Bob is the most popular haircut for now, and I bet it will always be. There are many types of bobs, for example, round and butterfly, asymmetrical and A-line, with and without bangs but today’s roundup isn’t about any of them, and basically it isn’t about cutting your hair but mostly about styling as we are talking of plush bob.
What Is A Plush Bob?
A plush bob is a bob haircut that looks very full, luxurious, and thick. It makes your hair look heavy and fancy, which is why it’s great for people with fine hair. The main thing about this style is the volume it creates.
“Plush hair” fits in with fashion trends like “quiet luxury” and the “rich girl” look. Even though it looks polished and fancy, it’s a way to look sophisticated and put-together without looking plain.
How To Get A Plush Bob?
Most bob haircuts depend on how you cut them, but for a plush bob, styling is just as important. To get this look, you need to create volume at the roots and add layers to the hair. Instead of having a one-length bob, a plush bob has layers around the face to frame it nicely and lots of layers inside to add volume while still looking thick. The ends are cut straight to make the hair look healthy and thick.
Start by washing your hair with volumizing shampoo and conditioner. Towel dry gently, then apply a root lift spray or volumizing mousse to damp hair. Blow dry using a round brush, lifting at the roots for added volume. Use a cool shot to set the style. Add texture with a texturizing spray and gently tease the roots. For waves, use a curling iron and loosen them with your fingers. Finish with a light hairspray and a touch of shine serum. Regular trims and deep conditioning will keep your plush bob looking its best.
Comparison With Other Bob Hairstyles
Soft Bob
This bob has gentle, graded layers and a rounded contour, providing a relaxed, feminine look. It lacks the high volume and luxurious appearance of the plush bob.
Bubble Bob
This style has a circular form with shorter layers at the back, creating a “bubble” effect. While it also focuses on volume, it has a more structured and defined shape than the plush bob’s natural fullness.
French Bob
Characterized by its chin or jaw-length cut with side-swept bangs, the French bob is a classic, versatile style. It doesn’t emphasize the heavy volume and luxurious feel that defines the plush bob.
Blunt Bob
This bob features straight, even cuts with no layers, giving a sleek and polished look. It’s the opposite of the plush bob in terms of texture and volume, aiming for sharpness and modernity.
Shaggy Bob
With choppy layers and a textured, casual appearance, the shaggy bob offers an effortless look. It contrasts with the plush bob’s refined, voluminous, and luxurious styling.
Inverted Bob
Also called a graduated bob, it has a longer front and shorter back, creating a dramatic angle. The plush bob doesn’t focus on such a dramatic shape but rather on even volume and luxury.
Lob
Differences: A longer version of the bob, usually shoulder-length or a bit longer. It’s versatile and suits all face shapes but doesn’t provide the same level of volume and plushness as the plush bob.
Textured Bob
Incorporating a lot of movement and texture, often through layering and styling with products. While it adds volume, it doesn’t aim for the plush, luxurious feel of the plush one.
