How to Tease Your Hair: 15 Steps

Teasing your hair can create a fun, dramatic look with lots of volume. It’s easy to do and can make a big impact on your overall appearance. Whether you’re styling an updo or just want to add some extra flair to your everyday look, follow these 15 steps to effectively tease your hair for maximum results.
1. Start with clean, dry hair. Wash and condition your hair before beginning the teasing process.
2. Apply a heat protectant spray or serum to help protect your hair from damage during heat styling.
3. Blow dry your hair, focusing on the roots for added lift.
4. Choose a small section of hair to begin teasing. This will typically be at the crown of your head, but you can choose any area where you want added volume.
5. Hold the section of hair straight up, away from your head.
6. Use a fine-tooth comb or a teasing brush and insert it about halfway down the length of the section (around 2-3 inches from the root).
7. Lightly push down on the section toward the root using short, gentle strokes.
8. Work your way down to the roots, until you achieve the desired level of volume.
9. Apply a light coat of hairspray to set and hold the teased hair in place.
10. Move on to the next section of hair and repeat the process.
11. Continue this method around the crown or any other areas where you want added volume.
12. Once all desired sections have been teased, gently smooth and blend the teased sections with a brush or comb – but be careful not to brush out all of the teasing!
13. After blending, shape and style your hair as desired – whether that’s an updo or leaving it down and loose for a casual look.
14. Finish off by applying a strong hold hairspray all over your hair to lock in your voluminous, teased style.
15. Practice and experiment with different sections and levels of teasing to find the right look for your hair type and personal preferences.
Now you’re ready to rock a fabulous teased hairstyle! Remember, practice makes perfect, so don’t be discouraged if your first attempt doesn’t yield perfect results. Keep experimenting and have fun with your new voluminous look.
