Lilla Rose Review and Giveaway
Note: This is a
guest-post reviewing the product of a Catholic homeschooling mom.
In recent months, I have been making a concerted effort to dress more modestly
and in a more feminine manner. After making changes to my attitude and
wardrobe, my untamed hair was the final hurdle. My hair is thick and wavy and
takes forever to blow dry, so it usually ends up in a ponytail or bun. I can’t
stand going to Mass with wet hair, but I feel that a ponytail isn’t always
“dressy” enough for church. I’ve been eyeing the beautiful hair accessories
from Lilla Rose and am excited to have the opportunity to share my experience
with them.
The first step was to figure out what size Flexi clips to order. My hair is
thick and wavy and falls a few inches past my shoulders. Since I typically wear
my hair in a ponytail, I selected a medium for that style. I chose an XL for
when I want to wear my hair in a bun. The website has videos
to help you choose the correct size for your hair and desired style.
Choosing the correct size is so important if you want the clip to hold your
hair all day! However, if you happen to order the wrong size, Lilla Rose will
gladly exchange the Flexi for free within 90 days.
The next step will be to choose from dozens of beautiful clips! I liked the
silver clips because they’d pop against my dark hair.
Even
the packaging is pretty!
The first thing I noticed was that the stick is permanently attached to the
Flexi clip, so I don’t have to worry about losing them. (You can’t tell by
looking at the website, since the photos are of closed clips, so I was VERY
pleasantly surprised!) You cannot imagine how awesome that is to me, in a house
filled with boys where things disappear on a regular basis! Plus, a wayward
stick can’t be used as a weapon or projectile, as often occurs ‘round these
parts.
I was also relieved to see that a how-to manual was included. I had been
fretting about when I would ever find the opportunity to watch how-to videos,
but my worries were abated as I followed the simple directions. Here is my
first ever bun with my XL clip:
It’s far from perfect, but it still looked decent and stayed in all day! And
though it’s so simple, I felt so much more dressed up and put together while
wearing it instead of my trusty thick, black, hair rubber band.
Bye-bye,
rubber band! You have served me well, but I must move on…

a sad attempt at a French Twist, which I’ve never tried before, ever:
