I havent always been kind to you!! hair pics
I just received my first Flexi-8s a couple of days ago (a small and a medium), and so far I'm disappointed. The quality is great and they are pretty, but I have not gotten them to work in my hair.
The small makes a very pretty half-up in my hair, but its fairly heavy and slooowly slides down in my slippery hair. Maybe it's too big?
The medium is too small to fit over a bun (although I had slightly better results after reading an earlier comment about using it like a hair stick - I will keep working at it) and all my attempts at a French twist look very sloppy. The Flexi-8 videos make it look so easy, and they have gotten such rave reviews here, so I'm surprised I'm having such a hard time. Maybe I should have gotten an extra small and a large.
Here's a pic. Sorry, no action shots yet. These are a small and medium, both in celtic cross.

@SweetPea88:
Which size you need for the half-up depends on how much hair you gather for it. If you take only small streaks I would recommend you a mini, if you take more size XS.
@Avalonna:
Use the M to hold the middle of a Nautilus bun. I use size L for that, but size M would do, too. In the article section there are instructions for the lazy wrap-bun, which you can secure with size M. What about a French twist? This style should also work with the M-flexi.

Sounds like you did get the wrong sizes for what you want to do with them. You probably need an extra small or a mini for a half up. (I think most people end up with extra small; I use minis, but I have baby fine thin hair).
They have great customer service though; I would exchange them if I didn't think they were going to work. They are both beautiful!

Thanks Monchhichi, I think XS sounds about right for a half-up.
