Every woman on earth dreams of having thick, luxurious curls. This is not at all surprising, because hair is a lady's calling card. A neat, well-groomed hairstyle will add far more points to your asset than the most luxurious clothes or the best makeup done by the most skilled makeup artist.
But, alas and ah, it is the hair that most often fails us. The problems with them are of different origin. This is a genetic predisposition, and beriberi, and age-related changes. So women have to spend a lot of time and money on styling, combing, gels, mousses, varnishes.
However, now you can do otherwise. It's time for Buffant. Reviews claim that this procedure will allow you to refuse styling, but at the same time look 100%.
What is "Buffant"?
This method of adding volume appeared not so long ago: just over a year ago. However, it has already become very popular. Owners of thin or oily hair with "low" roots today choose "Buffant". The root volume, which this manipulation provides, will last for a long time. And for a while you will forget about problems withhairstyle.
"Buffant" is a way to make hair more lush due to the basal volume. In this case, you do not need to resort to chemical perm at all. For this, a special ammonia-free composition is used that does not harm your curls. This biological agent is applied only to the roots, stimulating their twisting and thus splendor.
"Buffant" - salvation for your hair
If you decide to give preference to the Bouffant procedure, the reviews will help you get to know it in more detail. However, it is worth remembering that it is not suitable for everyone. If you have naturally lush curls, then you will not notice the result. Only those young ladies whose hair growth angle is from 10 to 20 degrees will be able to appreciate all the charms of Bouffant. Reviews (photos confirm verbal praises) indicate that the curls after the procedure look natural. You won't get a '60s bouffant, but styling problems will be solved.
"Buffant" would be perfect for:
- Hair lacking natural volume at the roots.
- Hair prone to oiliness.
- Hair that is difficult to style.
- Hair of medium length (from 10 cm to 30 cm). It is impossible to do the procedure on too short or long (below the shoulder blades) strands.
Caution! Contraindications
No matter what miracles Buffant does (before and after photos clearly demonstrate them), we should not forget that not everyone and not always can do it. So, the procedure is contraindicated in the following cases:
- During pregnancy orlactation.
- During the period of menstruation.
- Following recent injury or surgery.
- If you have cancer.
- While taking antibiotics or hormones.
- In the acute form of the disease, especially if it is accompanied by a decrease in immunity and fever.
- If you are under a lot of stress.
- During profuse hair loss.
- If there are natural dyes such as basma or henna on the strands.
As you can see, the list is by no means small. Therefore, check yourself for contraindications before you decide on "Buffant". Reviews (those who did this operation without prior consultation with a specialist often had the opposite result) especially emphasize that the procedure can be far from harmless. Therefore, it is better to play it safe once again.
Technology "Buffant"
For those who are interested in the history of the Buffant, it should be said that the method was developed by Alexander Butenin, a Moscow technologist. The peculiarity of the method is that the procedure lasts only an hour and allows you to create volume at the roots without the formation of curls.
Did you choose "Buffant"? How is the basal volume created by skillful craftsmen?
It's very simple here:
- First, the roots are fixed on special Velcro curlers.
- A protective agent is applied to the entire length of the hair so that they also do not twist along with the roots.
- Next, the roots are treated with a special biocomposition.
- For 20-25 minutes ona hat is put on the head. These are agonizing hours of waiting.
- Then the hair is washed with a special compound.
- The last step is blow-drying.
The procedure "Buffant" does not cause any difficulties. Reviews indicate that you will spend a minimum of time in the salon, but the result will not disappoint.
2 root volume technologies
Remember, until recently, all fashionistas wanted to try the "Boost Up" on themselves? And now here's another way. What to choose: "Boost Up" or "Buffant"? Reviews claim that there is a lot in common between these procedures. Judge for yourself:
- Caring for your hair. In both cases, sparing compounds are used that do not "eat" the paint.
- Same stages of the procedure: fixing the roots, processing with compounds, exposure, rinsing and the effect of salon styling, which will last for several months.
- Duration of sessions. Both one and the other procedure can be completed in 1-2 hours. It all depends on the condition of the hair and its density.
It would seem that "Boost Up" and "Buffant" are twin brothers. But this is far from the case.
"Boost Up" and "Buffant": the difference
There are still differences in the 2 ways. Let's remember "Boost Up". It uses hairpins that create curls-corrugations. They are the ones that lift the hair. And the upper part of the curls covers these curls, making them invisible to others.
"Buffant" is done differently. There are no studs to speak of. Here the hair is lifted with a bouffant or curler. Curls are notare formed. Therefore, the risk of formation of creases becomes minimal. Yes, and this volume looks much more natural.

What problems does Buffant solve? Reviews convince us of its effectiveness and versatility. After all, this method helps:
- Create natural volume at the hair roots.
- Reduce the fat content of the strands due to the drying effect.
- Add durability to styling. Even heavy and greasy hair will retain its shape for a long time.

Let's talk about biocomposition
To a large extent, the effectiveness of creating volume in the root zone depends on the use of special tools.
The main thing here is not to make a mistake in choosing. Many salon stylists love the Paul Mitchell line.
What are its benefits? Why do experts praise these fixing cocktails so much? This question is very easy to answer. Paul Mitchell products have the following features:

- No harmful preservatives. Here you will not find ammonia, thioglycolic acid, or other harmful substances.
- Paul Mitchell products are not only safe, they also have a healing effect, which is created due to the presence of essential oils, vitamins, phytoextracts in the composition.
- The risk of burning the hair is reduced to zero, as the composition does not last more than half an hour on the hair.
- All products are hypoallergenic. In addition, a pleasant fragrance eliminates specific aromas, such as the corrosive smell of a perm.
Hair after treatment
How to care for curls after you have made "Buffant"? Reviewsexperts give us some recommendations:
- After the procedure, you should stop washing your hair for a couple of days. Don't worry, the styling will look stunning. And in general, you can now wash your hair less often, because Paul Mitchell products are valued for their drying effect, thanks to which the hair stays clean longer.
- You can dye strands, but for this you need to choose proven coloring compounds. No cheap paints, as well as henna and basma.
- Give up ironing if you have used it consistently before. Now you won't need it.
- Don't forget that you can enhance the Bouffant effect with other treatments. For example, a graduated (or, as it is often called, stepped) haircut will do a good job. It will not only get rid of split ends, but also provide visual volume. Relief coloring should not be rejected either. For example, Ombre or bronzing. You can use for this purpose and highlighting "shatush".
"Buffant" is the choice of those women who strive for additional hair volume. This is not an imitation, but, on the contrary, a natural stimulation that will allow you to enjoy your hairstyle for half a year.
