Bouffant

A bouffant is a really fancy and puffy hairstyle that was really popular a long time ago. It's when you have lots of hair and you make it big and tall by puffing it up with a special type of comb. It makes your hair look like it's a big round ball on top of your head. Some people also use a special kind of cloth called a "hair net" to help hold all of their hair up and keep it in place. Today, some people still like to wear their hair in a bouffant style for special occasions like weddings or proms, but mostly it's just something that people used to wear a long, long time ago.
