This timeless hairstyle is a true crowd-pleaser. It always appears at the top of the list, and it never goes out of fashion. The style is loved by all for its ability to be classy while keeping things simple and of minimal effort. To achieve this look, simply gather your hair and secure it at the crown of your head using a hair tie or elastic band. Fluff up the puff for extra volume and style with any accessory of choice for extra chic.

Channel your inner ballerina with this chic, sophisticated style. Start by taking out a little section of hair at the front for your bangs, then create a high ponytail by gathering the rest of your hair at the crown of your head. Twist the ponytail around itself to form a bun and secure any loose ends with bobby pins.
You can add a little bit of curl cream or defining gel to your bangs to define the hair and add a touch of softness to the look. Let the bangs fall and frame your face to give you a polished look.

This style adds a touch of drama and personality to the well-known high puff. Divide your hair into two parts being up and down and gather each side into a puff of its own. This style adds a bit of structure to the face, giving it a lifted look that fits all face shapes perfectly.

Elevate your high puff with some definition. Section out the center front part of your hair and leave it out for the bang, then take the rest of your hair and put it into a neat, fluffy puff. Take the section left out for the bang, and put it into a single flat twist, curling it up and letting the hair fall on one side of your head for a side bang effect. Secure the twist with bobby pins and fluff it up for a touch of fiery femininity.

Embrace your playful, creative side with this fun and flirty look. Divide your hair into two sections and create high puffs on either side. Fluff up the hair to add volume and leave out a few strands at the sides and back of your hair to add a bit of fun and messiness to the look.

The finger coils/flexi rods are a great way to add a touch of definition to your afro as they mimic your natural curl pattern, but in a lengthier, stretched out way. Apply your preferred styling product and use your fingers or flexi rods to create defined coils all over your head. Leave out a generous section of hair around the face for a touch of softness.
