Well, I think I've hit on possibly the best one of the year. :)
Styling my hair can be lots of fun, but also a frequent pain. Many days I just want to get it up and out of my face, but am wishing for a stylish alternative to a plain ponytail or an ugly plastic claw-clip. Of course, there are lots of lovely hair accessories floating around the various shops and stores, but how many of them are truly comfortable, practical, and pretty?
Say "hello" to the Flexi-8!!!
I was given the fabulous opportunity to try out this relatively "unheard of" product and review it for all of you here at AmandaBeth. At first, I was a bit of a skeptic. ("Ok, let's see if these things are really as great as they say they are." ;) But when the package arrived and I finally held the five, extremely well-made, gorgeously designed, flexible clips, I was pretty excited. Five minutes later and my mom was as thrilled as I was. Since then, it's just been a downward spiral of wearing a Flexi-8 in my hair almost every day, styling my siblings hair with them, lending one to the out-of-the-house sis, and bragging about them to my friends and family.
Honest-to-goodness, I love the Flexi-8 (and not just because they sent me some to review ;).
My favorite way to wear the Flexi-8 is in a demi-french-twist. A small size holds my hair firmly in place all day (no sliding! yay! :) and stays comfortably flat against the back of my head. You know how those plastic claw clips always dig into your head when you lean against something (or keep your head pushed away from the seat of the car)? Ugh. Or how the little claws love to snap off if you collapse on the couch too suddenly? Bleh.
No more. :)
I also love the variety of sizes and how many different styles they allow you to achieve. Be sure to check out the helpful style videos for more ideas!
