Would you tease / backcomb your hair?

[Arctic]

Yes I could tease and occasionally do. I have no plans to grow very long hair, so I don't need to be extremely careful. However I should have rather said, instead of "do", that I try to, because teasing just glides out of my hair. My hair type has change considerably since my teens and twenties, but this fact just stays. I would tease much more often if there was actual point. Also: teasing is no match to the wizardy of double crown: that sucker laughs at teasing and after it's laughed it parts like a red sea again.

My hair never could hold a backcomb. Trust me, I've tried lol.

Backcombing always made me cringe and always will. No thanks!

[Chromis]

Nope, never had any interest! It looks like it would make a mess of snarls and I'd never heard of it until after I joined here anyhow. I really hate tangles, so I always hated when my mother tried putting my hair in curlers for special occasions or used those dreaded thinning shears.

I guess I lived under a style rock. I think I am okay with that

I use to be that teenager on youtube that you are describing. I went through a pretty long and awful emo/scene phase.
When I joined LHC in 2011 I was still, coming out of it. And could not let go of that old styling habit.
Its been 5 years now, and I no longer do it, I grew out of it. Secretly I still wish I could have hair like that but there is no way you can do that AND have long hair.
I wore extensions the whole time I did my hair like that, but I am so done wearing fake hair and want long hair of my own.
So I threw away all my torture devices in 2012 and never looked back.

I did however have my hair teased and curled for my cousins wedding in September, I was a bridesmaid so I really had no choice.
Pay a woman 55$ to torture my hair and spray it with yucky sticky hair spray.
Did i mention that i sort of resent my cousin for making me go through that? LOL.

Hopefully I am never a bridesmaid again.

No, tho I have never ever styled my hair fancy or into a trend anyway.

[Entangled]

Even if it's not the worst thing I could do to my hair, it seems so violent I cringe thinking about it.

[Garnetgem]

No never not after witnessing my mum doing her back comb when i was a tiny tot...i can still see this great big matted bunch of hair in my memory as she struggled to untangle took her ages..for some rason this has stuck in my mind so its a never back comb for me lol!

[genuinewicked]

I was that kid in high school, with the blond, short layers on top and long, straight black hair on bottom. It was fun for a while, but it caused major damage to my hair, both the teasing and the straightening. Back then I wasn't concerned with caring for my hair or growing it out, so I didn't care that it was getting damaged. Now, though, I stick to soft, heatless, natural styles. No more backcombing for me!

It gives me the shivers to even consider it.
