Friends, I thought I knew all there was to know about backcombing and teasing my hair. I considered myself to be somewhat of an expert, truth be told. But then my hair stylist told me about the boar bristle teasing comb. I don't know how long these things have been around, but I love them. The extra bristles result in some SERIOUS volume (hallelujah) and also help smoothing over the hair once you are done teasing. I got mine for about 7 dollars at the drug store, but you can also find higher end combs at salons and hair salons.
