The Flexi-8 / Lilla Rose Thread

wow, eresh that pic looks straight out of a magazine!

I love the bee flexi so much, I have it in 2 sizes. those colors are my jam; i think it would be just as beautiful without the bee dangle but it adds that extra touch.

That bee flexi looks stunning on you, eresh!

Eresh, that flexi looks very beautiful in your hair! It really has very elegant autumn vibes

I was able to take a couple of flexi pics today, so here is Floressa! I'm not much into cutesy/ flowers, but I really like this design, despite I think it must look way better on very dark hair or blonde hair. I think musicalspoons was waiting for an action pic:

And here's one of my "unicorn flexis" in mega, a second hand teal flitter. I love the regular green flitter, but it's too gold for me, so I was in the hunt for this one (the old mauve one is very beautiful too, but I always prefer teal/blue)

Thank you

Great actionshots as always Milady!
I love the blue Flitter! (don't have it unfortunately)

Has anyone seen any Black Friday sale announcement yet?

**desisparkles** · November 17th, 2019, 11:43 AM

ooh Milady, I likey!

I think Floressa is elegant enough to wear to attend a wedding.

It looks great with your hair color, too!

Thank you eresh and desisparkles! I also think Floressa, among other flexis, is elegant enough to go to a big event or a wedding

No idea about the BF sales, but my 6th hairtoy sense says that it must start very soon

Bracing one handle on the floor so you just have to push down on the other can also make things easier, which is also easier with the larger sizes. But it was very easy to cut through a LR stick with my 18 inch ones.

That's basically what I meant but clearly failed in saying - the further the force from the pivot point, the greater the force exerted on the opposite side = more leverage

That's a good tip about bracing against the floor, thanks! I probably wouldn't have thought of it.

eresh the bee is lovely! I'm not keen on golden tones in my own hair generally (not sure why, now) but that is seriously cute. How on earth do you get a cinnabun to stay without basically bun caging it all within the flexi? It also looks somewhat loosely twisted; I am in awe that it stays up!

Milady yay it looks great!

I love the flitter too - I recall when they brought those two (blue and purple) out, I was so sad they would be too expensive with import fees. The colour is looooovely
