Our verdict

A backcombing spray that builds lift at the roots with a matte finish and no flaking. Hold strength is called lasting but not rated on a scale.

Overview

Redken Root Tease is a finishing spray that makes backcombing easier and builds lift at the roots. A targeted nozzle puts it near the scalp, and it dries fast to a matte, full bodied finish.

For flat hair that needs height at the crown, it gives grip without the stiffness of a lacquer. Matte texture will dull a sleek, shiny style.

Who it's for

Tousled updos and textured styles that rely on teasing get a spray built for that job. People wearing smooth, polished looks will not want the matte grit.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Builds lift at the roots
  • Matte finish for texture
  • No flaking claimed
Cons
  • Matte look dulls shine
  • Hold level not rated
  • Aromatic scent may linger

Performance notes

Grip comes from coating the roots so strands catch on each other when teased, which props up volume. The matte finish absorbs light, so the lift looks fuller but less glossy.

Frequently asked questions

The listing says it leaves no residue or flaking but gives no brush out steps. Working a comb gently from the ends up loosens teased sections.

No. It dries to a matte, full bodied finish.

Where should Redken Root Tease be sprayed?

At the roots. The nozzle is built to target the root area before backcombing.
