bouffants
Teased voluminous styles
Bouffants are hairstyles teased and styled to puff out from the head, creating volume and height.
Popular in the 1960s, the look requires backcombing and often hairspray to maintain its shape: She spent an hour on her bouffant before the dance.
The style has become associated with retro glamour and period aesthetics.
