Things You'll Need:
- Hair dryer
- Vent brush
- Hair straightener
- Rat-tail comb
- Hairspray
-
Step 1
Dry the hair, smoothing the crown straight and the bangs to the side.
-
Step 2
Gather a 2-inch section of the ends of the hair near the face.
-
Step 3
Run the vent brush down to the bottom of the 2-inch section and apply heat with the hairdryer while turning the vent brush upward. Hold the section in place with the vent brush until the hair stays in a flipped-up fashion. Spray with hairspray.
-
Step 4
Repeat this process until all the ends of the hair are flipped up.
-
Step 5
Use a hair straightener to touch up any ends that start to droop. Apply heat with the straightener only to the tips of the hair; moving the straightener quickly and in an upward motion.
-
Step 1
Start with the hair dry and unwashed if possible. Lift a 3-inch section from the crown and hold straight up in the air.
-
Step 2
Hold the hair vertically while backcombing the section of hair with a rat-tailed comb. Starting at the ends of the hair, move the comb down towards the scalp in a quick motion. Continue backcombing the sections until the hair is teased from ear to ear across the crown.
-
Step 3
Spray the backcombing with a strong-hold hairspray. While the hairspray is still wet, use your hands to smooth the backcombing toward the back of the head.
-
Step 4
Wrap the hair that is not teased into a twist in the center of the back of the head, pushing up while securing with bobby pins to add volume to the teased front portion.
-
Step 5
Add a thick headband in front of the teased portion to hide the base of the backcombing.
