ABOUT PUFFCUFF
PuffCuff LLC was founded in Romeoville, IL in August of 2013. The company made its first sale in 2014 and subsequently moved to Georgia in June of 2014. The PuffCuff Hair Clamp is manufactured in the U.S.A., and can be purchased online via this website, Amazon.com, Sally Beauty, Walmart.com, in addition to a collection of other independently owned beauty retailers.
We developed the PuffCuff Hair Clamp with the simple idea of creating a tool that makes it easy to achieve stylish looks without stressing curly hair or causing pain from pulling and tension. This tool not only needed to put a stop to tension headaches and curl breakage, but it also had to be a sanitary, durable, and affordable option for curly-haired consumers to be a viable replacement to hair-damaging elastic bands.
While a simple idea in theory, most hair accessories on the market are created for straight hair, making the PuffCuff a first of its kind. Unlike curly hair, straight hair only comes in one type: straight. Meanwhile, curls come in a spectrum that ranges from loose waves to tightly curled coils. The PuffCuff is designed to work with a variety of hair types from 2c to 4c, allowing our curlfriends to create many beautiful styles without headache-causing cinching, pulling, ripping, or tearing of their hair.
