Hair teasing is a way of styling hair with an aim to create volume or other hairstyles such as those in the 80s and 60s. It is also commonly known as backcombing <\/strong>or ratting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hair teasing involves combing the hair repeatedly towards the scalp until it knots up or creates volume. With the right set of skills and tools, you can quickly tease curly, thin, thick, short, long hair, or even dreadlocks without damage.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Backcombing differs from normal combing in that, you reverse the direction of your comb from the tip to the root. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Giving you hair a nice hair lift. You should tease your hair so that there is an added height to your hair. Big hair looks pretty good and most girls find it more attractive. Therefore, you should tease your hair any time you wish to have it appear as though it has an increased height.<\/li>
  2. Styling your hair is another reason you should tease your hair. You want to look fashionable in your hair and hence a sure way of keeping to that is by backcombing. Teasing makes your hair free and flexible for styling.<\/li>

      How to Tease Long & Short Hair for Volume<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      Teasing hair for volume is one main reason you should not stop doing it. It could be done using either a comb or brush. The following steps serve as a guideline on how to tease your hair for volumes;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      1. You should wash your hair then after drying it comb it thoroughly. <\/strong>You want to tease your hair without damaging the hair roots. That is exactly why you must be keen enough not to comb your hair until it dries well.  Curling the hair is also an additional style to your voluminous hair.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
        1. Single out the first section of the hair to be teased. <\/strong>It is always advisable to tease your hair in bits or rather sections. It should also be done systematically depending on your intentions. Should you want to create volumes on the top part of your head, you only tease that section of the head. Otherwise, if you wish to create volumes on your entire head, it is more effective when you work your way down from the top part of the head. Teasing your hair in sections leaves no hair unattended to. However the size of the sections chosen should neither be too small nor too huge. A manageable size is 2 inches wide. A Size smaller than that would lead to too much time consumption.<\/li>
        2. You need to hold the hair section up in order to start teasing. <\/strong>You should use one hand to hold the section of the hair up and the other hand to hold the brush or comb just a few inches above the scalp.<\/li>
        3. Tease your hair. <\/strong>While still holding your hair up, comb it toward the scalp continuously. Since in this case you wish to create hair volumes, repeat the combing until the volume you desire is achieved. If you have curly hair, then only minimal teasing is necessary. You should ensure the strength with which you comb the hair is enough to create firm tangles but again, you should use too much force as that will tamper with the hair causing hair rips.<\/li>
        4. Hide the teased tangles. <\/strong>You should do this using your fingers while being careful enough not to flatten the tangles. You can now brush the section of the hair that has not yet been teased.<\/li>
        5. Work on the other hair sections. <\/strong>You do this by first of all setting aside the already teased hair section. The above steps for the first section are followed as well. You are now free to put your voluminous hair into all desired styles while still maintaining the big hair volume.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
