I have bad hair. I said it and I really mean it. My hair is horrible! It is fine, thin, stringy and straight as a stick. It normally falls out of barrettes because it is just so baby fine. I have found a hair accessory that holds my hair and doesn’t fall out in
the new Flexi-8. Flexi-8 is a new style of hair barrette that looks like an embellished 8.
The Flexi-8 comes in 5 sizes and hundreds of different styles. The size is determined by a unique locking mechanism that secures your hair in the barrette. The sizes available will fit any type of hair. I have fine hair and the small and XS work the best for me. The other sizes are too big and don’t hold my hair. The mini is the perfect size for just a small bit of hair and would be perfect for a little girl. The Flexi-8 comes in either gold or silver colors. Each style of barrette has different beads decorations. They are all so beautiful, it would be a hard choice to make!
I received one of each size Flexi-8 to review. As I said before the small and XS are perfect for my hair. I use the small to hold a ponytail or an updo. I use the XS for just pulling back part of my hair. The Flexi-8 barrettes are very simple to use once you practice a few times. There are some helpful videos on the Flexi-8 site to help you determine your size and also to show you some different styles.
My husband’s favorite style using the Flexi-8. I have the XS barrette in my hair below.

I love that the barrettes don’t tug on my hair or give me a headache like other barrettes do. The Flexi-8 is very comfortable to wear and I had it in my hair for over 8 hours. I like the fact that the size of the barrette is etched right on the side of the locking pin so you can remember which size you need to reorder.
Or Not…
~The barrettes are between $12-$20 which is a bit pricey in my opinion. However if you think about spending $3-$4 on each pack of claw clips that don’t last you will save money with the Flexi-8 because they are more durable. Mr Dorsey, the owner of Flexi-8 also wants you to no that they have a no hassle return policy for defective barrettes which includes free return shipping. Not many companies can offer that!
Here are some key tips to the Flexi-8:
- Watch the sizing videos before choosing your size.
- Most women overestimate the size they need.
- Keep your hair type in mind when choosing your size.
- Thin hair will normally need a smaller barrette in my opinion.
