cutting off the arms and using her own sticks and THAT made all the difference for me!
It is the arm that has the weight, and my med/lg clips always slid so I barely wore them.
Now I LOVE to wear them and get more use from them because the sticks give me more colors options and an awesome hold!

My stylist hinted that Lilla Rose will be having an option along those lines in a few months....perhaps the option of attached arm or not ....and at a lower cost I imagine too :thumbsup:

So you may want to consider removing the arm too if it is too heavy...I did it to all my clips except the smalls and I am so happy I did :)

Which clips would be lightest? I now need a mega for a french twist, and I find the XL to be too heavy as it is.

eadwine

The one with non metal beads and small thin centerpieces.

The one with the wings for example is quite heavy, the tree of life is a lot lighter. Not weighed on the scales, just held them in my hand to compare.

The differences in weight are quite significant.

My 3 L clips weigh 27 grams and I have ones that are I'd say medium. I can imagine some lighter ones (Svelte line) and some heavier ones (some with bigger centrepieces). The ones I have are Flower stone-set with simple danglie in garnet red (it's old but you can still find pictures for reference), the Celtic interlace with vibrant emerald beads in antique gold and the Scroll work heart with mini heart accents.

I don't have more Ls, but maybe it will help you in a way to know the differences between light, medium weight and heavy clips in XL:
Lightest: Svelte line. They have small/medium centrepieces and no beads: 29g
Medium: clips with beads and medium centrepieces, like Violet (used to be called Violet Dreams): 40-42g
Heaviest: clips with massive centrepieces like Cherish or Cliona: 50g

eadwine has good suggestions. :) I got the limited celtic flexi in XL (#2593) and found it to be very light and comfortable, it felt lighter than my L rose beaded flexi and other 2 XLs.

From the pictures on lilla rose, it looks like the turtle, abby, celtic heart and southwest flexis are a similar style to my XL celtic flexi, so those ones may feel lighter in your hair as well? :)
