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.
• 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]}
