A bouffant is one where the hair is lifted and out, standing away from the head, especially at the top, rather than lying flat. It was a high-fashion look in the 1950s and 1960s — a round, airy shape, often held with and spray. You can also hear bouffant used of clothes or sleeves that puff out, but hair is the meaning students meet first. It is a describing word (a bouffant style), and people also say a bouffant for the itself. It is not the same as an afro, which is about tight curls in a rounded shape, and not quite the same as a beehive, which is a tall piled style — though all three make the hair bigger than a flat cut.
蓬鬆高聳的髮型（有人會說「澎澎頭」）
組成From French bouffant, the present participle of bouffer (“to puff”). So the hair is “puffing” away from the head.
