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

The song "Afro Puffs" by The Lady of Rage is named after the hairstyle.
