In the world of social media, hair trends come and go, but every once in a while, there's a style that is the talk of the season and has everyone calling their stylists for a whole new look.
Enter the "fluffy bob," a trend that has already taken over Spring and Summer 2024. This style offers a perfect blend of chic sophistication and effortless charm. This versatile haircut adds volume, texture, and a touch of playfulness to your look, making it ideal for those seeking a fresh change. This guide will provide you with everything you need to achieve and style the “fluffy bob” flawlessly on yourself.
Before the Chop
Before making a salon appointment, it's essential to understand what sets the fluffy bob apart. Unlike traditional bobs, which often aim for sleekness and a blunt edge, the fluffy bob embraces the natural texture and movement of your hair. It's all about creating soft, airy layers that add volume and bounce to your hair, resulting in a fuller and more youthful appearance. Whether you have straight, wavy, or curly hair, the fluffy bob can be tailored to suit your unique texture and personality.
Step-by-Step Styling Guide:
- Consultation: Begin by talking with your hairstylist to determine the best length and layering techniques for your hair type and face shape. Communication is key to ensuring that you achieve the desired outcome. We always recommend bringing photos of what you like so there are no misunderstandings!
- Layering: The key to a successful fluffy bob lies in the layers. Ask your stylist to incorporate long, feathered layers throughout your hair to create volume and movement. These layers should blend seamlessly into one another, avoiding any harsh lines or edges.
- Texturizing: To enhance the fluffiness of your bob, consider adding texture through techniques such as point cutting. This will help to remove excess bulk and create a softer, more lived-in look.
- Styling Products: Invest in quality styling products designed to enhance volume and texture, such as a volumizing mousse or texturizing spray. Apply a small amount of product to damp hair, focusing on the roots, before blow-drying to add lift and body.
- Blow-Drying Technique: If you are wanting volume, we always recommend using a round brush to lift the roots while blow-drying your hair, focusing on creating volume at the crown. For added bounce, flip your head upside down while drying and then finish with a blast of cool air to set the style.
- Finishing Touches: Once your hair is dry, use a wide-tooth comb or your fingers to gently tousle and fluff up the layers. You can also use your TYME Iron Pro to add loose waves or curls for a more romantic vibe.
- Maintenance: To keep your fluffy bob looking its best, schedule regular trims every 6-8 weeks to maintain the shape and prevent any unwanted bulkiness. Additionally, use a lightweight texturizing spray or dry shampoo between washes to refresh and add volume to your hair, without compromising your hair texture.
