backcomb
Create volume underneath
To backcomb hair is to comb it toward the scalp rather than away from it, creating volume and a teased, fuller appearance.
The technique pushes shorter hairs against the direction of growth, building texture at the roots: She backcombed her hair for that 1960s bouffant look.
British equivalent of the American *tease*.
