Natural Afro Puff / High Puff
Coily hair gathered high at the crown into one big rounded puff, edges smoothed and the puff left full. Cloud-like rather than tight or flat. An everyday natural-hair staple that always reads confident.

The high puff is the styling where natural coils are gathered at the very top of the head into a single voluminous puff secured with a wide satin band. The styling reads young, polished, and instantly recognizable as a natural-hair classic. It's the go-to fast-styling option across natural-hair culture for moments when you need to do something with the hair quickly.
It flatters oval, heart, and round faces — the elevated puff position lengthens round faces and frames heart shapes. Type 3 (curls) and Type 4 (coily) hair are the styling's home; works on any natural-length midi or longer.
Low maintenance — pull coils into a single high puff at the crown with a wide satin band, smooth flyaways with edge gel. Three to five minutes. The styling has been continuously worn across Black American hair culture for generations; modern wearers include athletes (Serena Williams wore high puffs through her career), models, and millions of everyday wearers. Pull coils into a single high puff at the crown with a wide satin band.
