Totally Brooks! I also love pulling it back into pigtails (low next to the nape of your neck) then adding a flower on the side or a wide headband, it really can give it a throwback flare to any outfit!
The point is to kinda get it knotty, it's what keeps it up. I suggest using a great, thick conditioner the next morning and a wide to comb to work through the tangles. Start and the ends of your hair and work towards the scalp, so you aren't tugging and pulling as much. Also using a really good hairspray is key, as to help prevent breakage and damage. I also do a hot oil treatment (you can get some from any beauty surply store [ex.Sally's] or have a salon do it) about once a month. If you need more advice try going to the salon and asking them to show you how.

But that still leaves me with the first dilemma. When I do do it somewhat effectively it's awefully knotty.
Anyone got any tips for backcombing more effectively?!
Emily- You shouldn't knot your hair too bad, conditioner take it right out.
