So Eco Volumizing Back Comb Brush

So Eco Volumizing Back Comb Brush is a narrow teasing brush with fine bristles, for backcombing at the roots to build height and for the small finishing adjustments at the end of a style. Backcombing works by pushing the shorter hairs in a section back down towards the root so they pack together and hold the section up; it needs a brush small enough to take one section at a time, which is why this one is narrow rather than wide. It is not a detangling brush and it is not meant to be drawn down the length of the hair — the work all happens in the few centimetres nearest the scalp. The fine bristles are the other half of it: a coarse bristle slides out of a short section instead of packing it.

Benefits

• The narrow head lifts one small section at the crown, which a wide paddle cannot isolate.
• Fine bristles backcomb close to the root, so the lift stays hidden under the top layer.

How to use

• Lift a small section at the crown and hold it up, then push the bristles down towards the root in short strokes.
• Smooth the top layer back over the teased section with the flat of the brush.
• Work one small section at a time rather than teasing the whole crown at once.
• Fine bristles clog faster with product, so clear them after a teasing session and clean the head as the pack directs.
