Lilla Rose for Liza

 This is a photo gallery of Lilla Rose hair accessories. 

The party has closed, so that we can get the orders processed and shipped out. IF YOU WOULD STILL LIKE TO PLACE AN ORDER, simply go to www.lillarose.biz/sweetpea. Then email me at sweetpealoveslilla@gmail.com to let me know you would like your order to benefit the Mountains. 

Sweet Pea Loves Lilla is doing a Benefit Party for the Mountains, who are depleting every resource as they work to bring Liza home from the Ukraine. These are the same hair clips that the Mountains gave to Liza and her friend.

The Mountains will receive 100% of sales profit, which means at least 30% of everything you purchase. Please buy a Lilla Rose hair clip for yourself or a loved one. I promise it will change your life, and it will make a difference for the Mountains!

In addition to helping the Mountains, we would like to send a bundle of Lilla Rose clips to Liza's orphanage. There are a number of young girls there who have never experienced the luxury of owning something pretty for their hair, and we would like to give them that small pleasure. So for every clip purchased through this benefit party, Sweet Pea Loves Lilla will donate $1 towards clips for the orphans.

Tree of Life flexi-clip

The signature Lilla Rose item is the flexi-clip.  It is a one-piece design, lightweight, comfortable, and beautiful. I wear mine for twelve hours at a time and forget it is there. There are stories of people waking up to find them still in their hair. They are that comfortable.

A flexi can do anything a claw can do... and a whole lot more!

The beaded figure-eight is made of music-wire, like guitar strings, so it is very strong and flexible. There are stories of them being run over by cars with no damage. 

They hold anywhere and everywhere. I know of someone who has scuba-dived with a flexi in her hair. I have worn mine in the ocean, for the simple reason that I needed something that would hold well. Here is a friend who swore her flexi did not budge one bit during several hours of swimming in the gulf!

Lilla Rose flexi-clips come in seven sizes to hold in every type of hair—thin, straight, slippery-fine, thick, coarse, wavy, and textured!

The mini is for pulling back just a little hair, or for a little girl's ponytail.

Think you have too much hair for a flexi? Think again! The mega allows you to put even the longest hair all the way up in an elegant bun!

If you NEED HELP KNOWING YOUR SIZE, then check out these way cool videos that help you figure that out, and show you how easy it is to do pretty styles with the flexis.

But here is the general rule of thumb: Grab your hair in your hand like you are going to put it in a ponytail, and estimate the circumference of your ponytail.
Ponytail = dime size... you need a mini
Ponytail = nickel size... you need an XS
Ponytail = quarter size... you need a Sm
Ponytail = half dollar size... you need a Med
Your half-up is usually a size down from your ponytail/tails-up, and your full French twist is usually a size up, although sometimes people can use two sizes for all three styles.

One head of hair, 6 sizes!
Top row: Twist-back with mini; Half-up with XS
2nd row: Half twist with Sm; Tails-up with Med
3rd row: Full French twist with Lg; round bun with XL

Sizing example 1: Kit has shoulder-length layered hair, fine but rather thick. She uses a Small for her ponytail and tails-up, a Medium for her full French twist, and an XS for her half-up. She sometimes uses two minis to pull back a little hair from each side of her face. She makes frequent use of Lilla Rose bobbies to tuck in those shorter layers.

Sizing example 2: Brenna has long, straight, semi-fine hair. She's one of those rare in-betweeners, and most of the XS's are a little bit too small for her ponytail (some styles do tend to run just a little bit bigger or smaller than others, do to the variance in the beads), but a Small tends to slip out unless she uses the hair tie trick.* She uses a Small for her half-twists, and a Medium for her up-and-downs (like a French twist, but with some hair left hanging down below) and drop-buns. To get it all the way up in a bun she uses a large. She likes to twist a little hair back from her face and secure it with a mini.

*If you are sure you have the right size flexi and it still won't hold without slipping, wrap a hair-tie or rubber band around the bar (where it slides underneath your hair) to provide added grip. Works every time!
