Top 5 Most Comfortable Hair Accessories for Busy Moms & More!

Let’s find Hair Accessories that don’t hurt your head!

We’ve all been there. Some of these hair accessories are painful! I’m a busy mom – homeschooling and homesteading take up most of my time. I need hair accessories and hair care that is easy and most of all, COMFORTABLE!

Lilla Rose to the rescue!

In my opinion, here are the top most comfortable hair accessories, in order of comfort (#1 being the most comfortable to me):

1) Wood Pin Flexi Flip 

With their all-natural materials, these are so lightweight (yet still durable), that I can barely tell I’m wearing anything in my hair! Bonus: One of them is named after me! See below! That’s me – Sue Ellen Wood Pin Flexi Flip on the left; Courtney Wood Pin Flexi Flip on the right. These, along with all the other clips listed below, are just as easy to use as the original Flexi-Clip, so that’s a plus as well!

2) Flexi Sport 

These are also lightweight, but the grippy texture holds the hair really well! I use the Medium as a Small for a ponytail and the Extra as a Medium for a full twist! (Based on Flexi Flip sizing chart) These are waterproof and hold everything in place really well, even during an exercise or sports activity!

3) Flexi Flip 

The Flip is reversable, so one clip will cover several of your sizes. In these photos, I’m wearing a Medium on the left and an Extra on the right. More of my hair is wrapped in the Extra, but I’m also using it flipped to the smaller size. See more in the video below.

I’m also actually using a Flip in the video found under the next section, too!

4) Flexi Clip 

It’s the gold standard. Seven sizes means the right size for you should also be a comfortable fit for you! I most often use a Flexi-Clip for my half-ups and full twists because I love the variety of beautiful centerpieces and beadwork! There is literally a color or designs that will suit every personality and style!

In the above video, I’m using a FLIP, but all of these Clips are all similar enough that any style I can do with a Flip, I can also do with a Clip or a Sport! (now that’s a mouthful!) How do I choose from day-to-day? Usually, I choose based on the design or colors. For the video above, the “Penny” Flip is the only thing I had with some green in it, to match my shirt that day.

5) Acrylic Upins 

I love these little powerhouse hair forks – Acrylic Upins!! They’re super easy for a quick bun, so it’s handy to keep these where you spend your time – one in your purse, in your desk pencil cup, in the car, in your shower caddy, on your bedside table.

They’re perfect for a high bun in the shower (waterproof!) on a “no-poo” day and great for a high bun to sleep in! With over 20 colors to choose from, there will be one that goes with your style and your outfit!

Though we rarely think about it – everyone’s head is a little bit differently shaped. So we may not all rank comfort on the same scale. I’ve heard from quite a few people, however, that would agree with my comfort scale.

So were you looking for hair ties that cause the least amount of damage, too?

Maybe a tie is not exactly what you need! All of the accessories I just mentioned for comfort are also gentle on your hair, and I rarely pull out hair when using them. (I don’t believe that statement could describe the elastic alternatives!)

There is a slight learning curve to this type of barrette or pin, but after using these exclusively for over 10 years, I find them much easier to use than elastics and ties!

Flexi SPORT: Perfect Summer Hair Accessory!

We have a brand new product that launched on September 1, 2021!

The Flexi SPORT has been in research & development for years! It was first revealed to Stylists at our National Convention in 2018, and called the Flexi2. John has worked with engineers and product testers for even longer before that, trying to find the perfect materials that would hold up to the rigorous use of our amazing hair accessories.

What he came up with is a no-slip grip that’s perfect for high ponytails, active lifestyles, children, water activities… and just every day! (in fact, I’ve had one since July 2021 and my youngest has been wearing it pretty much 24/7 since then!)

This video features my oldest daughter using the Sport to make a low ponytail, which is what she does every. single. day.

Currently, the Sport is available in one size – Medium Flip Size… which can be used as a Medium, Small or Extra Small, so it is extremely versatile! Text the word SPORT to (254) 988-7217 for more information! But the Extra Flip Size (for medium through extra large) is in the testing phase!

