Afro puffs are a hair style usually consisting of two "puffs" of hair, one on each side of the head, like smaller versions of an afro,[1] from which it evolved.[2]
The style is created by parting the hair down the middle and using a hair tie on each side.[3]
Variants include zig-zag partings and multiple puffs.[2]
In popular culture
edit- The song "Afro Puffs" by The Lady of Rage is named after the hairstyle.
- On Central Park (TV series), the character Molly Tillerman (voiced by Kristen Bell in season one and Emmy Raver-Lampman from season two and onwards) has the hairstyle. Molly also draws herself in comic books as the superhero Fista-Puffs, whose Afro-Puffs are the source of her powers.[4][5]
