How to Clean Up After Teasing Hair

A hairstyle popular in the 80s, teased hair will add height and volume without expensive products or salons. All you need to create a teased hairstyle is a can of hairspray and a hairbrush. However, teasing may cause irreparable hair breakage and leave strands of hair in the sink basin. In addition, the process of untangling your hair can damage delicate strands if not done properly. Keep both the bathroom and your hair looking good with the proper cleanup.
