Ratting/Teasing tips needed!

[kitchengirl]

I looove the way ratting makes your hair get a diffrent shape or WAY more volume/height but it seems to slip away after about an hour of doing it! What do you girls do that helps it stay big and stay put!Also i usually just overload on conditioner to comb it out, any tips on un-teasing?


PS i am new and looked for a thread like this and couldnt find one, sorry if its already here!

I just section of where I want volume, tease it, and then spray the roots with Joico Ice Blast

Try taking your hair into smaller sections when you tease it, and make sure to spray each section heavily with a super-sticky hairspray like Aquanet or RAVE. Let each section dry thoroughly before you flip everything back over and smooth it all out. Good luck

If you want it to still look straight and not messy, you can pin up the top layer, then tease the layers underneath like the girl in the video did, and then let the top layer down over it.

I want to take back what I said about the hairsprays: I LOVE BigSexyHair's Spray & Play Hairspray now. Aquanet and RAVE are like scum compared, haha. I kinda wanna try Joico's Ice Blast, too tho...how does it differ from regular hairspray, Ruby Soho?

I also just tease the bottom part and put the straight hair on top, it looks more neat that way.

Thank you SO much for that link! It's exactly what I needed! Thankyou thankyou thankyou!! :loveya:

Teasing is soooo bad for your hair though, just don't overdo it. It will kill the hair shaft if you do it everyday.

If you had white/blonde hair I'd say use Pssst! to make it more voluminous while teasing (Or if it's not you'll look a little like this)

Bumble&Bumble make black, brown, red, white and blonde hair powder that's great if you need to add a large amount of volume.

It holds my hair alot better than hairspray. I just tease my roots, then spray them, let it dry for a few seconds, and it holds all day, even holds after having slept on it.
