Does your hair grow?

 

[Rev Leon Lonnie Love]

That's the best texture for waves. I got 4CCCCC+ hair (loc'd now), but from age 20-25 I had crazy waves and I went without really brushing the whole time. Once you train your hair to wave it will continue to do so.

will report back in about a month or so then

Truth!

A brush, some water, and a stocking cap is all you need. Always said all the chemicals ppl use isn’t necessary

Yeah I gave up on them pomades years ago once I got health conscious and noticed all them chemicals.

But I know some brehs still swear by it.

Now I use unrefined shea butter or sometimes a little olive oil or coconut oil so my hair doesn’t get that dusty look.

I use coconut oil, and that’s only to keep my scalp from getting too dry.

I tried them pomades when I was a kid, and they never worked for me. My lil bro will use pomades, but still can’t get waves. He doesn’t like to brush, and keep telling him that’s the only way they’ll come in. Gotta train your hair, and put in the work.

Still nothing

Bruh, your hair is too short for waves....way too short

This. You dont see waves that low unless you already had em

Ima keep brushing, guaranteed. It just hurts seeing all these cats brushing for 2 weeks and they already got ripples all over their scalp.

Naturally curly hair? I guess you haven't seen these hardcore African steel-wool hair on full display.

my shyt looks just like that if i let it grow without any brushing

The thicker and coarser your hair, the tighter the coils are, the more waves you get.

I've been hearing this "its hard to get waves with coarse hair" bs for years.
I have tight, "nappy" hair that will coil together if I don't brush or comb or moisturize it.

Take care of your hair, I have the same texture as you, and I have 180s right now + I have a cowlick that makes waves difficult.

You will have to brush, consistently, and use a durag consistently but you should have waves within the month

Are you hitting those 100 strokes in all directions 3 times a day + durag every night and between sessions? Are you using a medium and a soft brush?

If not

I use the Coldlabel pomade, its a solid natural pomade that gives you good hold, good shine, and rinses out really easily without too much build up.
I used to use Murrays, and if I'm trying to get more control once I'm wolfing I use it, but not as frequently as others.
It can make my scalp itch.

Considering how tight his curls are, its not a bad length to start, the coarser your hair, the shorter it can be for wave training.

dedication is unquestionable on my side :udfup:

but I hear you though. I'll give it a month and let it grow and marinate

I dont agree

 

[EndDomination]

I dont agree

The thing is, we have the same hair texture.
Its not really up for debate, dedication will have his shyt looking like Poppy Blasted

 

[mortuus est]

washing your hair, than drying it 80% and using percy noble pomade made my waves real good

Still nothing

I think you have your hair cut in the wrong direction. Cut your hair forward never back. Cutting forward is with the grain. If you cut it with the grain. At that length. You should be seeing like hard little patch area where they start. You need an excellent barber who cuts patterns and knows his technical shyt to cut your hair even so your pattern will grow. The hair has parts and areas where it all grows the same. So no one is different that is black. We can all have fukking waves. Just get the haircut the right way and wear your stocking cap till your hair is fully dry.
Water, comb, stocking cap, even haircut with the grain is all you need.
