DESCRIPTION & REVIEWS
The Mini Bobo Shaper is just what you’ve been asking for! Our incredible seamstress has taken all the super features of our (regular sized) Bobo Shaper and made those features just a bit smaller! These shapers are very stretchy. Named ‘Bobo’ in honor of the Israeli name for ‘Shaper’, this Mini Bobo is 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 Mini 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 really fresh and fashionable. Simply awesome! You can also adjust where the volume sits on your head by positioning the Mini 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!
Dimensions: 16″ circumference (not including fabric ties), 5″ rise at the crown of the head, each ‘tube’ is 1.5″ in diameter
Mini Bobo Shaper Tips and Troubleshooting:
Tie the Mini 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 Mini 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.

Perfect for any event. I love that I can tie this, as I have a large head and non-adjustable shapers are usually uncomfortable to wear, but this is perfect

Well, I finally got the COURAGE to tackle this again. I tried it when I first bought it (briefly, late at night when I was tired). The result was disheartening (utter failure ), so on the shelf, it has waited patiently, staring at me with it’s smug expression, and daring me to fail again. . Yesterday was the day! Today I was able to reproduce the results, but this time I showed a little hair, which really softened the look, and received the nicest compliment. Summer is certainly on its way, so I’m not sure how much use I will get of it before then because I think it will just be too hot. In the meantime, I can practice.

At first, I wasn’t sure how to handle this little beauty. But after a bit of practice, I think this will become my new favorite shaper! This little bit of happiness is amazing once you get the hang of it, and it turns your scarves into a party for your head! I’m glad I picked it up as part of my holiday headwrap spree.
