Runway Hair Styling - Root Backcomb

ROOT BACKCOMB
The root backcomb is a foundational technique that can create the appearance of more hair or can change even the shape of the head. This technique will help you achieve volume, movement and interesting texture.
Step one
Section front hair out of the way. Take a horizontal section at the crown.
Step two
Use the wide teeth of a comb to compress the hair from mid-shaft down toward the root, creating a padding that will create volume. Do not worry about the fuzz, because the top layer of the hair will be cleaned up. Then move the top layer of hair back over the backcombed section, smoothing it over.
Step three
Next take a section to the left side of the part.
Take the topmost layer of hair and move it out of the way. Then take the lower layer of the same section and backcomb it with the same technique. Once it is finished, move the top layer of hair back on top and smooth it over.
Step four
Now move to the right side of the part. Once again move the topmost layer of hair out of the way. Then backcomb the lower layer of hair of the same section.Once it is finished, move the top layer back over and smooth it over.
