Popular TV shows, including Jersey Shore and Jerseylicious, have made big hair popular in today’s society. Have you ever wondered how you could obtain this look? I’m going to take you thorough step by step directions on how to create the “teased but tame” look.

What you are going to need:

1)      Teasing brush

2)      Brushed, dry hair

3)      A mirror

4)      Hair spray

These Jersey girls have inspired many to try the teased look!

Step 1: Make sure your hair is completely dry, and brushed before you start! Otherwise you are likely to damage your hair.

Step 2: Section out the part of your hair you are going to start teasing first. I would begin with the back parts of your hair first! Clip or secure the rest of your hair so it doesn’t get tangled.

Step 3: Hold the strand up firmly with one hand and hold a brush gently against the strand, lightly brush towards your scalp. Your grasp should be firm yet gentle, so your hair won’t tangle in your brush!

Step 4: Continue step 3 for the rest of your hair that you sectioned out! Make sure you hairspray every once and a while!

Step 5: Run your fingers thorough the teased section of your hair, but don’t flatten it!

Step 6: When you obtain the desired look, scrunch the rest of your hair to give it a little oomph as well!

Step 7: Put hair in a pony tail, half up/half down, or keep it how it is!

Although these steps seem easy, if you don’t think you can do it yourself, look to a local salon! Looking for hair salons near north shore Pittsburgh? Verve 360 has many talented hair stylists that can create a poof or any other hair style you are looking for!
