When you figure out how to properly comb your hair, your life will become more comfortable. All you have to do is adjust your combing process so that it is more helpful than harmful to your hair. With just a few small changes to your styling routine, you can transform your hair from flat and soft to bold and lively.
I find that for my smooth and fine hair, I need a bit of roughness and texture to keep my hair any volume. I like to spray my dry strands with a little dry shampoo or texture spray first to provide some extra grip to the strands. Once, your hair is completely ready, it's time to make fun of it. Be sure to take your time and use this style slowly. You don't want to end up looking like a bird's nest. Want to know what else you can do to gain volume without causing excessive damage? This is how you should comb your hair to avoid damaging your hair.
1. Start With Dry, Cooled Hair
When you need to comb your hair, completely dry hair can begin your combing. According to ESalon.com, wet hair is more prone to damage and breakage, so comb your hair only when it is dry to keep your hair in its best condition.
2. Choose The Right Tool
If your hair is entangled, combing it will be a painful process. Choosing the comb that suits you will make you feel more comfortable. Personally, I like to use a combing brush with fine tips and thicker bristles. I find that pointed handles are great for creating even parts, while the bristles help create a more complete tease.
3. Comb The Hair Throughly Before Teasing
This step may seem counterproductive as you'll be adding in tease, however, starting off with a smooth canvas is essential for styling. brushing your hair prior to teasing helps to minimize tangles a.k.a. further hair damage.
4. Work In Small Sections
Get the most bang for your buck by working in smaller sections when teasing the hair. This allows your comb to concentrate on a particular section, which will give you more localized volume in that area. Doing this all over the hair will ensure maximum volume and lift.
5. Spray Before You Play
After you have grabbed a section of hair, spritz the section with a small amount of texturizing spray or hairspray to add hold. spraying the hair with product before teasing will help to give a "foundation for volume" without causing excess damage to the hair.
6. Tease Properly
Once your section is properly sprayed, play your comb behind the section, and slowly comb the hair back towards your scalp. Now, don't get aggressive. recommends that the easiest way to tease without causing loads of damage is to only comb downwards (not up and down). This method causes less tangles and damage, while still adding volume. Basically, you just want to mush you strands as closely to your scalp as possible.
7.Don't Forget The Back
A huge mistake that happens when teasing our hair is that we can sometimes forget to tease the section behind our crown a.k.a. the back of the head. This mistake is understandable as you really only see the front sections when looking in a mirror. However, make sure to get an even, realistic looking style by backcombing all the sections of your hair.
8. Smooth The Top Sections
Once your hair is thoroughly teased, be sure to smooth down the top sections of the hair with your comb. You don't want to walk out the door with your hair all standing up as if you've been struck by lightning.
9. styling Hairspray
Tease and hair spray are complementary. Use hairspray to lock your hair volume in place.
