Have you heard of Lilla Rose before?
I'd heard about them for awhile and seen their hair products around the internet.
But I just never thought I'd like them.
Like with other things, however, I've had to eat humble pie change my mind and realize that I was all wrong about these clips.
All wrong.
Read on to find out why….
Why I Thought I'd NEVER Buy a Lilla Rose Flexi-Clip
1. Price
You know, I'm the type of woman who won't spend more than $2.50 for a pack of 8 barrettes at Walmart (yes, I shop there very occasionally (as in — almost never). Please don't leave me any mean comments about it if you're super opposed to Walmart, OK?).
So when I saw that these Lilla Rose Flexi-clips cost about $14 for just one barrette, I thought, “No way would I ever spend that.”
2. Too “foofy”
Whenever I would look at the Lilla Rose Flexi-clips I would just think that I would never wear something that decorative in my hair – that somehow I just wouldn't look good with it.
You know what I mean? I'm just not that fancy of a person. My barrettes, until now, were just the plain kind. Like I said, $2.50 for a pack of 8. Super Plain Jane.
I mean, Lilla Rose even had a Fourth of July Flexi-Clip. No way would I ever wear that.
Like I said, however, I am now needing to change my tune.
Admitting I Was Wrong
If you've been around my blog for awhile, you know that I am a “straight-shooter.” I tell it like I see it, but that also means that sometimes I have to change what I've said, admit that I was wrong and say how my thinking has changed.
Like in the case of:
– Natural Dishwasher Rinse Aid – I had to do a new post sharing how what I had told you all was a good option just maybe wasn't that good for your dishwasher after all.
– Essential Oils – How I used to think essential oils were a bunch of hooey – but found out that they most certainly are not. Now after promoting Young Living, I am going to have to once again “Change My Tune” and do an update to Which Essential Oils Company is Best?
– Autism – I used to think that all this hype over autism was just doctors overdiagnosing. Then — when autism hit out home, I realized how real this catastrophic condition is. Here's my post on Autism Healing.
Well, now, I am here to tell you that I've been wrong about Lilla Rose Flexi-Clips.
A number of months ago, I received a free Lilla Rose clip. I got the Celtic Knot. I put it in my hair and — well, I loved it. My husband and kids did too. I was just so surprised. (Part of why I like it is it's so pretty. But my father immigrated from Ireland so that helps too :-).)
The clips add just the right touch of prettiness to your hair without being overpowering.
In the morning I typically run around the house (or walk :-)) with my hair pulled all up but I never really liked it that way. Now, when I use a Lilla Rose clip, I love how it looks. It has a nice femininity about it without being too ornamental or cutesy. Just right.
I loved the clip so much that I signed up as a consultant. I get a nifty discount and any income I make from sales goes towards helping this blog keep on going…..
And about that Fourth of July clip, I even think that it's pretty cute now. Too bad it's not available anymore.
What I Love About Lilla Rose
1. Simply Pretty
Like I said above. These clips are really pretty — without being too much. You can wear them around the home, out and about, or even to a fancy event. They fit right in no matter what.
Seriously I've always been a “Plain Jane” accessory type.
I basically have:
– 2 pairs of earrings
– 1 barrette
– 1 purse / bag
so that I never need to think about what goes with what and I can just get out the door quickly.
The only problem with that is it just gets a little boring and I really enjoy now having something not-too-extravagant to “dress things up a little.”
These Flexi-Clips have given me a nice way to dress up without being too fancy.
2. Durable
These clips are not going to fall apart like some of my barrettes have done.
3. Promotes Healthy Hair
When I was using my old style barrettes and clips, I would always rip out several pieces of hair each time I took my hair down. Now — even at one strand per day, we are talking about 365 strands of hair per year :-(. I really don't like losing hair. Say goodbye to ripped out hair with the Flexi Clip.
4. Affordable
Yes, I did think that there was no way that I would spend $14 or more on a hair clip. But when you think about all you are getting, these clips are very affordable. Great for yourself, presents….(and Christmas is just around the corner (well, sort of).)
