To "rat" your hair, or "ratting"
to create volue
It will damage the cuticle by pushing the scales the wrong way. The cuticle protects the hair with a lot of backcombing and backbrushing you take away the hairs own defense.
If you do alot of teasing or backcombing to yourv hair then that can cause it to be lost :/
Consistently backcombing the same area of hair will lead to hair breakage. Using volumizing shampoos, root lifting products, and blow dry styling with a large round brush will create the same lift with very little damage.
Backcombing and back brushing are both used for the same reason, to create volume. Backcombing is used to create volume at the roots whereas back brushing creates volume from ends to roots. Both are harsh on the hairs structure so it is important that it is done lightly to avoid hair breakage.
do you mean like backcombing it? if so, just get a comb and brush up rather than down. its easy. :)
Another word for backcombing is teasing, you take a comb or a brush and and brush or comb the hair towards your scalp. That adds volume to the hair to make it stand up such as creating a hump or a poof. It creates a cushion effect. After that most people add hair spray to make it stay.
the purpose of the hair shaft is to protect and moisturize the scalp.
Making Dreadlocks Backcombing You will need: Dread Wax Residue Free Shampoo Metal Comb Rubberbands I recommend the DreadHead Supa Dupa Dread Kit:It has everything you need and they guarantee your hair will dread. 1. Wash your hair with a residue free shampoo and let it air dry. 2. Section your hair into sections that are 1 inch by 1 inch. You can use rubberbands to hold the sections while you section the rest of your hair. 3. Start in the back of your head, remove the rubberbands and start teasing the hair towards your scalp. Only backcomb about a half inch of hair at a time, this will keep your dreads from forming loops. 4. Once you have finished backcombing the that section of hair, put a rubberband on the tip and one on the root. Add about an M&M's worth of wax to the dreadlock and palm roll it. 5. Do this to all the sections of hair.
