How to Tease Your Hair… The Proper Way! {Video}

I can’t tell you how many people have asked me to teach them how to tease their hair. When it comes to adding a little height to your hair you want to make sure you don’t leave it looking messy. There is a big difference between teasing your hair and creating a rats nest. I really is a simple process of sectioning the hair, creating a cushion and smoothing it out.  

An Awesome Tutorial on how to teas your hair the right way!

Here is a video showing you how to tease your hair the proper way in under 4 minutes!

Take a section of hair around your part line that is about 1 inch wide and 3 inches long.

Take small sections oh hair

Insert your comb directly in the middle of your section of hair and comb downward.

Put the comb in the the hair half way and pul in down

Do this on both sides of your head.

Do the same to the other side of your hair

Don’t forget the back of your head. By now you should have teased the entire crown of the head. (Do you like my natural Ombre going on back there? I haven’t had a full highlight in, I don’t know how long But don’t worry I am getting a full before the wedding!)

Do the same with the back of your hair

As soon as you finish teasing to top of your head. Start to smooth out your hair with the end of your comb.

Smooth the hair with the back of your comb

Making sure you smooth out the top of your hair is one of the most important parts of teasing your hair. You want to make sure you don’t comb out all of your tease.

Teasing your hair

I personally think that with a proper tease you can not only create volume to your hair but you can also create fullness to thin or fine hair.

French Braid your hair in 7 Simple Steps {With a Video}

I am republishing this post because I realized that I didn’t make my video public on Youtube. So…. here it is!

Last week I showed you how to Master the art of Braiding so for this week I decided to show you how to turn that basic braid into a French Braid. It is easier than you might think. So many people get discouraged with a French braid and they shouldn’t.

If there is one thing that I would suggest to you it would be this. Make sure you feel completely comfortable with a regular braid before you go onto a French braid.  The motions are the same except you are picking up and adding hair to the French braid as you go along.

This is the easiest way to learn how to french braid

In this video I show you just how to take a basic braid and turn it into a French braid with only adding 2 steps.

1. Grab a good size section of hair on the top of your head

2. Dived Hair in 3 Sections

3. Take the Left Section and Place it Over the Center Section

4. Take the Right Section and Place it Over the Center Section

5. Add a Small Amount of Hair to the Left Section and Place it Over the Center Section

6. Add a Small Amount of Hair to the Right Section and Place it Over the Center Section

7. Continue steps 5 and 6 until you run out of hair

Adding hair to your braid to make it a french braidAdd hair to your braid to make it a french braidContinue adding hair to your french braid until you run out of hair.

I remember when I first learned how to braid, I wouldn’t give up until I mastered it. Let me tell you, I was so excited once I finally got it and I know you will feel the same way.

I am confident that with a little practice you will be able to French braid in not time at all. I hope that this video is helpful for you.

Do you know how to French braid? Do you remember how you felt when you mastered it? I would love to hear about it.

Let me know how it goes for you!