5. Stay-put-edness
These clips hold your hair. They come in a bunch of different sizes so you can choose what size is right for your hair and the style that you hope to wear it. I personally use an XS to put my hair partially up and either an XS or a S to put all my hair up – depending on how loose I want the style to be.
Here are some of the great ways you can wear your hair with these clips:
And here are a few more clip styles that I have my eye on.
And they have more than just clips. Check all this out:

What do you use to put your hair up?
Hi there, thanks for the article. I was wondering if you could answer something for me. Is it possible to get addicted to essential oils? My wife just ordered some so I’m trying to get some info about them. I appreciate any answers you can give me.
I have never heard of this. Thanks for reading!
I’m hearing about these Flexi-Clips for the first time. They look beautiful.
Yes I love mine and decided to become a consultant.
I’m a guy and I love lilla rose. Tired of elastic bands pulling my hair out. I have so little to spare.
Though I would also prefer a plain style I warmed up to a few styles and wear one of them everyday.
I liked them so much I decided to become a consultant. If anyone is interested to contact the company
and ask for more plain or masculine styles I think it would be a good thing.
Thanks for sharing!
Made in China , they have enough room on the clips to put their website and their patent number but leave off that vital info.
Hi there. I have read that the law requires them to put it on the bags that they ship the clips in so I hope that helps.
Additionally, this is an official statement by the founder of the company that I think helps to explain their situation further.
I would be happy to answer any other questions or concerns that you might have.
i think these clips are great and am wondering how well they do with shorter hair. I could not find any videos for shorter hair demonstrations.
thank you
Hi there. I have a bunch of photos I can send you. I will shoot you an email.
Pictures and where are you located
Hi there. I just sell these online. You can see a lot of them in hair on this site: https://www.lillarose.biz/wholenewmom Hope that helps!
I had problems placing an order over the weekend. It took over an hour to place the order due to a slow server, possibly due to to many using the site because of the sale and Christmas coming up? Anyway, when I finally got to the end it said an error had occurred , unable to process my request, call support dept or retry request. I went through the process again and this time it said internal server error. I tried to call the support dept, but no answer. Now my credit card shows TWO charges even though the website said neither went through. Help!
They are in CA. What time did you try to contact them? They are very good with customer service. I can help if need be but it will likely be quicker if you contact them.
My hair is really fine and most…no, nearly all, clips, barettes, etc do NOT stay in my hair (or my daughter’s hair)….will theses work in super fine hair, or will they constantly slip and move? They are pretty, but at $15 each, I can’t afford to spend money on something neither one of us can use. thanks.
They will work in super fine hair. Just get the smallest size. I have also seen ladies put a pipecleaner around a mini to make it even smaller. I will put a photo of that on my Facebook page now (Lilla Rose one). Head over there and check it out. There is also a money back guarantee and shipping isn’t that much to get it back to them so you have that option as well. https://www.facebook.com/LillaRoseWholeNewMom
I am interested in the opportunity but the kits don’t tell you exactly what is in them. I do not intend to be selling a lot. Only when someone mentions they like the one I have on. But I do like a lot of the clips, wear clips a lot and therefore would like a collection for my personal use at a discount. So can you give me more information on what is in the particular kits, cost, how income (bonuses) works, ect. Thanks, Glenda
Hi Glenda. Do you mean the kits to sign up? I bought the $50 kit and you just get 6 clips in it, of different sizes. That way, you can wear some and show the different sizes to people who are interested.
You make 30% off any personal sales and you get extra bonuses as you sell more and as any recruited consultants sell as well (provided you meet the minimum requirements, which aren’t that steep.)
Let me know if you need more information. Happy to share!
Do you think it would be possible to add this lien to my website, or can oyu only sell on their websites?
C
Hi there. I don’t think you can add the products to your site.
Who’s hoo and Etched Lily with Amethyst are my two favorites, but seems the little owl is gone. š So Roman Stone Lite Sapphire is my other second choice (both in medium, since small couldnt keep all my curly hair!)
I have been wanting to try these!!
I like the Hawaiian flower and scrollwork heart.
I have one flexi-clip and LOVE it! I really adore the Who’s Hoo and the Simple Band in Black Nickel. Thank you for this opportunity!
