Oooooooohhhhhhhh—Kay.
So I’m sure that if you’ve spent any amount of time in cosmotology school, you’ve read books on the how-to’s of hair styling, or you’ve become a fan of my lovely blog, you’ve been told to “tease it.” Well, this isn’t just a kinky sex-act; it’s the vital foundation for creating a completely amazing hairstyle. I, for one, have very fine hair; this being said, it must be “teased” almost every time I decide on a style, whether that be a simple ponytail, or massive spikes!
Product list: Hairspray, Hair spiker, Gel, Root-lifting spray, Fine-toothed comb, styling wax (.
1)After washing the hair, apply gel liberally to the shaft & ends of the hair (not the roots. That’ll make it look gross). Apply root-lifting spray (I prefer the spray to other root lifters because it doesn’t make your hair as heavy feeling).
2)Blowdry the hair upside-own so that it gets über-voluminous!
3)Pull out sections of hair, spray with spiker/spray, and begin combing the hair from tip to root. This essentially tangles the hair until it’s thick and honeycomb-like. Continue until all the hair is mussed n’ fussed, twisted and tousled.
4)Now, you should look like a lion. If you don’t, go back and lion-it-up!
5)Use a thick-toothed brush or comb to gently comb out the tangles until your hair is smooth, but still voluminous. Some folks prefer to leave the underside teased so that the volume stays in tact. Should this be the case, make sure that the top layer is thick and/or even enough to keep the bottom layer from showing.
6)Now, you’re free to style as you please, and don’t forget this technique when you’re learning how to do various styles!
Good Luck! ^_^
