The best way to back comb hair is to take a small section of hair about 4cm by 4cm, once you have the section holding it tight, using a dressing out comb or if you do not have one of those you can use fine tooth comb.
Put the comb in to the middle of the section then start using backwards and forwards motions making sure that when you go back towards the head that you push the backcombed hair down this will make it tighter.

How to have Kylie Minogue look
How to get the cut;
You will need mid-way length this mean’s between jaw and shoulder length.
This is incredibly versatile allowing you to create fun and texture.
Adding layer’s to the cut is good to add curls to which will give it a volumes finish rather that a bouffant finish.
How to get the colour;
Luckily for Kylie she has natural dark blonde hair so that is the base colour to start with then you have o add some highlights going to a bright vanilla cream tone.
Both of these colours together will help to create a glossy look.
How to style;
If you are as lucky as Kylie and have naturally curly hair all you would need is some styling mousse and a diffuser.
But if you have straight hair you will need to add some product this will help encourage curls to stay in then you need some curling tongs and start to tong your hair in small sections, Once you have done that you will now need to grabbing sections from the side and back and start pinning them in to place making sore you leave the top section to fall freely.
I away like to finish with a shine spray to give you extra gloss.
5 minute guide to prevent split ends
1) Try not to over wash and dry your hair, spending hours upon hours styling your hair as this will result in you coursing breakage.
2) Try to reduce chemical damage. It is always best to not over perm, colour and straighten your hair. It is best to limit your self to one or two chemical treatments and make sure to always trim away over processed hair.
3) It’s always helps if you have a brake and give your hair a detox or a deep conditioner and I would do this every fourth shampoo, with the deep conditioning treatment I would try to keep it in for about 15 minutes.
4) It a well know fact that we are all to tough with are hair so when brushing your hair try not to tug and pull as this can course split ends especially when your hair is wet. It is always good to use a good quality brushes and always comb out tangles from the ends.
5) It will always help your hair if you have a good diet such as foods with vitamins and also mineral- packed for e.g. nuts, berries, and broccoli also foods that are rich in zinc and omega 3, 6 and 9 and oily fish is also good.
6) It is always a good idea to give are hair a rest from all the hot styling tools like tongs, hairdryers and straighter as all these tools can dry your hair out and course split ends.

How to test your hair, Before having a perm
When thinking for having a perm it is best to have you hair tested as a perm can damage the hair these will tell you where your hair is strong enough to take it. The are different test that you can do so I will talk you through them all.
* Elasticity test
This test is done to determine the condition and the strength of the hair,
You start by removing a few hairs from the front of the head then you need to pull the hair between you fingers. If the hair is weak or fragile it will break.
Hair that has good elasticity should be able to stretch up to half its own length when the hair is wet and only a third of it length when the hair is dry.
If the hair appears weak or breaks this mean the hair can not be premed.
*Porosity test This test is done to check the cuticle for damage.
Cuticle is the protective layer of the hair and if this layer of hair is damaged it will sock up the perm lotion to quickly, if this is to happen it is necessary to even out the porosity this can be done with a per-perm lotion or a restructurant after you have done this you can use a weaker or a specially formulated perm lotion.
How to determine the hair porosity the best way is to gently slide your fingers down the length of the hair shaft this means root to end.
If the hair is healthy it will feel smooth, and if the hair is porous it will feel rough.
Porous hair can be caused from previous treatments such as tinting or highlighting of the hair.
* Incompatibility test
This test is to determine whether the hair has had any chemicals on it that will react with the perm lotion.
How to do this you will have to take a small cutting of hair from various sections of the head, once you have done that place the hair in a simple bleach (a mixture of hydrogen peroxide and ammonia)
If the hair is incompatible the chemicals on the hair will get hot and foam then it will disintegrate therefore you can not carry out the perm.
