1. Things you need for a Puff Hair Style

The things that you need to make a puff hair style step by step are very simple. It's mostly about the technique so you don' need a lot of gadgets to make that puff. Here are the stuff you are going to need:

• A comb.
• Bobby pins.
• Hairspray (optional).
• Serum (optional).
• A tiny clutch.

2. A General Tutorial For a Puff Hair Style

Whatever pre-wedding, wedding or post-wedding ceremony it is, a puff hairstyle can never go wrong with any occasion. You can go puff with open hair, braids, different buns styles or a ponytail. So here's a general tutorial on puff hair style step by step you need to know:

• Comb your hair to untangle them thoroughly.
• Take a small section of your hair from the front and pull it back.
• If you have an oval or long face, take a bigger section. For round faces, a smaller section of hair should be picked.
• Twist and roll the selected part of your hair 2-3 times (not more or else it would cause discomfort) to keep it from falling off its place.
• If you want a front puff, push it outwards. For a side, puff takes the section of your hair towards the side.
• The more you push the section of your hair, the higher is the puff. So move it very slowly to see how high you want your puff to be. Because puling the hair back could create a mess and may need a do-over.
• Use bobby pins and small clutch clips to secure your puff.
• You don't need hairspray for an open hairstyle. If you're combining your puff hairstyle with other styles, only then use a spray to set your hair well.
