You could approach it from a couple of different ways. It wouldn't hurt to watch some tutorials for other big wigs for characters like Peridot (Steven Universe), Yu-Gi-Oh, Momo Yayorozu from My Hero Academia, etc. There's also the book about crazy wigs by Cowbutt Crunchies.

In a nut: You're going to need a base structure. This can be made from worbla, boning, thin wire or plastic mesh etc. Then you'll want to add a base layer to create the foundation and padding -- it'll need to match the color of the hair so it doesn't stick out. Some people use batting, felt, thin foam, etc. Finally, you'll want to style the wig. You achieve the poof the same way you spike a wig: tease the center layer, hairspray it, and cool with a hair dryer. Finally, you'll layer the clean outer layer hair on top and tack it into place using hair spray (and possibly a clear drying glue for stubborn tips). Then profit.
