How To : The Pouf

IMPORTANT: Don't go too crazy with this look. Keep the Pouf a reasonable size!
STEP 1 - LIFT
Start with a two-inch square of hair gathered from the front of your head. Spritz with a volumising spray from the hairline to two inches above the root.




STEP 2 - BLOWDRY
Wrap hair under and around a large round brush. Blow-dry, blasting the roots with cool air - that's what sets the style.






STEP 3 - HEIGHTEN
Build volume by taking small sections of hair and teasing it toward the root. Then smooth the kinked-out hair by gently combing in into pompadour form (A woman's hairstyle formed by sweeping the hair straight up from the forehead into a high, turned-back roll.)




Gather into a pouf and use your fingers to shape and play with the height. Fasten with pins and you're good to go.
