Backcombing

    Hi all, I bought a backcombing brush today after it was recommended by a friend. I just don't know how to backcomb my hair properly! I have longish layered hair. At the moment, i do the usual wash dry upside down, semi straighten, clip in my extensions then backcomb it a little bit on top. I want to know how to do it properly as I love the oomph it gives my hair! I have a wedding on Saturday and this style would look fab, even backcombed with slight waves. All replies appreciated!

    I wouldn't step outside without some sort of a backcomb in my hair, and I've actually found the wide tooth comb bought in tesco is actually far better than any backcombing brush I've ever used. Maybe consider getting one!

    Anyway take a section of hair you wanna backcomb, backcomb 3 times, smooth hair on top gently, take another section, repeat. I always start underneath and work my way up. I also find that backcombing powder you get fantastic for getting a good backcomb and it won't go flat throughout the day/night. Hairspray is obviously your friend too

    I have one of these...they are well handy!

    I usually leave my hair until the day after its washed as it holds more. seperate hair and start working from underneath.

    Spritz with hairspray, take a section and backcomb for a little while (until you see volume) and spritz with some more hair spray. Keep repeating until you have the look you want!

    the best thing to do with backcombing is get it as big and full as u can as u can always flatten it down .. take section spray with hairspray , get a comb and start to back comb spray again with hairspray , then take a new section and repeat .. after a few sections i tend to give it a big spray with hairspray all over . its way better to be sprayin when u start rather then when ur near the front of hair because it might start looking hard.. when ur done all the back combing and looking pretty much insane ( if u dont u resemble a lion you havent back combed enough haha), give it one more spray and then i use the backcombing brush pictured above to do the smoothing out i think it works way better :)

    hope this helps.. Definitly recommend the comb to do the back combing its much easier and gives such good volume! :)

    ENJOY!!
