Finding accessories to use in my long, thick hair has always been a challenge. I admit, I am a sucker for pretty clips, barrettes, bows, and hair bands. I will be in a store and something catches my eye, so I buy it, hoping that it will stay in my hair. All too often, I end up with buyer's remorse when that pretty little thing slips right out of my hair, pops open because my hair is too thick, or breaks when I try to clip it in my hair.
Another problem I have with hair accessories is that it seems to take a licensed hair dresser to be able to figure out how to get my hair to look as good as the picture on the packaging. I can't even figure out how to use a round brush in my hair without getting it stuck! Unfortunately, a lot of hair accessories end up in the trash when I get too frustrated trying to figure out how to use them.

About Flexi8:
“The Flexi 8 is a completely unique, flexible barrette that holds thick, thin, curly, straight, fine and coarse hair. The Flexi 8 comes in a variety of sizes and hundreds of ever changing styles. Flexi 8 uses an ingenious patented locking mechanism to secure it in your hair. It’s such an attractive and unique accessory for your hair, once you try the Flexi 8, LOOK OUT! (you’re in love)”
I can honestly say that I am in love with Flexi8!

A big plus to the Flexi8 is that the pin is attached to the barrette. This is fantastic. This way, I can't lose it. Another great feature is the flexibility of the wire which allows the barrette to hold my hair in place securely.
This is one of the Flexi8s I intend to buy very soon. I love the dragonfly and the antique beadwork. SO pretty!

Bottom Line
I really love Flexi8 barrettes! They keep my hair in place and look great too!
