On the 9th day of Christmas, day2day joys gave to me…

The most beautiful and useful hair accessories to date Giveaway from Kristen of Lilla Rose. Kristen is an expert and private consultant with Lilla Rose hair products and when she sent me my poppy pins and flexi-clip for review, she couldn’t have been more helpful or more knowledgeable about what my crazy locks need to be tamed and look (semi) presentable for the holidays.

My idea of dressing up my hair is a clip half up/half down. Or my hair down, with some sort of product that makes it look less . . . boring? So when Rachel asked me to do this review and I agreed,  Kristen contacted me and I was so delighted to be able to try something that might actually work. But who wants to just comb through the bins at Target for something that might work when you can talk to someone, and have it delivered to your house, and it will work.

The company offers personal shopping for hair products ranging from flexi hair clip to bobbies to you-pins, to hair sticks, to O-rings, to hair bands. Kristen was kind enough to guide me through the products and see the range of actual offerings, and then styles within the offerings. The company focuses on unique, comfortable, and strong hair clips sold by real people to us, the real people in need of hair help!

Features of Flexi Hair Clip & Bobbies:

1. The flexi hair clip is an adjustable clasp for your hair that allows you to adjust the clip to your own hair needs and volume. A few styles the company suggests you can do with it are the pony tail, half-twist, up & down, drop bun, tails-up, french twist, half-up, and extra long. There is flex to the portion of the clip that wraps around the upperside of your hair. The underside is adjustable both in how far it slides, and in which groove it clasps into when it connects with the top.
2. The bobbies are a firm long and just the right kind of thickness kind of bobby pin. The decorations range from festive to quiet, and would go well for a night out, a yoga class, or your wedding. I felt like I could boogie down all night with these bad boys in, and have nothing out of place, except maybe my breath.

Now for my review:

I was given a set of bobbies & flexi-hair clip by Kristen, in beautiful packaging and with helpful instructions.

What I Liked:

1. I liked that the bobby pins are incredibly sturdy–like made of unbreakables! But still had an appropriate amount of bend. They would keep anyone’s hair in place, firmly. These bobbies are much better than any others I’ve had. AND they don’t snag your loose hairs away. They are like Mary Poppins–firm but nice.
2. I loved that the flexi hair clip is adjustable. I could do my hair in a number of ways with it, and it still looked nice! Trust me when I say this is saying a lot for my hair which is both fine and lots of it–a tricky combo. I opted for the half up/half down here because, let’s face it, if I even did this with my hair I would feel ready for the ball! Needless to say my husband was surprised my hair wasn’t pulled back in a sloppy bun when he came home. He gives it a double thumbs up!

What I didn’t like:

1. I loved it all!
