Few months. I can't wolf no more than 3 weeks either cause my shyts be disappearing.
No pomade. I only use moisturizer. I'm sure a pomade would help tho
Ahh you're still new to the game. You'll be straight it's all about consistency initially. Nah see that's the point when you wolf, you'll look a bum until you get your haircut. But it's cut those waves come in nicely. The whole barbershop be like holy shyt.
Personally i don't fukk wit pomade, it's not good for your hair in the long run. As far as moisturizers I don't use any now, but when I did the green olive oil was crack.
The only trick I use now for getting waves is lightly putting water on my hands then patting down my hair in the direction they should dip. Then I start brushing, use this trick every time you start brushing and you'll be straight.....
I ain't no cac but the shampoo I use is men's head and shoulders: 2 in 1 active sport(shampoo +conditioner). My barber noticed a difference in my hair when I started using it.
Point is don't be afraid to wolf unless your employment is real strict on looking neat.
