1. Don’t Wash
Your hair is generally easier to manage when it isn’t freshly washed. If you want to learn how to make poofs that always look perfect, you definitely need manageable hair. If you know you want to try this style, just skip a wash. Give it a try, and see if it isn’t way easier to control your hair while you’re styling it.
2. Upside-down Blow Dry
If you just can’t go without washing your hair, that’s okay! There are still hair tips that will help you with your poof. For instance, when you dry your hair, blow dry it upside down. You know, flip your head over so you can get to the underside. That will give your hair some volume right from the beginning, and believe me, the poof requires lots of volume!
Frequently asked questions
3. Grab the Flat Iron
Even if your hair is already straight, you need a flat iron when you’re trying for the poof. You want it as straight as possible. That may be a little difficult if you have curly hair, but if you’ve straightened it before, then you know how to get it to behave! Don’t forget, there are lots of products that can help you.
4. Use Volumizing Products
There are also lots of products that give you additional volume. You don’t have to weigh down your hair with a lot of mousse or gel or anything. Some shampoo and conditioner promising volume will do, and you may want to choose a volumizing spray or spritz as well. Every little bit helps!
5. Learn to Tease
One of the best tips for making poofs is learning how to tease. That’s actually essential for getting volume. Don’t worry, your hair isn’t going to end up looking like a rat’s nest, and you can do it even after you’ve straightened your hair. However, this is also why it’s a great idea to try the poof when you haven’t washed your hair for a day. Your hair will have the kind of texture that lets you make the most out of teasing.
6. Have the Right Tools
For that reason, it’s important to have the right tools when you’re learning how to make poofs. Have a good straightener, a blow dryer with a diffuser, and hair products that will protect your pretty tresses from the heat. You’ll also need a teasing comb, or at least a small toothed comb with the teeth very close together.
7. Don’t Go Overboard
Finally, don’t go overboard! Although Tracy on Jerseylicious is known for saying, «The higher the hair, the closer to heaven» (and for pretending she coined the phrase), that’s obviously not true. Don’t wear a poof so high it turns into a parody! Just make sure yours is flattering to your assets, your face, and your style.
Learning how to make poofs isn’t hard at all! Of course, I can’t reiterate enough how important it is to practice. That way you’ll always get it down effortless, so that it’s perfectly even with lots of volume! Fortunately, if you follow these hair tips for pretty poofs, you’ll have it down in no time. Would you like to try a poof, or will you let the look stay on reality TV?
