To back comb the front of your hair, gently push your comb down through sections of hair near the roots to create volume.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
-
Section the Hair: Isolate the section of hair at the front that you want to backcomb. This is typically the hair closest to your forehead.
-
Hold the Section: Hold the section of hair taut and upwards.
-
Comb Gently: Take a fine-toothed comb and, starting a few inches from the scalp, gently push the comb down towards the roots. Don't force it; the goal is to create a slight tease.
-
Repeat: Repeat this combing motion two or three times per section. Remember, gentle is key to avoid damage.
-
Smooth the Top Layer: Once you've backcombed the desired sections, smooth the top layer of hair over the teased sections to conceal the backcombing and create a polished look. This ensures a smooth, voluminous appearance rather than a tangled one.
-
Set with Hairspray: Lightly spray hairspray on the backcombed area to hold the volume in place.
