How to tease your hair to get the 60's "bump-it" look without the dumb plastic thing.
All my friends think I use that dumb plastic bump, but baby this is all tease! The more you tease the better it will be! Also layers in your hair will help.

Step 1Wash hair then gather materials. If you don't have a teasing comb you can use a small tooth comb. (sorry pic is side ways!)
-
Step 2Blow dry your hair. **Hint** The way you blow dry is the way it will be, so the part you want to tease (at the crown) blow dry forward, blow drying the crown really well.
-
Step 3Blow dry the rest of your hair down (this will help make it sleek and shiny)
-
Step 4Next grab a section of hair about 3 inch. thick. This should be right in the middle of your crown.(Again sorry it's sideways...)
-
Step 5Next tease this part. I like to do a down-up-out movement very quickly. It is going to create a "rats nest" look.
-
Step 6If you teased enough the part will stand up on its own. Yes you will look dumb. Really dumb if you make that face.
-
Step 7Next repeat 4-6 two more times, on each side of your first section so you should have three sections teased altogether.
-
Step 8**Optional** Now you can straighten the rest of your hair. I do this because my hair is naturally curly and it makes it look better. (ugh sideways pictures!)
-
Step 9Now GENTLY comb back teased part. DO NOT over comb, you just want a smooth top and to blend in the back and sides.
-
Step 10Your finished! If you have any questions please feel free to ask!
The point is to kinda get it knotty, it's what keeps it up. I suggest using a great, thick conditioner the next morning and a wide to comb to work through the tangles. Start and the ends of your hair and work towards the scalp, so you aren't tugging and pulling as much. Also using a really good hairspray is key, as to help prevent breakage and damage. I also do a hot oil treatment (you can get some from any beauty surply store [ex.Sally's] or have a salon do it) about once a month. If you need more advice try going to the salon and asking them to show you how.
But that still leaves me with the first dilemma. When I do do it somewhat effectively it's awefully knotty.
Anyone got any tips for backcombing more effectively?!
Emily- You shouldn't knot your hair too bad, conditioner take it right out.
