How to add body/poof to ridiculously thick hair?!?

Hi girls!

I have almost mid-back hair that is REALLY THICK.

I have to straighten it so it won't poof (naturally wavy). I'm going as sexy snow white for halloween and the costume came with this cute red bow headband. I want to kinda poof my side bangs a little but DEF poof the back up so it looks like i have some body!

because I have thick hair most everything i put in my hair weighs down %26amp; it'll be flat once again in about 30 minutes. Would teasing work? If so, how exactly do you this? I was thinking maybe teasing the back %26amp; my bangs then adding hairspray but i have no idea how to tease hair!

Thank you all so much!! =)

Teasing works to some degree. This involves using a rat comb which can be purchased at any drug store or beauty supply chain. You take strands of hair and near the root you comb it towards your scalp instead of away. This looks best if you leave the top layer of hair unteased as it creates a bit of a mess. You best bet might be to get a hairnet and make your own "hair rat" which is a hair net filled with hair (get some cheap extensions at sally beauty or some similar store that are the same color as your hair). This will give you that "bump" behind your headband and it will never fall. If your hair is thick that is great because you will definately have enough hair to cover everything.

yes.. do teasing. take the comb and go down on the hair then go back to the top and go back down, stay colse to it. and use hairspray

You need to go in and have it thinned out!!! It will feel so much better and be easier to work with! Good Luck!
