| There is no such thing as a surefire method for obtaining 360’s. What members speak of are different idiosyncrasies in their hair care ritual. Nothing more nothing less. I will attempt to explain Why and ignore completely the Which? Once you understand Why then Which way Joe Blow does it is irrelevant? All idiosyncrasies or methods as yall like to say have a foundation in Why?
Waves are a process not a singular event. In essence it is a work in progress. It would be futile to expect something for nothing. If you don’t pick up the brush and put the hours in daily, weekly or monthly, you aren’t going to get there. No matter how many wet or dry du-rags you wear at night, no matter how much pomade you use or don’t use, no matter how many spray bottles you use, no matter how many plastic bags you wipe across your dome, no matter how many times you shower brush, no matter whether you wash your hair in the shower or outside the tub, no matter whether you use moisturizer or an oil based product. If you don’t commit to brushing you will not see results.
Most members give the simple advice to keep brushing no matter the question. That is because it works. It is not that people don’t have anything better to say. It is that brushing is the foundation of this process. The next often given advice is to wolf and moisturize. I am not going to deviate much from that advice. What I will do, however is explain the benefit and why it seems to be given as advice so frequently.
Brushing
Brushing is self-explanatory. The key to brushing is consistency. You only have to brush to brush two times. That is when you feel like it and when you don't feel like it. Carry a brush with you all the time. When you get a moment, take advantage of it and get a few stokes in. More important that how often you brush is the manner in which you brush. It is unlikely that any waver brushes in exactly the same fashion. You are going to determine which way your hair patterns lay and brush in accordance with that direction. Think about it. You brush the top forward because that is the way it lays. Once you brush it the correct way for a long enough period of time it will wave up. The same is true for your sides. You have to determine which way the sides are programmed to lay. If you are brushing in a manner not consistent with that then the process will take longer. Brush your hair in the mirror with your back to the mirror and another mirror in your hand so that you can see the reflection of the back, sides etc in the mirror. Once you get the correct positions of your hands, then eventually you will be able to hit those target areas correctly without the mirror. In order to resolve any problem area, you are going pay that area specific attention. Brush that area twice for every time that you brush the top once. The top for most people is the easiest to train. After the top, the easiest areas to train are the left side, the back and the right side is generally the hardest.
Moisturizing
Moisturizing will aid your hair with being soft and easier to train. Brushing your hair when dry is the least effective way to train your waves. People also recommend shower brushing which is brushing your hair in the shower. This process has the same rationale as moisturizing. When your hair is wet, it is the easiest to train just like when you add a moisturizer. Moisturizing is the best way to train your hair. It makes hair soft and more manageable.
Wolfing
Wolfing is when you allow your hair to grow out. Wolfing is essential in programming non-responsive areas of your hair. Be aware what it takes for a wave to form. A wave is nothing more than hair that has been brushed so much that it lies in a smooth pattern. The hair when brushed straightens and recoils. It straightens and recoils over and over again until it forms a wave pattern. The hair eventually gets stuck between the straight and the curly stage that is what a wave actually is. Wave- A series of strands of hair that have been stuck between the curly and straight stage. Wolfing is for live men not for freshmen. If you don’t have a trained pattern, then say hell no. Wait until you have a trained pattern then you can step up to this level.
Density
Members complain that the barber or the shower took their waves away.
The density is created by the dirt and the products that you put in your hair. These substances bind with hair and make a strong bond giving you the illusion of a tight pattern. Certainly you have waves but the products and dirt are boosting its appearance. When you wash your hair, you are removing the dirt, oil etc that is actually holding your waves in place. So what you see most often is density. When you remove density, you see hair that lacks definition. The problem is that you have grown accustomed to looking at your hair when it is weighed down by products in an artificial state versus its natural state. | |

Thats a good way 2 look at it. its like every time i wash my hair the waves look like they aint as deep, but ur right its just that im more used 2 seeing them with the product in. good post tho | |
