Being a fan of all things with which
I am not naturally blessed- I am a lover of big hair... so I was more than
ecstatic at the concept of "Umberto Giannini Glam Hair- Backcomb In A
Bottle" (launched 2010).
U M B E R T O G I A N N I N I G L A M H A I R | B A C K C O M B I N A B O T T L E
I purchased this product hoping to
rescue my hair from the daily (yes daily!) torturous routine of teasing and
backcombing my limp mop into some semblance of a full head of hair.
The bottle promises "The instant
texture and volume of backcombed hair... unbelievable!".
As you could already tell from my
tone, it did not deliver (for me, I know a lot of people really like this
product and have achieved desirable looks with it).
I sprayed the product 6 inches from
my roots, as directed, but ended up with a soggy, stringy mess on top of my
head, leaving my hair looking horrifyingly sparse!
On the up side, I have found that it
works well when sprayed sparingly through the lengths of my hair, especially
when I've created waves, to achieve a tousled beachy look. It also does have a
really nice scent.
I’ve decided to stick to my Spornette
Little Wonder Teasing Brush. I know teasing has a bad wrap for causing major
damage, but when done correctly it’s not that bad.

I came across this brush when I was
in my teasing-infancy, still using a fine-toothed comb and it has revolutionized
my hairstyling possibilities…
To use-
1 | Separate a thin, but wide section
of hair, about 10cm across the scalp and brush it straight up whilst holding it
in one hand.
2 | With the teasing brush, starting
about 4-5cm from the scalp, brush the hairs down with a firm motion, packing
the hair down onto the scalp.
3 | Repeat this 2-3 times, until you
can feel that it has created a firm base.
4 | Let go of the section of hair,
letting it fall forward out of the way of your next section.
5 | If you need a fuller look,
continue the above steps, moving backwards from the forehead.
6 | Once you have finished teasing,
flip all of the sections back.
7 | Lightly brush over the top; to
smooth out any frizzy hairs and hide signs teasing!
8 | Finish with your favourite
hairspray to preserve all your hard work J
