Im a white male with long/medium hair, any tips on backcombing?

I used to backcomb my hair into a Robert Smith style...

Here is what you do:

When you get out of the shower, towel dry your hair and blowdry it until it is only a little bit damp. Put a small amount of good hair gel or mousse in it and just spread it throughout your hair

Flip your head upside-down and hairspray your hair like crazy and blowdry it... brush your hair down towards your face when you do this, just hairspray it upside-down. Make sure your hair is completely dry.

Flip your head back up... you should now have a giant mass of hair sticking out everywhere... but it isn't backcombed and it will flatten out quickly. Now is the part where you back-comb.

Use a strong comb with wider-spaced teeth to start... when you get most of the hair backcombed, use a comb with finer-spaced teeth to make it tighter and more long-lasting.

As for the backcombing process... don't be afraid to really be harsh on your hair. Grab big chunks at first and just rip into it with the comb pushing it towards your head, hold the hair tight, you should actually be pulling it away from your head while you comb it towards your head. When most of it is backcombed, go for smaller sections to make it tighter and more backcombed at the ends of the hair. Use as much hairspray as you see necessary thoroughout this process.

When the backcombing is done, spray nicely with hairspray, but don't saturate your hair with it, it should be nicely misted but not wet. Use the hairdryer again to lock it in. BE SURE to turn your head upside down or the hairdryer will flatten it out. Use good amounts of hairspray while blowdrying. Don't brush or comb your hair while blowdrying, you can use your hands to move the hair around so the blowdryer can get down deeper into all the backcombing. Just don't comb it out with your hands.

After that is done. Just backcomb out any stubborn peices of hair, use a little hairspray if needed. You should have something pretty close to what you want.
