Bouffant hairstyle

The bouffant hairstyle is characterized by hair raised high on the head. Your locks would be brushed into a dome-like shape. While it doesn’t sound particularly cool on paper, it nevertheless is one of the most famous hairdos ever. Its origins date back to the 18th century. Marie Antoinette was said to have had this hairdo because she wanted to make her hair look thicker. The style became popular in the U.S. in the ’60s. Jackie Kennedy used to have the same hairstyle, too.
