Hair help!
I have curly hair that is just at my shoulders when it's curly, and it is two inches past my shoulders when I straighten it.
I am really into big hair.I have very short layers in the back that i like to tease, but does anyone have any personal tips on how to make hair bigger at the top by teasing it?
Also, for when I wear my hair curly (i have loose wavy barrel curls), what are some ways to make it bigger, and more nice looking, not always messy.

i work at a hair salon and i love big hair. i have tried many ways of trying to get my hair big, and the best way to do it is by teasing it. the way i do it is i brush my hair back about midway of my part, and ill take thin secitons of my hair at a time, spray it a little with some hairspray and backcomb using a teasing comb, so that till its as big as you want,m then lightly comb over it to make it look smooth, and spray some more on top, i like to put a thin headband in front of it. the best volumizing product that i have used is Queen for a day, Superstar (by bed head), and eufora volumizing spray. you can find the bed head stuff at most salons or drug stores, and the eufora stuff if only found at some salons, but its worth it if you can find it.

Just so you know, teasing really damages hair and can result in breakage, split ends, and really bad knots.
With that in mind...
Mousse is really good for getting the "big hair" look. The best plan of action would be this: after you wash your hair, put in a small amount of volumizing cream and mousse (or a volumizing mousse), bend over and put your head down, and blow dry it like that (sort of upside-downy). When you're done getting the volume in the back, stand upright and do the front the way you normally would. Then, with a good comb, tease just the roots (maybe the first 2-3 inches of hair) with the comb.
Try not to tease the ends, as they're more fragile and prone to breakage, which results in a "fried" sort of look.
Finally, finish it off with a good finishing spray; something that adds a little bit of gloss just to complete the look.
