You can find them at Sally's..I'm not sure of what brand they carry there. But, its basically a skinny brush that has boar bristles on it that help with teasing. They work really well and last a long time. But you can still use a regular comb, but tease with the fine end of the comb...and then comb through the teasing with the wide teeth so that your hair is proportionate. Here is hopefully...a help way to help you tease:
Lift up about 1/2 inch section of hair (start at the back of your crown area) hold this section of hair straight up and tight. Then, take some strong hairspray (this will help with keeping the teasing in place but it is not necessary if you hair holds it well) and spray it on just the root area of the hair that you are holding straight up. After you spray that, take your comb and basically, rough up the root area. You want to do this on the back side of the hair you are holding up. When I say rough it up..I mean strong up and down motions with your comb. If you are doing it right, your final result will look like you just made a big knot in your hair...but you didnt! After you tease that section, let go of it and let it fall. Then tease a few more sections, normally I tease around the part. After you are done teasing, take a brush, or the wide tooth of the comb, and lightly comb down your hair, but do not use pressure. This will just even everything out!
