Hi my name is Lauren, and today I'm going to teach you how to do a Bouffant.. It was a very great style.. It was known for its actual for the height the volume.. Now doing a Bouffant is not exactly one of the most comfortable things to do. Although you know pain is sometimes beauty., What you would normally do is you would take a shower at night time. You would then place gel within damp hair and then roll it such as this.. You would roll the entire top section coming back either using Velcro, rollers, plastic rollers or at times back, then they actually used cans. Soda cans. You know canned foods.. They would save the cans and roll their hair with them in order to create a little bit of a curl, but mostly you are looking to achieve volume. For those who do not have gel a little home remedy in order to actually set your hair was to Take two cups of water and a quarter cup of sugar and put it in a sauce, pan together. Heat it up to a boil and then let it cool. And once it cools it becomes a bit more of a setting lotion. And you can actually put that in your hair and then roll your hair with it.. Now the next morning after you would wake up, you would simply take out your rollers. You would grab either a teasing brush which looks similar to this or a teasing come that has like those little the edges.. What it does is. It helps also just kind of back comb and tease it into a bit of a matted area which will sustain your volume.. Then you would also have the lift.. You would grab a section of hair using either one.. You would hold it tight on top and then you would work the brush down and it actually goes in a three stroke. Motion. You do one two three push all the way: down. One two three. Push all the way. Down. You see how that's already creating volume You would work this way, moving from the crown of the head, all the way back or all the way forward to the front of the hair line.. Once you got the bit of the volume - and you continue your teasing all the way up - you would want to cover that little bit of that matted area right there., So you would actually tease all the way through and a trick that I do is I loosen My tease a little bit as I come up to this front area.. You can then use your lift to kind of brush through and smooth out those ends. So that way, you do not see the teasing that lies underneath, and that is how you would create a Bouffant

himani bedi: although you didn't finish the sides but the way you explained how to the teasing/backcombing was good.when i do the hairstyles and use hair sprays the hair gets very frizzy and the barrel curls dont look smooth. any tips on how to do them neat.

Ninette111: she should be wearing a lighter color so the hair doesnt dissapear into her clothes, and you would be able to actually see her teasing.

Guro: nice
