How to Tease Hair for Volume: Fine Hair to Great Volume
For those of you who have thin, flat hair, this tutorial is for you! I’ll be showing you how to tease hair for volume so that your hair doesn’t look shapeless and dull. What does teasing do to your hair? Teasing hair is one of the best tricks to add some much-needed volume. Let’s start!
Tools and materials:
- Backcomb brush
- Heat protectant
- Styling spray
- Hair straightener
1. Prep your hair
If you want to know how to tease your hair, there’s a little bit of prep to do beforehand. First, spray some heat protectant, especially on your ends.
Now, section your hair. You’ll only need to section the top part, just above your eyebrows. Gather your hair, brush it up, and clip.
2. Backcomb your hair
Hold a section of hair upward, and backcomb it by an inch from the root. Then, spray it with a good hair spray.
Repeat this around the section that’s closest to the clipped hair. Then, wait for the hair spray to dry.
3. Use the hair straightener
Now, hold a section of hair upward, clamp the hair straightener from the root and glide it to the ends, sliding it down in a half-circle motion. See my video from 3:58 minutes to see the technique in action.
Repeat this throughout all the backcombed sections.
4. Repeat
Now, section off more of your hair from the top part. and repeat the exact process with the new pieces. Backcomb, spritz your favorite hairspray, wait for it to dry, and straighten.
Once the second round is done, section off more hair from the top, and… you’ve guessed it - repeat!
Now, flip the remaining top section of hair over and adjust as you desire.
5. Backcomb the top and sides
So, now it’s all about the finishing touches. I am backcombing the top back part of my hair and repeating the process just as I did with the other sections from underneath. I also backcombed some side sections.
6. Straighten bangs
Next, straighten your bangs.
7. Scrunch with fingers
Your hair may seem a little out of place, so simply scrunch the roots with your fingers, so it looks natural and cohesive.
