Backcombing is the process of combing your hair against the grain or direction of hair growth, typically from ends to roots. Doing so creates a small puff of hair at the mid-shaft ideal for plumping hair up in voluminous styles, such as a beehive, fauxhawk, and so on. However, there are also loads of ways to infuse volume into your locks that don’t entail wearing it in an elaborate, vintage-inspired updo, or, by the same token, incur six months’ worth of damage—and a gargantuan detangling effort—onto strands (hellooo, beach bombshell fullness!).
