Any woman on earth dreams of having thick, luxurious curls. This is not at all surprising, because hair is a lady's business card. A neat, well-groomed hairstyle will add to the asset much more points than the most luxurious clothes or high-quality makeup, made by the most skilled makeup artist.
But, alas and ah, it is hair that most often fails us. Problems with them have a different origin. This is a genetic predisposition, and vitamin deficiency, 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. The time has come for the Buffant. Reviews say that this procedure will allow you to abandon styling, but at the same time look at 100%.
What is a Buffant?
This method of adding volume appeared not so long ago: just a little over a year ago. However, it has already become very popular. Owners of thin or oily hair with "low" roots today choose "Buffant". The basal volume that this manipulation provides will last a long time. And you for some period will forget about the problems with the hairstyle.
"Buffant" is a way to make hair more fluffy due to the basal volume. In this case, you do not need to resort to perm. For this, a special ammonia-free composition is used, which does not harm your curls. This biofeedback is applied only to the roots, stimulating their twisting and thereby splendor.
"Buffant" - salvation for your hair
If you decide to prefer the Buffant procedure, reviews will help you become more familiar with it. However, it is worth remembering that it is not suitable for everyone. If you have lush curls by nature, then you will not notice the result. Only those young women whose hair growth angle is from 10 to 20 degrees will be able to appreciate all the delights of "Buffant". Reviews (photos confirm verbal praises) indicate that the curls after the procedure look natural. You won’t get a pile in the style of a la 60s, but styling problems will be solved.
Buffant will be ideal for:
- Hair deprived of its natural volume at the roots.
- Hair prone to greasy.
- Hair styling poorly.
- Medium length hair (10 cm to 30 cm). It is not possible to do the procedure on too short or long (below the shoulder blades) strands.
Caution! Contraindications
No matter what miracles the Buffant does (the photos before and after clearly demonstrate them), one should not forget that not everyone can do it and not always. So, the procedure is contraindicated in the following cases:
- During pregnancy or lactation.
- During menstruation.
- After a recent injury or surgery.
- In the presence of 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 in a state of extreme stress.
- During heavy hair loss.
- If strands contain natural dyes such as basma or henna.
As you can see, the list is by no means small. Therefore, check yourself for any contraindications before you decide on a Buffant. The reviews (who did this operation without first consulting a specialist, often had the opposite result) especially emphasize that the procedure can be far from harmless. Therefore, it is better to be safe again.
Buffant Technology
For those who are interested in the history of 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 a volume at the roots without the formation of curls.
Have you chosen Buffant? How is root volume created by skilled craftsmen?
Everything is 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 a hat is put on the head. This is a weary hours of waiting.
- Then the hair is washed with a special composition.
- The last stage is drying with a hairdryer.
The Buffant procedure does not cause any difficulties. Reviews indicate that you will spend a minimum of time in the cabin, but the result will not disappoint.
2 root volume technologies
Remember, until recently, all fashionistas sought to try Boost Up on themselves? And now another way. What to choose: “Boost Up” or “Buffant”? Reviews say that there is much in common between these procedures. Judge for yourself:
- Careful attitude to hair. In both cases, gentle compounds are used that do not “eat” the paint.
- The same stages of the procedure: fixing the roots, treatment with formulations, aging, rinsing and the effect of salon styling, which will last several months.
- Session Duration 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
Differences in the 2 methods are still there. Recall the Boost Up. With it, studs are used that create curls-corrugations. It is they who raise their hair. And the upper part of the curls covers these curls, making them invisible to others.
Buffant is done differently. There is no question of any stilettos. Here, the hair is lifted with a comb or curler. Curls are not formed. Therefore, the risk of creasing becomes minimal. Yes, and such a volume looks much more natural.
Procedure results
What problems does Buffant solve? Reviews convince us of its effectiveness and versatility. After all, this method helps:
- Create a natural volume at the roots of the hair.
- Reduce the fat content of the strands due to the drying effect.
- Add durability to styling. Even heavy and oily hair will retain its shape for a long time.

In many ways, the effectiveness of creating volume in the basal zone depends on the use of special tools.
The main thing here is not to make a mistake in choosing. Many salon masters prefer the Paul Mitchell product line.

Hair after the procedure
How to look after ringlets after you made "Buffant"? The reviews of experts give us several recommendations:
- After the procedure, you should refuse to wash your hair for a couple of days. Do not worry, the styling will look stunning. Anyway, now you can wash your hair less often, because Paul Mitchell products are valued for their drying effect, due 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.
- Discard the ironing if you have been using it stably before. Now you do not need it.
- Do not forget that you can enhance the Buffant effect with other procedures. For example, a graded (or, as it is often called, stepwise) haircut will do a good job . It will not only allow you to get rid of split ends, but also provide visual volume. You should not reject relief painting. For example, Ombre or booking. You can use for this purpose and highlighting "shatush".
"Buffant" - the choice of those women who seek additional hair volume. This is not an imitation, but, on the contrary, natural stimulation, which will allow you to enjoy your hair for six months.
