To be clear, fluffy hair is not the same as poofy hair. Fluffy hair is achieved with the help of a little product and technique. "Fluffy hair emphasizes volume and airiness," Sharpon says. "Light product application is used to keep [the hair] from becoming weighed down." According to Jamila Powell, who is the founder of Naturally Drenched and owner of Maggie Rose Salon, poofy hair can have a rougher texture, which is often described as frizzy and difficult to manage.
