[unpaid/sample] I don’t know about you, but if I don’t tie my hair up at night I wake up with – well, spaghetti-head. I’ve kept my hair longer since lock-down – in fact, I think it’s about back to when I was desperate to get it cut and there is a certain point, or length, beyond which I don’t want to go. Anyway, tie-up is essential and I usually use a snag-free spiral or a silkie (from Millesaisons HERE) with spirals on first wash days and silkies thereafter (they slip out if my hair is too clean or I haven’t tied them enough).
I like this new brand, Spirabobble, founded during lock-down (and extremely generous in sending out over 4000 to key workers during that time) to have at my bedside and for yoga.
Actually, the colour selection is immense and who doesn’t need colour in their lives? Mr BBB wonders in same way he wonders about cushions, why I have these everywhere and why every random little bowl we have in the house is full of either lipglosses or bobbles. He doesn’t see the need for more than one.
He also doesn’t see any need to start Christmas shopping early either but at the same time that I’m suggesting Spirabobbles as stocking fillers, I’m also pre-warning you that I have advent calendars coming up in the next week or so. I think our shopping habits will be very different this year – it’s making sense to me to start early and gradually. They’re £4.99 for a pack of 3 HERE (sending you straight to the Rainbow bands because they’re lovely).

I’d really love them if they were made with an alternative to plastic but it really upsets me to buy more plastic which is so harmful to the environment
The way I see it is that they’re so durable it’s a one-time or at least rare purchase. Other similar brands I have had for years and have only replaced because they’ve gone missing or I’ve left them somewhere. Hence the pots dotted about – if there’s always a pot they don’t go missing as much!
I did think that as soon as I wrote the comment. You are absolutely right xx Thank you
How do they compare to the Invisibobbles Jane? I still have mine from one of your beauty boxes but one finally gave up and snapped the other day so I need replacements.
Wow – it lasted a long time! You must be an expert bobble keeper! They’re slightly bigger and sturdier – but slightly.
Really the silk ones are much kinder to fine fragile hair. I used the no kink bobbles for a while, but after losing hair and pulling it out/breaking it, I switched to Slip silk ones, much gentler!
Jane, you introduced me to this type of bobble years ago when you included the invisabobble in one of your beauty boxes. I’ve found that when they stretch out of shape you can restore them by pouring some boiling water on them. It works!
Oh that’s a good tip, thanks Sophie x
Thanks very much for the tip as I have found that they do stretch after time and become much less efficient!
Thank you for the mention! Rather foolishly I’ve only started having my hair up at night earlier this year. Usually I get to summer and in the heat my hair annoys me so I want it cut short but that was not an option this year…! Now I use a scrunchie or sleep cap I can sleep without my hair trying to strangle me which is surprisingly lovely.
I love the photo of these bobbles in the glass jar with the light coming through too- I can imagine a whole bright translucent summer editorial thing and it just makes them look so vibrant and joyful 🙂
Yes, when my hair was shorter it wasn’t really an issue but now – essential! I’m taking your scrunchie on holiday 🙂
Spaghetti head is a daily occurrence when you’ve got curly hair 😉 I tried the Invisibobble from your box years ago and I had to cut it out, it got so tangled in my curls!
Then silkies are the way for you! But sorry, obviously, to hear that it got into such a muddle x
