Teased hair is so ’60s, right?

Teasing is the method of combing the mid-lengths of your hair toward your scalp to create volume.
If youre wondering if teasing is “bad” for your hair, Lopez says you shouldn’t worry.
How to Tease Hair Like a Pro
Step 1: Prep your hair by adding texture.
To prep your hair for major teasing, you gotta create texture.
Pro Tip
Lopez suggests making space between your texturizing product and your roots.
You want to hold your can a little further away, he says.
Step 2: Map out where you plan to tease.
Lopezs best tip when it comes to teasing: Work smarter, not harder.
This means being strategic about where you plan to tease and how much you plan to tease.
Thats where you start to get that mechanical damage and that breakage.
Step 3: Build volume, focusing on the crown and roots.
Then, execute the comb toward your roots.
(Lopez places the bristles of his comb three inches from the root.)
Step 4: Smooth out the top layer of hair.
This is where he begins to form the shape of the style that he is creating.
The goal is to not see any of the teasing.
Step 5: Create your style.
Whatever you do, just have fun with your new volume.
