In honor of lazy day hair style week, I'm sharing with you guys my laziest boringest style ever:
The high puff.
Yes, yes, I know that I swore off my high puffs in my Worse of 2015 list. But...
I just can't quit it.
This must be what Cookie Monster feels like when he goes on a diet...
The good news is that I figured out a way to rock my worse/best style without damaging my hair (so far).
But first, I had to promise myself was to never NEVER...
Like ever...
Go more than a day without re-moisturizing my curls.
I'm just so prone to laziness...
Anywhos---here are my secrets to the perfect high puff:
- Start with stretched hair- My hair was previously stretched using curlformers.
- Moisturize- I lightly mist my hair with my DIY Hair Moisturizer and applied my favorite leave-in conditioner.
- Seal with a oil or butter- Because I know that my ends dry out fast, I liberally added this hair butter to my ends.The butter also defines my ends so that they don't get tooo frizzy.
- Lay your edges- I'm not much of an edge control girl, but when I wear a puff, I like my edges neat and laid. Today I used a little Curls Blueberry Bliss Curl Control Paste.
- Gentle metal free extra wide hair tie- my secret to a giant high puff is to center it at the very top of my head with an extra wide hair tie. The density of my hair keeps the hair tie in place without it being too tight. This is my current fave hair tie.

Thoooosseeeeee cuurrlllsss! Your hair is so dense, love it!
ReplyDeleteThanks chica! I feel like I have a million of the world's tiniest curls in my hair!
DeleteYour curls are really popping!!!! Yes for puffs! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks chica! Even though I did this puff on stretched hair---it totally looks like a wash and go!
DeleteYour puff is cute! I can't really do a puff. With my curls bring a little looser, having lower density and my length, it doesn't come out right do my lazy day is a bun
ReplyDeleteI love a good bun too! I feel like I do buns on lazy days AND I do buns when I'm trying to look extra special. The high bun is a win win. LOL.
DeleteThanks for stopping by chica!
Ummm...there is sooo not anything boring about that gorgeous puff! You better work! LOL
ReplyDeleteLOLOLOL!!! Thanks Andrea! You totally made my day! Fingers crossed that I don't have a mountain of tangles to tackle thanks to this gorgeous puff!
DeleteYour curls are popping girl!
ReplyDeleteThanks Tomi!
DeleteI love puffs and I love how your tiny coils/curls were popping. I'm currently spotting my laziest style which is braids, the only thing I get to do is oil my scalp & edges.

Thanks Lisa! I love a good protective style! My fear is that I'll become toooo lazy with it. LOL.
DeleteThose little coils in your puff are so pretty!
ReplyDeleteAwww!! Thanks Sandra! I feel like it's a testament to my regimen working when I see those tiny curls. Last year, my puffs were filled with fizzy fuzzy ends so I'm guessing that I'm going something better now!
DeleteThat's the cutest puff. Have you tried doing a puff after styling with your curlfomers?

Thanks Lebo! I have actually! But because my hair is getting longer...the puff sort of flops over instead of standing straight up. So...I bun it! You can check out my tutorial here: Curlformer Side Swept Bun
