You asked for it, you got it! Enter the Bobo Shaper, the newest addition to our Essential Tools at Wrapunzel! We heard so much about this amazingly shaped garment from so many of you and collaborated with our incredible seamstress to manufacture and stock our very own, one of a kind, Bobo Shaper! Named ‘Bobo’ in honor of the Israeli name for ‘Shaper’, these shapers were inspired by a stunning look often worn in Israel. You’re going to love its fabulous look. It’s popular for a reason… read on to see why!
The Bobo Shaper is made entirely of our super grippy no-slip velvet fabric, and is secured by matching fabric ties. Its ‘band’ shape, with no velcro, allows the wearer to either fully cover or to leave their hair free in the back. It ties around the circumference of the head and fastens with ties instead of Velcro, so you don’t have to worry about snagging your scarves. Plus, you can wear it as tight or loose as you need, adding to the all-day comfort. The shape it creates – an upwardly widening crown – is something you’ve never seen before – and that is the clincher! So fresh and fashionable. Simply awesome! You can also adjust where the volume sits on your head by positioning the Bobo Shaper more forward or back from your natural hairline, if your personal style allows. As with our other Shaper styles, the stuffing is lightweight – you’ll barely know it’s there!
Bobo Shaper Tips and Troubleshooting:
Tie the Bobo Shaper on with the flat side at your face and the volume at the back of your head. Simply tuck the ties into the back of the shaper, or bring them up and over and wrap them over the top – they’ll be hidden by your scarf! Wear the Bobo further forward on your hairline for a raised crown style. Try it further back on the head to lower the volume slightly.

Washing Instructions:
Like other garments, hand-washing and laying flat to dry will always extend the life of your shaper. But you can also wash with like colors in a washing machine! We always suggest doing so in a delicates bag, which will prevent the shaper from snagging or becoming misshapen. Also, be sure to use a low heat-setting in a dryer, as too high a temperature can cause the stuffing to melt, potentially causing lumps.
Please note that on rare occasions, our Black grippy velvet fabric’s dye has been known to bleed through onto light colored scarves. To prevent this from happening, you can try setting the dye with a vinegar rinse, for which you can find directions on the internet. It’s important to remember that laundering your Essential Tools renders them non-returnable according to our Return Policy.

The Original Wrapunzel Classic Shaper is BACK! And it is new and improved! Better design, higher quality material – we are so proud and excited to bring these back! Please note that these shapers, unlike other Wrapunzel shapers, must be worn with a No-Slip Headband.
This shaper has a larger ‘pouf’ than the Wrapunzel Signature Shaper for a more dramatic look.

The designer of our amazing ‘Wendy’ Beret Shaper strikes again! Our newest Cloud9 Shaper features a revolutionary cap-style velvet headband with no velcro! Five full inches of Wrapunzel’s best no-slip velvet on top, which tapers to two inches at the bottom – the gripping power is absolutely amazing. It’s light as air, beautifully shaped, and so secure! You’ll be on Cloud 9 – hence the name!

There are those who like volume. And then, there are those who like VOLUME!!!! If you are in the latter category, this shaper is for you! Based on the style of our ‘‘Wendy’ Beret Shaper, our new Uber-Pouf Shaper has even more space for stuffing, for truly majestic wrapping possibilities! With Wrapunzel’s best no-slip velvet and the same light, cool fabric and stuffing as the Wendy, it’s light as air despite its size.

We originally designed the Classic Shaper to work with our No-Slip Headbands for ladies that love a full-volume look with their head wraps. Then, we wanted to go further – so along came the Signature Shaper. The Signature Shaper combined a shaper and high-quality no-slip headband in one elegant package, with a smaller, more natural-looking ‘pouf.’ But we wanted the ULTIMATE solution – an all in one-shaper that had everything that you were asking for! We worked with our seamstresses, and together we designed the Wrapunzel Ultimate Shaper!

A No-Slip Headband is absolutely ESSENTIAL, and it will save your tichel-wearing life! Two of the most common complaints that we hear from women (who haven’t heard about or used a No-Slip Headband yet!) is that their headscarves slip and their hair often gets pulled out when they try securing their scarves using bobby pins/clips. Enter the No-Slip Headband! With a huge range of sizes and colors available, there’s a perfect fit for everyone! Plus, our No Velcro No-Slip Headband is a simple (and comfy!) pull on, helping avoid snags on either your hair or your scarf! Seriously, you need one of these (or two, or three…)!

Ever wish you could wear your PJs to work without anyone knowing? (We do, too!) That’s exactly the philosophy behind the Favorite T-shirt Scarf!! It’s soft, stretchy, lightweight, and as comfy as your favorite T-shirt (you know, that one that’s been through the wash a hundred times?). Its non-slippery texture, comfortable weave, and long rectangular shape make it super versatile and deceptively sophisticated-looking – no more sacrificing style for comfort!

I really wanted to love this. The Bobo looks great on the Wrapunzel ladies on the website but it just doesn’t work for me. My head is average but even tied as tightly as it will go I feel that it could come off. I don’t like the ties and am longing for velcro or some other kind of fastener. My biggest issue is that the back is open. Only the very widest scarves come down far enough to cover my hair after going over the height and width of the Bobo, which limits what I can wear it with. I’m glad that some ladies love this. I’ll keep trying.

I really like how this allowed for pleats to be more visible. However, the shaper is so much bigger and sits differently than it does on any of the promotional pictures. I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong but it’s a little disappointing.
Meira Schneider-Atik – :
I was so excited to get this but I’m disappointed. The height is incredible but this also adds width. My head is wide to start and I have a roundish oval face so I need height without extra width. I tried fastening this more snugly and that helped but then it pulled on my hair. I’m going back to my tried and true velvet band plus classic shaper. Ladies, if you’re OK with extra width along with the height, then this is a good product for you but it doesn’t work for me. Thanks anyway.

I love this shaper. The volume is high on my head with no bulk in the back and I feel like I’m wearing a crown. And is it secure? IT IS–she means business and will stand up to anything you throw at her. It’s a super striking look and I am here for it.

I was so excited to receive my new “Bobo Shaper!” I purchased the brown one, which is a gorgeous color. It has velvet on both sides, which helps not only with the shaper staying on your head, but also with your scarf not sliding. I thought the ties were a little strange at first, very wide, but the width and texture of them is perfect and it feels good to tie and tuck (very comfortable and secure). I also like that there is no Velcro to snag my scarves. For me there definitely is a learning curve, though. I have always worked on creating wraps with a lot of volume at the top of my head, so those are the wrap styles I’m most familiar with. Those don’t necessarily work well with a shaper that already has the volume at the top and no volume at the back. With this one, I think, less is more, in that you can use fewer scarves to create the look you want and you need to make sure not to build up volume on the sides of the wrap. Again, a definite learning curve. However, I LOVE the look of the high crown I end up with and I am so glad Wrapunzel decided to make this style. I love my new “Bobo Shaper!” Thank you, Wrapunzel, for taking the time and thoughtfulness to make sure this would be a fabulous shaper!
