Humps are easy to create. It's a great way to bring attention to the face while having the option of an up-do or letting the hair down.

Here's a how to for the easy steps to a great hair hump.
Steps
- Brush your hair. Using a comb to section the front part of your hair(where bangs would be, if you have a bang)
- Comb it down in front of your face and make sure that it is centered and even from both sides. Separate it in two and cross them over then comb
- Center it, making sure that the thickness of the hair is just as you like it.
- Too much hair= volume and height.
- Too little hair= Controlled volume and height.
- Comb the hair product through the sectioned hair using styling mousse or hairspray.
- Comb your hair up to the ceiling. Make sure that there aren't any loose strands. Begin combing hair back, but be gentle. You don't want your hair hump to look too messy. Remember that it's on top of your head, be aware of that it has to be neat from all angles.
- Control the height. Use the comb to comb back underneath the sectioned hair. By doing so, you can lift your hair up as high as you can. If you're looking for a tamed hair hump; comb underneath the sectioned hair, but comb down instead.
- Grab a hair clip or a Bobby Pin, and pin that hair hump down! Make sure that it is secured. And for that extra hold, spritz with hair spray.
- Finished.
Tips
- Hair humps are great with a ponytail. After finishing the hair hump. Use you fingers to pull the rest of your hair up in a ponytail.
- Use a narrow toothed comb. It's easier.
- If you have thick hair, use a larger hair clip/bobby pin - it will hold the hair better and for longer.
- don't remove flicks in a hump.
- Make it pretty. Use a bow as a clip.
- Sometimes a little sparkly makeup looks good with a hair bump! Red is a good color!
