Backcomb is a hairstyling technique that involves TEASING the hair to create volume and texture. It is also known as 'TEASING' and involves using a comb to separate small sections of hair and then brushing them in the opposite direction of the hair's natural growth. This creates a fuller look and can be used to create a variety of styles. Backcombing is a popular styling technique for those with curly or wavy hair, as it helps to add definition and texture.
