What is the Old Money Bob?
The Old Money Bob isn’t a novel invention. As Asil Simsek explains, “The Old Money Bob is a classic and polished hairstyle known for its sleek, chin-length cut. It’s elegant and timeless, perfect for a sophisticated look that works well in both formal and professional settings.” This resurgence in popularity aligns with the trend towards ‘quiet luxury,’ seamlessly blending tennis-core elegance from movies like Challengers with vintage Hollywood glamour.
The Secret to the Style
“The Old Money Bob is a bob cut straight below the chin line, styled with volume and bounce,” says Danielle Priano. “If your stylist doesn’t recognize the term, simply ask for a bob with a volumizing blowout.” The appeal of this style lies in its effortless glamour. With the right products, achieving this look can be as simple as tousling your hair post-blowout.
Dimitris Giannetos elaborates, “An Old Money Bob consists of a regular bob but with added volume and body to maximize its appearance. Hair is blow-dried and then turned under at the tips, allowing it to look bouncy and fresh. A perfect example of this style is a recent look I did on Dixie D’Amelio.”
How to Get the Old Money Bob
Achieving the perfect Old Money Bob involves the right haircare routine and products. Asil Simsek recommends, “I use the TRUSS Professional Net Mask to nourish and smooth the hair, followed by the TRUSS Professional Amino Miracle for added shine and protection. Finish with the TRUSS Professional Hair Protector to maintain the sleek look.”
For added volume and texture, Danielle Priano suggests, “Finish this hairstyle with the SexyHair BIG Volume Flex Texture Spray to make the hair big and fluffy.” If you need even more volume, a lightweight volumizing mist can work wonders. Dimitris Giannetos’ go-to product is the Moroccanoil Volumizing Mist, which holds volume beautifully across all hair types.
Embrace Quiet Luxury
The Old Money Bob is more than just a hairstyle; it’s a nod to a luxurious, understated aesthetic that defines quiet luxury. With its effortless sophistication, this look is poised to be a timeless favorite.
