Whats good my fellow wavers. I just came on here caus I needed to ask y'all for some serious help. See I beeen tryna get waves for a while and its been rough cause they come and they come and they go. A few months ago, I remember i had some nice ass waves. I had everyone like :wtf3: how you get those waves? But now its like :noo: damn your shit is fucked up lol. About my technique...a few wks ago i was using mad grease and products (indian hemp, let's jam, murrays, wave jel activator, olive oil styling gel, carrot oil, and a hard brush) So I wolfed for a good 6 weeks and when I got my cut, nothing was really there. My barber said my head was mad greasy, and murrays was too thick for my hair texture cause he said my hair is naturally soft. So since my cut, I stopped using all those products and I been trying the h20 method with a little bit of indian hemp here and there. My barber also suggested 360 style pomade so I been on that every few days. I also stopped using the hard brush and swtiched to a softy cause I noticed all the hard brush did was make my hair mad straight and took away from my waves. Still though I need some outside feedback. I brush mad times a day, over 1000 strokes per side. the pics below show my hair type. What kinda texture yall think I have? The first 2 pics are my waves before, and the rest are my current status.








By the way, the reason my back look so fucked up in the last pic is cause I got it tapered a while ago. I need it touched up.

When you said that you needed some serious help, I was reluctant to open the post. you might be your own worst critic. You have a solid pattern in the rear and the sides are on the way as well.

Be patient waving is a process not a singular event. There isn't a certain brush quotient that when reached waves suddenly appear.
1000 strokes on each side may not be enough in some areas while just enough in another.

It may be that the barber is not cutting your hair evenly. I fired a barber that wasn't respecting my ripples. If you have ripples or the S pattern before a cut and none after a cut then the barber ain't respecting your ripples.
