As a new mommy, I have learned that some things become less important when there is a small child in your life. Dishes...laundry...they're not really essential when it's considered the accomplishment of a lifetime when you manage to take a shower before noon.
One of the first things to go once L arrived was my hair. I had gotten a major haircut a few weeks before he was born - thinking to myself "Oh, well since it's shorter, it will be easier to take care of!" My thought was true - it is easier to take care of, but it's easiest to just throw it in a sloppy, wet ponytail and see how it turns out by the end of the day. Thankfully I have a new solution!
I was given the opportunity to review a Lilla Rose Flexi Hair Clip. I had heard of Lilla Rose in the past but honestly never really believed that it would work. My hair is very fine, and most hairstyles take serious effort to achieve! I can't tell you how glad I was to be proven wrong!
Take a look at how this Hair Clip works:
Here's me, with my slightly-below-shoulder-length hair. I wasn't sure what size to order, but there is a super helpful sizing video available! I determined that I would order my clip in size Extra Small. This size is perfect to do several styles with my hair - including Ponytail, Half-Up, and even Tails Up (a pretty tight squeeze - I may order another clip one size larger to have more options)!
The most basic hairstyle is the Ponytail. I love using this clip for my everyday look! It is just as easy as using a regular ponytail holder, but it's easier on my hair and looks gorgeous - and like I actually spent time on my hair. The best thing I've discovered? No ponytail line at the end of the day! If I ponytail my hair in the morning, that's it - it's staying in a ponytail ALL day because it will look ridiculous when I try to let it down. But the Lilla Rose clip doesn't leave that awful ponytail line! If for no other reason, you should give this clip a try. :)
Ponytail - Side View.
Other styles you can try are the half-up (above) and the tails-up (below). Both are simple and look so much more impressive than anything I would normally do with my hair. And the beauty of the Lilla Rose Flexi Clip is that every hairstyle takes just a few seconds to create! Before placing your order, make sure you check out the helpful sizing and style videos. They really are not an exaggeration - everything is as easy as the videos make it look!

I love the extra large Crown of Hearts Flexi 8!
ReplyDeleteI was wondering though, if I won, could I pay $4 and get a Mega Flexi? I have very thick calf length hair. Of course, I'm not gonna be picky over something that's free! So I'd still be thrilled to win a XL Flexi.