It’s comfortable, no slip, grippy material – made with Thermoplastic Elastomer (TPE), inside the 8 portion is a high tensile strength spring steel (the same material that the wire in our Flips are made with), high grade polycarbonate for the sliding pin. All parts are latex free and there is no exposed metal.

It’s 100% waterproof! Perfect for swimming, boating and other water sports!

Color options will be changing seasonally!

And the price is pretty sweet, too – $15 for one -OR- a 3-pack of all 3 colors for $39! The first run of these clips sold out in THREE days! More colors were released, and those sold out! Check my website for the most current colors available!

Watch as my Sponsor tests the Flexi Sport against the Pony-O:

Key points of warning: TPE is a fantastic material in it’s durability, flexibility, and more! However it is susceptible to heat. You’re going to want to make sure to check your pockets in the laundry room. One of our Stylists accidentally washed, and dried, her Sport. It was not good. (Many of us have washed and dried the original Flexi-Clip with little to no damage.) Also, I live in Texas, where the heat in the car can become deadly in just a few minutes. Your new Flexi Sport would likely not survive that either.

Colors available will vary.

November 2020 Hostess Opportunity

Happy November! This month is a great time to gather your friends to take a break from this year’s chaos and look at something beautiful! Literally everyone is already thinking about gifts they’d love to give (and receive) for upcoming holidays, and may also have birthdays and anniversaries to consider.

Add to that that these are products that your friends and family will actually use and love themselves, so what more could you want?!

I am happy to offer two solutions for this season:

1) Lilla Rose Hair Accessories

The perfect size for a stocking, small jewelry box, or bag! That describes most of the items that Lilla Rose has to offer. Gorgeous and unique hair accessories to fit every type of hair, we have 7 sizes of Flexi-Clip, a variety of hair pin types (U-Pin sets, Swerves, acrylics, large pins – beaded or plain), hair sticks, hairbands, leather accessories… something for everyone!

November 2020 Special Offer for clients of Sue Ellen Hale only: When your event reaches $200 in sales by Nov 25, I will match your credit with items from my available inventory! This is a limited time offer, available only through me, and is not endoresed by Lilla Rose, Inc. or any other Stylist that I’m aware of.

Hostess Rewards start at just $100!

Hostess Rewards already start at just $100 with our exclusive Hostess Only Flexi-Clips and Flexi-inspired necklaces! Half priced items and additional free credit increase the more orders you and your guests help bring in!

Now if those on your list usually don’t wear accessories in their hair, as is the case with some, we also have a line of Essential Hair Care products that also are a considerate gift or stocking stuffer. Pamper yourself and the ladies on your Christmas list with these!

2) Mary & Martha

This year I am pleased to have grown my business to include beautiful home decor and service pieces, inspirational sharables & devotional books, and more from Mary & Martha! With the strong faith foundation, this company is right. up. my. alley!

I love sharing these products to strengthen women in their spiritual journey, and to provide tools for encouraging others! One of my favorite things M&M offers is Scripture Sharables & Prayers to Share pads, which are meant to share with others everywhere you go! These are also perfect for adding to stockings this year! Give someone a whole collection they can share with others, or split the cards up among several people. The 100 Empowering Notes for Kids are being added to many shoeboxes this year for Operation Christmas Child, too!

Every month M&M has a Host Bonus to encourage booking – it’s a selection of some of our most popular items, available for just $14 when you book and hold your party! At $32-$65 off, these are a crazy good deal — my GIFT to you when you book and hold your virtual gathering this November! 🙂

Of course, beyond that, Hostesses are eligible for free and half priced items, based on the total sales at your gathering.

I get really excited at the end of a Mary & Martha gathering, when I see how many people are going to be blessed by the items that were purchased during the event!

I am so happy and thankful that I can offer both of these opportunities this fall! If you’d like to schedule your own event, please reach out to me on Facebook, or text me if you have my number, so we can get you scheduled ASAP!

As always, and with all other small businesses – we truly appreciate your business and your support, this year especially. When your orders come in, they fill my heart with thankfulness… and there just might be a little happy dance, too! 💜
