How to get big full hair
March 7, 2009
Everyone loves a party. It’s a great reason to splurge on a new dress and shoes, and maybe even a makeover. What a lot of us forget, in nice new outfits, is that we are wearing our same old hair. It’s tempting, once you find a style that works for you, to stick with it, but a little experimentation for a party is painless, and can be fun.
It’s also the least expensive way to achieve a fresh look. Many of us are a little unsure of how to create a new style. Even the language is unfamiliar: French lacing, cushioning, back combing, and teasing. Teasing the hair adds volume, is easy to do, and is a great place to start your exploration. Here is how to do it.
Before you start
To begin with, you need to wash your hair and let it air-dry. If you have very fine hair, you may want to add some gel to hold the style. Make sure it’s dry and brushed well. Teasing wet hair can severely damage it.
If you are going to set your hair, do it before teasing. Decide on the look you want. Teasing adds volume to hair. You can add it all over, or just to the crown for a “beehive” effect.
Start teasing
Start with the hair at the crown, and separate a section about an inch wide. This is easier, and more precise, if you use the tail of a comb. If you want, use clips to keep the rest of your hair out of the way.
Holding the hair out straight from the head, gently brush the underside towards the head. Keep a space of about five inches from the scalp.
You are creating a tangle that will provide volume to your hairstyle. You want a tangle that is strong enough to stay in, but not so strong that it breaks the hair, or knots the comb in the hair. Work in the middle of the strand, leaving both ends un-teased. Keep teasing until you think you have achieved the volume you want (in other words, the tangle is large enough).
Lightly spray the section with hairspray and let it dry. Let that section down gently. Now here is the tricky part: you want to gently brush the un-teased end of the section you just finished, without touching the teased part. Not the scalp, just the outer ends.
Move that section aside and repeat the process working around the head. You will find it easiest to work from top to bottom, starting at the crown, then each side.
To finish
When you are finished, you will want to make sure the hair is smooth over the teased parts. Make sure you check the back with a mirror. You want your hair to look full, not witchy. If you want still more volume, scrunch your hair with your hands. Polish your ‘do’ with a final spray of hair polish for an extra shine.
