FUSSA-RI ふっさり
Meanings
Describes an abundant amount of fine, relatively long hair, fur, or similar strands, often hanging softly.
Examples
Eyelash extensions gave me beautifully full lashes.
まつ毛エクステをして、ふっさりまつ毛を手に入れた。
Persian cats have wonderfully full, soft fur that feels good to touch.
ペルシャ猫は毛がふっさりしていて触りごこちがいい。
Dogmatic Opinion
Hair. That is what I think of.
There is a lot of it, and the individual strands are soft, fine, and somewhat long.
Interestingly, I do not necessarily imagine extremely high density at the roots. The impression comes more from the abundant, flowing mass of the strands.
It is very close to FUSA-FUSA.
Proximate Expression
fluffy
tuft of hair or feathers(thick and voluminous)

For Japanese Learners
Full, thick and full, luxuriant, bushy, and abundant may fit. For eyelashes, full or lush is natural; for fur, thick, full, or luxuriant. FUSSA-RI emphasizes an abundant soft mass of hair-like strands rather than simply measuring density.
