11 Step by step puff hairstyle tutorials

puff hair style

There are a few ways to puff up your hair. Most commonly the puff is done at the front. Ponytails, high buns, loose buns and half buns are a good combination for such front puffs. An alternative option is to poof up your hair at the back. Usually, on this site, I use a puff to refer to the front and poof to refer to the back. But you might find various terminologies while browsing. In any case you, below, you will also find some puff tutorials for poofs at the back.

Step by Step Pics for Different Puff Hairstyles
#1: The simplest way to do a puff
The simplest way to make a puff is to pull the whole front section of your hair back. Form a wave and secure it place with a bobby pin or hair clip. It might require some even brushing to get that smoothened effect. Let the rest of your hair down. As you can see in the pic below you end up with a tidy look that can be worn anywhere from college to the office.

The next most simple thing to do after making the basic puff is to combine it with a ponytail. In the tutorial below the hair is first middle parted and then a rectangle of hair is used to create an exaggerated quiff. Once you have your quiff all you need to do is tie up the rest of your hair into a ponytail or half bun for a classy look.
