Yep!!! Whole lotta teasing!! lol Start fom the back part of the crown, tease from the back, and work your way i n1" sections to the front. then smooth the hair that's on top to cover the backcombing. You can also backcomb the front of the hair to make it go in a certain "direction" ... but go over it lighty to smooth it all together. Then spray it. Remember... alwas comb it out before you go to bed or you will have a really "fun" time trying to get all those knots out in the morning!!!
