Both renders are HairGlam output. In the app the style lands on your photo instead.
It is held with a scarf, a band or a length of tights tied at the base, and the coils above are picked out into a ball rather than smoothed down. The tighter the gather, the higher the puff sits and the more tension lands on the hairline, which is where damage shows first. Edges get laid or left natural to taste. Length is not a requirement: even a short afro gathers into a small puff.
- Suitsround, square, oval face shapes. Vertical height at the crown stretches the outline upward, which counters width across the cheeks and jaw.
- Hair typecoily, curly, medium density, thick. Any coil pattern gathers, though thicker hair gives a fuller ball and looser curls need product to stop them dropping into a ponytail shape.
- UpkeepNo cutting schedule, but move the tie position around and keep it loose at the front, because a daily high puff is what thins edges over months.
- Ask forAsk for a high puff gathered at the crown with a wide soft band, picked out into a round shape rather than smoothed flat.
