The big tease

Words of the day:

TEASE and BACK-COMB

Last week one of the styles I suggested involved some "teasing" or "back-combing."  I should have probably posted this before last weeks entry, but here is a video I found that does a great job of showing you how to tease your own hair.  

                                         

As you can see, the key to teasing is to make it nice and big and then you can comb it to the height you want.  If you don't make it big enough to start, when you go to smooth it, you will lose everything you tried to put in.  Also, if you have trouble getting bobby pins (or as my dear friend Sarah likes to call them, robert pins) to stay in your hair, try just a little bit of back-combing to give the bobby pins something to grab on to.  


Almost every up-do you see starts with some teasing.  Remember this picture from last week?  There is just a little bit of a bump in the crown to give this ponytail something extra.

Try some back-combing this weekend to give yourself some 
major volume at all those holiday parties!
