Curly or wavy hair may need to be straightened and straightened before styling.
A tease comb is a comb specifically designed to aid in the process of teasing or backcombing hair to add volume and lift. Most provocative combs have a solid handle to use and lots of teeth on top of the handle to comb through. Underneath the handle there will usually be one or more long prongs that can be used to help separate the hair into smaller sections to work with. These longer teeth are similar to a comb or rat tail comb and give the teasing comb a distinctive look.
The teasing comb is typically used during the styling process to add volume or to create a large hairstyle such as a beehive or updo. While these particular hair styles have fallen out of favor since the 1950s, when they were more common, the hair styling process has continued to be used to create body or volume in fine or straight hair. While a teasing comb may not be strictly necessary for proper combing, the handle and handle at the bottom often make the process easier and more manageable.
Hair to be styled is usually smoothed and straightened before styling. Naturally curly or wavy hair can have more support and body, but hair that isn’t flat is more likely to tangle and become damaged during the styling process. This smoothing is usually easier to do with a natural bristle brush to ensure even brushing and complete detangling. After smoothing and untangling the hair, the real teasing can be done.
A person’s hair is separated into smaller curls that are worked individually. The spike at the bottom of the comb can be used to help part the hair for work, or one person can use their hands to do this. For a professional, the spike at the bottom of the comb can often make the process quicker, especially since training and practice have made the whole procedure of parting the hair with the comb and then playing with the comb a pain. a continuous and fluid movement.
Using a small strand of hair at a time, the hair is pulled back from the head, usually held upright with one hand. The hair is then combed in the opposite direction from normal, starting at the tip of the hair and working towards the scalp in several short, precise strokes. Normally, the regular teasing comb teeth are used for this process, and quick bursts of combing create the teasing comb’s characteristic volume and body.
