How to Tease Hair in Under 5 Minutes

Start by sectioning off a 2-inch wide section of hair at the crown of your head.

Apply Nexxus Air Lift Finishing Spray to your roots to add volume and texture. 

Use your teasing comb to backcomb section by section.

Finish with a mist of Nexxus Maxximum Finishing Spray to hold the volume in palce. 

Using a comb, take a small section of hair from your crown or wherever you’re looking to create volume and lift.

Lift your chosen section of hair and spray it with Bed Head by TIGI Oh Bee Hive! Dry Shampoo. This will refresh your strands and give you a clean and fresh base to work with.

Hold the hair up in one hand and using your other hand, comb the hair from the mid-lengths down towards the roots pushing firmly as you go.

Divide the hair as you go and repeat this process. Hold your strands at a ninety-degree angle to ensure your backcombing is even for all sections.

Double check your teased sections are backcombed well enough by trying to push the end of a tail comb through them from front to back.

If your hair is well teased, the comb should not be able to pass through.

The trick to learning how to tease hair for volume is to gently use a paddle brush. Smooth over the surface of the teased hair sections with your brush, so that they look sleek and frizz-free.
And remember: try to do this carefully, so that the volume remains intact.

Start by washing and conditioning your hair before you tease.  Try Love Beauty and Planet Volume And Bounty Coconut Water & Mimosa Flower Shampoo and Conditioner. Brush your hair and part it how you would normally wear your hair. Wait until your hair is at least 90% dry before you start teasing.

Separate your hair into small and workable sections to create the teased hair look. This starts by using a brush or a comb to tease your hair underneath in an upward motion, creating the teased look. Then, go on the top part of your hair, repeating the upward comb motion. Do this multiple times per section to create the volume you desire.

Continue the teasing process as you use your comb to create big and voluminous hair. Brush down any wayward strands or frizz with a soft brush.

Now, how easy was that? Spritz your hair with some hairspray to lock in the style. We like the TRESemmé Tres Two Hold Extra Hold Hairspray, which works to hold onto your style without leaving your hair sticky or stiff.

Before creating your fun and stylish teased 80s hair hairstyle, wash your hair with  Love Beauty And Planet Indian Lilac & Clove Leaf Shampoo and Conditioner to cleanse and add shine. 

Use a detangling brush to remove any knots or tangles from your hair. Then apply some of the Nexxus Styling Mousse Plus to your hair for some added volume. Work the product throughout your hair from the roots to the ends.

Blow-dry your hair until it’s completely dry.

Using a hair wand, curl sections of your hair away from your face to create body, texture and movement to your style.
