Back-combed is a hairstyle in which the hair is combed backwards from the scalp to create volume and texture. It is also known as back-brushing or ratting. The term 'back-combed' can also be used to describe the process of teasing the hair with a comb to create a textured look. Teasing, which is also referred to as back-combing, involves using a comb to separate the strands of hair and then brushing them in the opposite direction to create a voluminous look.
