I was absolutely planning on doing a "tease" video on how to tease your hair yesterday ..... Well needless to say that did not happen. Our computer is located on the opposite side of our dishwasher and I came home to my husband jack hammering the concrete up in that room. We have been having plumbing problems for a while now and it has finally gotten the best of us. So today I am going to make the best of it and blog from my phone lol!!
Even though there will be no video I wanna still talk about teasing your hair. The most common complaints I've had in my 8 years of doing hair are:
* I can do it, it just always falls out before the end of the day
* I always seem to brush it out
* I can't get it to tease good
Or my favorite ;)
* I just can't do it like you
Well. Just to be clear no one can do their hair just like someone else that does it for them. They are standing over you and can see all angles of your hair! You, in no way SHOULD be able to do it like someone else :).
So problem # 1
* I can do it, it just always falls out before the end of the day.
Solution #1
PRODUCTS!!! What products are you using in your hair? Not all products are made alike. You need to search and find products that match the needs of YOUR hair and that is compatible. Sometimes even if it says "root lifter" it's not going to lift because your hair isn't the texture that that product is made for. So I have created a list of fabulous products and the texture of hair it works with
For all textures of hair you will need a fine tooth comb or teasing comb to tease.
My suggestion: a beige comb made my cricket or a teeze w/ ezz comb
Fine limp hair:
You need a light weight blow dry gel. You apply it after you towel dry and before you blow dry and it gives amazing volume that lasts all day. Put just at the root and use less than a dime size.
My suggestion: style illumination made by chi
You may also need a "poof powder" this helps fine limp hair tease enough to be able to style after teasing. This is for optimal hold. You apply directly to the roots. Then comb through and tease. SERIOUSLY don't overdo it! A little goes a LONG way.
My suggestion: osis dust it made my Schwarzkopf
Then to finish off your look you will need a control hairspray
My suggestion: ultimate control made by chi
For normal hair:
I would use everything for fine limp hair minus the "poof powder"
For thick course hair:
First and formost you need a smoothing product. You apply a small dime size from the middle of your hair strand to the ends after you towel dry, before you blow dry.
My suggestion: crack
Then tease and top with the ultimate control hairspray!
Problem #2
* I always seem to brush it out.
Solution #2
DON'T! After you have teased your hair spray it before you begin combing it over with hairspray. Then very lightly take your comb with the wide tooth side and comb it over the top. Don't dig in. Just lightly comb over the top until you get it smooth. Then finish with hairspray
Problem #3
* I can't get it to tease good
Solution #3
PRACTICE! Practice makes perfect. So keep at it you will get it ;) also for those of you that have practiced osis dust it seriously helps!
