Hmmm. I'm trying to figure out how to put the picture in the post but I can't get it to work but it's in my album if anyone wants to see it before I figure this out.

I love your flexi! I really need to get a purple one! If you write to flexi, they will let you exchange your flexi for a different size.

I think it's very pretty, and your french twist is gorgeous! I think we all need more flexis!

I love everyone's Flexi pics. These are my current favorite hairtoy. I just love them. They work so well and are so beautiful.

A hint for EchoAudra and anyone else who needs a larger size hairtoy. I have found that if I have a hairtoy that is too small for my hair, I can sometimes make it work by creating a bun that is elongated and clasping the hairtoy over one end only. If I place it right and secure the ends of the hair, it will hold nicely. That way I can use more hairtoys!

That looks great wendyg.

Paper, such pretties.

Yeah Flexi-8s are great, they work and look pretty.

My Flexi-8s arrived today (shipped Tuesday last week, got them today

) and I'm in love. They're much prettier than they looked on the page. The medium ones are perfect for a bun (that holds! The awesomeness of this cannot adequately be put into words!) and the small and extra-small ones will be good for updos with just part of my hair in it. I definitely need to buy more of these later on. They're amazing, and I could always use a mini and a large as well

I know there SO pretty and best of all they work so well!

I think I need to get a flexi-8 too! I currently don't have anything that will hold a bun because I have 1 set of hair sticks, but they are cheapo plastic ones and my hair has too much slip

I guess I'd just use it for "tails up," ponys and half-ponys. Any suggestions?

At flexi8 - dot - com they have a page for sizing. How-to video's (I've never done up-do's so that was good for me!)

Lucky you! I've been looking at Quattro's on Ebay. Where do you all get your Flexi's? So far none on Ebay.
