Morphology

poufed = pouf (transparent) = pouf + ed

Formed by adding the productive adjectival/past-participle suffix '-ed' to 'pouf', giving the clear meaning 'styled into a pouf'.

Etymology

Poufed comes from the simple word puff ('a short burst of air') and from the soft seat called a pouf ('a low, soft cushion'), both giving the image of something gently filled out and rounded. So, poufed describes hair or fabric that has been made full and rounded to give extra volume.
