Desiree from IT Cosmetics

San Antonio Gal — Sun, 09 Oct 2022 03:32:29 GMT

Desiree from IT is such a lovely lady on the inside and out. She's got great hair and I was wondering how she gets that lift on the back of her head. Is she able to get that result from teasing or is she wearing a hair piece (see pic below).

I've tried to tease my hair, but I can't get that lift. My hair may not be layered enough.

Search hair bumps. Lots of stuff on Amazon.

Her hair looks like it has a hairpiece on top.

Looks teased to me.

I use my Voloom volumizing iron to get mine to sort of look like that at the crown instead of teasing it.

Hello @San Antonio Gal on her Instagram account, Desiree has a video styling her hair and applying makeup. She uses velcro rollers and curling iron after drying underneath her hair.

@San Antonio Gal Have you tried dry shampoo? It gives the hair some "tooth" and seems to react better to curling irons, velcro rollers, etc.

My hairstylist gave me the hint of rubbing it into the scalp in the places I want height and to do it on freshly washed hair. Evidently you don't need to use it just on oily hair. That was an eye opener.

Such a dated hairstyle.

I think it looks terrible. The bump is so fake looking and makes her look old.

@San Antonio Gal

She is lovely. I'm thinking she may have very layered haircut or she's added in a hair piece that blends well with her own color.

I bought a special hair teasing comb a few years back to use on 2nd day hair when I was traveling for work. It worked great to get a bit of lift. Never as lifted as Desiree's though.

@phoenixbrd - I think she's in her 40's -- the hairstyle looks so fake. Do you think it ages her?

Hsn sells a product to give that lift, I think a British woman with her own salon came up with it. I have seen Amy show it on Beauty Report. Can't think of the name. Athough I am a Bare Minerals girl, I do like to watch Desiree when she is on.

I agree with @Shanus about the dry shampoo. That and some back-combing or teasing helps me get lift.

I think her hair looks great! Not dated at all.

@Knit-Chick I do think too large a bump can look dated like when the bangs were high and teased....I called it "mall hair".

I've seen Desiree on previous IT shows, it does look like she teased her hair to give it a little lift on the crown.

I am an "old "60's" girl...A mod rocker with that "London look"..That is exactley the look... Jean Shrimpton had it, Pattie Boyd had it...Desiree has it...and she wears it well..... She certainly loves and believes in her product. I think she is a sweet young lady. I am happy to see she hasn't changed......and the products are good.....no BS....good stuff...no fake claims.....

@Knit-Chick @Shanus

What brand of dry shampoo do you ladies use? There are so many out there ... but I've not tried any of them. Thanks.

The year I retired from teaching, the hair lift from those little hair pieces were quite popular.

You may enjoy one, and there's sure to be a video on it!

A former co-worker of mine had hair very similar to Desiree's style and she used one of those Bump-it hair accessories to give it that big lift in the back.

I have that brand on a wish list but just never got around to ordering. I think I will give this a go on my next order from Amazon. Thanks

@San Antonio Gal , Drybar has a brush called Texas Tease Teasing Brush that I use to get volume. I don't use it to tease but the brush can get in there at the roots and with hair product and drying I can get good lift at the roots; not a full-on bump but root volume. Sephora carries it if you want to take a look at it online to see if it is something that may work better for you than tradiitonal teasing.
