Benefits:
- INSTANT ROOT VOLUME, LASTING LIFT: Backcombing pushes hair against its natural direction toward the scalp, creating friction that builds volume and lift at the root. The right tool for this is a teasing hair brush with short, dense, multi-row bristles that grip hair firmly enough to build structure without snapping it. Matra’s backcombing hair brush does exactly this, with a 3-row bristle design that gives fine, flat, or limp hair the body it cannot achieve on its own.
- PRECISION RAT TAIL: The pointed rat tail on this teasing and tail comb’s handle creates sharp, clean parts and lifts hair for updos, braids, and ponytails with salon-level accuracy. No separate pin tail comb needed. This back combing brush handles sectioning and teasing in one compact, lightweight tool built for home use and professional salon styling.
- PRECISION RAT TAIL: The pointed rat tail on this teasing and tail comb’s handle creates sharp, clean parts and lifts hair for updos, braids, and ponytails with salon-level accuracy. No separate pin tail comb needed.
- THE FIX FOR FLAT, LIMP HAIR: To add volume to flat or limp hair, section it from the bottom layer upward, hold each section upright, and push Matra’s teaser hair brush downward toward the scalp in 2 to 3 short firm strokes per section. The 3-row bristles compress hair at the root, building an internal structure that lifts the outer layer. Finish by smoothing the surface and setting with hairspray for full, bouncy hair that holds all day.

Q1. What is the Matra Teasing Hair Brush used for?
The Matra Teasing Hair Brush is designed for back combing and root teasing to add instant volume and lift to flat, limp, or fine hair. It works as a volumizer comb and root teaser, helping you build body at the roots for full, bouncy hair that holds all day. It is suitable for all hair types and ideal for both home use and salon-style styling.
Q2. How does a teasing brush add volume to flat or limp hair?
A teasing brush works by pushing hair against its natural growth direction toward the scalp, creating friction and compression at the root. The Matra Back Combing Brush features a 3-row bristle design that grips the hair firmly to build internal structure at the root, which then lifts the outer layer for visible volume. This is the most effective technique to add volume to flat or limp hair without heat tools.
Q3. What is the 3-row bristle design and why does it matter for back combing?
The 3-row bristle design on the Matra Teasing Hair Brush means the bristles are arranged in multiple dense rows, giving the brush greater grip and control during back combing. This allows short, firm downward strokes to compress hair at the root efficiently, building volume faster and more evenly than single-row brushes. It is what makes this brush effective for volumising fine hair and creating lift that lasts.
Q4. What is the rat tail handle on this back combing brush for?
The pointed rat tail on the handle of the Matra Teasing and Tail Comb is used to create sharp, clean sections through the hair before teasing. It helps you lift and part hair precisely for updos, braids, ponytails, and everyday styling, delivering salon-level accuracy. With this feature, you do not need a separate pin tail comb or sectioning tool.
Q5. Is this teasing brush suitable for all hair types?
Yes, the Matra Teasing Hair Brush is designed for all hair types. Whether you have fine, straight, wavy, or naturally flat hair, the 3-row bristle design and soft nylon bristles work to build root volume while minimising frizz. It is particularly effective as a back combing brush for fine or limp hair that struggles to hold volume.
Q6. How do I use the Matra Teasing Hair Brush correctly for best results?
Start with detangled, dry hair. Use the rat tail handle to section hair from the bottom layer upward. Hold each section upright, place the brush about one inch from the root, and push it downward toward the scalp in two to three short, firm strokes. Repeat across all sections to build volume, then lightly smooth the surface in the direction of hair growth and set with hairspray to lock in the lift all day.
Q7. Can this back combing brush be used for updos and ponytails?
Yes. The Matra Teasing Hair Brush doubles as a styling tool for updos, braids, and ponytails. The precision rat tail handle allows you to section and lift hair cleanly, while the teasing bristles build the root volume needed to make these hairstyles look fuller and more structured. It is a compact, multi-use hair styling tool built for both everyday wear and special occasion hairstyles.
Q8. Will using a teasing brush cause frizz or damage to hair?
The Matra Teasing Hair Brush uses soft nylon bristles that are designed to minimise frizz with every stroke. When used correctly on dry, detangled hair with controlled back combing strokes, it builds volume without causing excessive tangling or breakage. Smoothing the hair surface gently after teasing and finishing with hairspray helps maintain a clean, polished look.
Q9. How is a teasing brush different from a regular hair brush or volumizer comb?
A teasing brush is specifically designed for back combing, with short, dense, multi-row bristles that grip hair and push it toward the scalp to create friction and root lift. A regular hair brush is built for smoothing and detangling, not volumising. A volumizer comb or rat tail comb may assist with sectioning but does not build the same structural root volume as a dedicated teasing and back combing brush like the Matra one.
Q10. Is the Matra Teasing Hair Brush good for professional salon use or only for home use?
The Matra Teasing Hair Brush is designed to be compact and lightweight, making it suitable for both home use and professional salon styling. Its 3-row bristle design and precision rat tail handle provide the accuracy and performance needed for salon-level back combing, root teasing, and hair sectioning, making it a practical everyday styling tool for both personal and professional use.
