The best thing about a bouffant is that it’s versatile. Celebrity hairstylist Gregg Lennon Jr. says that a bouffant can be styled on anything from a bob to a long layered cut. As long as you can wrap it around a roller or curling tongs, you can achieve this larger-than-life hairstyle. Celebrity hairstylist and founder of Sally Hershberger Nomad Salon, Sally Hershberger, says it’s easier to achieve more volume and height with long hair, while for shorter hair you may need additional techniques or styling aids to raise your hair to the roof, such as hair paddings, hair pieces, or hair donuts.
