When elegance meets ease, you get a high puff—one of the most effortlessly regal hairstyles in the natural hair playbook. It’s quick, protective, and undeniably beautiful, and Finessed is here to remind you: low-effort does not mean low-impact.

In this tutorial by Janae Harris, she walks us through the art of creating a high puff—a simple yet stunning style that not only highlights natural texture but honors the shape, strength, and individuality of coily and kinky hair types.

👑 Why the High Puff Deserves Her Flowers

The high puff isn’t just a quick fix—it’s a full look. Whether you’re heading to a client meeting, brunch with the girls, or your nighttime wind-down, this style holds up and holds space for your natural beauty.

Here’s why we’re obsessed:

• Effortless Elevation: With just a few tools and a satin-friendly band, you can finesse your look in under 10 minutes.
• Scalp-Safe & Edge-Friendly: Unlike tight buns or over-manipulated styles, a puff allows your hairline to breathe and your coils to rest.
• Versatile & Protective: Perfect for transitioners, lazy naturals (we see you, sis), or as a break from twists, braids, and slick styles.
• Facial Framing That Flatters: The lift draws attention to cheekbones, brows, and natural bone structure—no contour required.

💡 Puff Pro Tips from Finessed

To keep your puff soft, styled, and safe:

• 🧴 Moisturize first: Never puff on dry hair. Use a water-based leave-in, aloe mist, or light spritz to keep the hair pliable and hydrated.
• 👑 Use a satin scarf or band: Cotton can cause friction and breakage. Opt in for satin-lined accessories to protect your strands.
• ✨ Define your edges with intention: Whether you like them brushed out or baby-hair-sculpted, choose a gentle, alcohol-free styler.
• 💨 Don’t over-tighten: High tension = long-term thinning. Snatch the look, not your follicles.
