My hair keeps curling up.

I'm having trouble getting my hair to lay all the way down. It's been about 2 weeks since a hair cut, and I keep my hair at like a #2 level haircut. I'm trying to wait 4 weeks to get deeper wave patterns. But my hair curls up when I put the DAX in, it don't lay it all the way down or if I just pack lots of pomade in then it will lay down somewhat but it looks white and dry. I was wondering does gel hold your hair down better than the pomades do?

You should try a thicker pomade. I suggest Murray's orange can or Murray's yellow can...Nu Nile.

Is Murray's thicker than DAX.

YEAH TRAIN AND WASH YOUR HAIR ALOT,USE WHATEVER POMADE IS EASIER TO WASH OUT.YOU MAKE THAT CHOICE.WASHING AND BRUSHIN CONSISTENLY SHOULD START TO TRAIN HAIR TO LAY DOWN MORE..

So washing your hair helps to train it?

ya when u puttin in ur pomade and u start brushin ur hair should straighten out for a second and curl down and thats a good thing because when u put ur du-rag on the curls should stay down and form a wave. you also might wanna put in more pomade that was my problem i didnt put enough in but dont cake ur hair. i suggest nu nile, bodygaurd ur mistaken dawg on the site murrayz is a level thicker than nu nile u cn feel the difference 2. and WHERE A DURAG WHENEVER U AINT BRUSHIN. holla

ya thats true im just sayin i wasnt puttin enough for me i use a dime amount for my top, a dime for the sides and a lil for my back. iwas usin like a dime for my whole head thats why my hair wasnt layin down.

I guess I just need to put more nu nile in because I bought some and it doesn't hold mine down. Like it works when it's shorter but when it gets longer like it is now it's not holding it down. So should I wash it then put the pomade in and brush it down straight, and then du rag it, until I start the process over again.

Okay so let me get this straight...

While you are training you are supposed to keep it mosturized and brush. Right? Then once you have waves pomade will bring them out more. Right? So if you're still training your hair using pomade is a waste...right?

i dont think so. i think when u use a pomade it helps to get u waves and hold your hair down so your curls will form to waves and stay down. but pink lotion does help in my opinion.
