STEP 1: To begin, backcomb the top section of your hair with a teasing comb. The trick to knowing if you have enough backcombing is if the hair is standing on end.
STEP 2: For long-lasting hold and humidity defense, spray control force™ firm hold hair spray on the hair.
STEP 3:Smooth the hair in front with a paddle brush while leaving the volume of the backcombing in the back.
STEP 4: Pin the hair back into place and pull apart at the top to loosen a little.
