The Wave Pyramid

This is the wave pyramid. This is for beginners that are new to the game to understand on a visual level what is most important on achieving full 360 waves.







Brushing - The most important aspect of waving. Seeing as how a wave is a straightened out curl, the brush is vital in achieving 360 waves because the brush is what trains the curl to straighten and stay that way. When beginning to train your hair to accomplish 360's be prepared to brush ALL the time. As u progress in the wave process you will not have to brush nearly as much and you will be brushing mostly to upkeep the hairstyle.


Duraging - Is also a very important aspect of 360 waves. Wearing a durag goes along with brushing in help training the hair to lay down in the way you're brushing it. Wear a durag when you're not brushing and the time is appropriate. Make sure you always wear your durag to bed because you don't want to ruin all the work you put in during the day.


Moisturizing - Moisturizer is like the hairs food. Make sure you find a nice water based moisturizer that works for you and fits your life style. Moisturizers are used to keep the hair soft and manageable. Remember soft-healthy hair is easier hair to wave. Since you are putting hair through rigorous training make sure you always keep your hair moisturized.


Shampoo - This is pretty simple of course. Use the shampoo to clean all the dirt and oil out of your hair. Do not wash everyday because the shampoo can strip hair of essential oils. So wash hair no more than every other day.


Conditioning - conditioning is what you use AFTER you shampoo your hair. Some people like to condition even when they don't wash there hair. This is not necessary but make sure you always use your conditioner after EVERY time you shampoo. the conditioner replaces your hair with essential oils that the chemicals from the shampoo can take out of you hair. so conditioning is very important. it also makes hair softer and once again softer hair is easier to wave.


Pomade & Heavy greases & Gels - As you can see the pomade is at the top of the pyramid where sugar would usually be. Pomade should be used sparingly, because the chemicals found in pomade are not good for your hair and can suffocate your hair follicles. Pomade should be used to help train hair to lay down along with brushing and duraging or on special occasions when your going for that nice shine. Oh, and pomade is not WAVE grease, its pomade. Why do i say this? because it doesn't give you waves, no products do. The brush does and that's why its on the bottom of the pyramid
