That's true.

I only wish that there was a site dedicated to waves like this 8-10 years ago. I had to learn everything on my own.

as long as u go from the crown out, u should be alright. top straight foward from crown. back: down from crown. and sides: at an angle from the crown. it looks a lil screwy in the top right pic around ur ear, but that could jes possibly be the flash hittin it funny, or u jes took off ur du rag. but i think ull be alright

thanks I see that a lot of yall got some interesting methods. so does it look like i'm screwing up my patterns with my brushing? I go from the crown out. is it too early to tell, or are the pics too crappy? I'm trying to spin outta sight man. I'm thinking about copping some of that carrot creme just off GP. THanks a bunch man. I WILL be here! count on it!

Already! What's up playa. I see you are not new to the game just new to the site. Well I would start out by reading the 360VETS Methods,  http://www.hairboutique.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30280& amp; amp;PN=1 , posted at the top of the 1st page. You might want to also read Wave FAQS >>>>> http://www.hairboutique.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30799& amp; amp;PN=1

We welcome you to the 360Wave family. We keep tight around here. I'm the site Moderator if you have nay questions about Hairboutique.com or the products we sell.

My motto is "If it aint Spinning, it aint right"!

welcome to the site man. 360spinna basically summed everything up in a nutshell so i dont really have a lot to say. as far as methods go, u dont even realy have to follow a method. methods are jes to give u an idea of what to do when ur a beginner. u may not follow one, and have the best spinners here. or u (like me) may not use a method, then discover that ur brushing and techniques become more like a ritual, and that u do the same things with ur hair everyday. then u will realize that u have made ur own method. u can check under 360 vet methods (close to the top on the first page) for an idea of wut ur supposed to be doing.

Welcome to the site homie.

The key to getting your pattern to look its best is to first decide which direction you want your waves to go in. Most of us here brush our hair in the 360pattern, but some brush different ways to make their waves unique.

Second, once you decide your brushing pattern stick with it, don't change it at all.

Use products that promote strong healthy growing hair. You don't have to use products that is marketed to people with waves like POMADES, AND WAVE CREAMS cause they are usually not healthy for your hair. Take a look through the site and you'll notice the most popular products are not the ones that are intended for waves.

I got more tips I can tell you, if you got any specific questions post them here or in any related topic and i'll hook you up.

What up everyone, I'm new here but I feel at home, my people around my parts don't get the full picture of spinning, but they'll come around. I already got questions! I'm trying to get my pattern to do it's thing, but i don't know which of yall's methods to use. I use a simple wash grease(Scurl 360)and brush(2softs). use a doorag/stocking cap, which ever i get to first. As i read i keep seeing this carrot creme conditioner popping up and i'm wondering if its right for me man, don't mean to sound like a newbie, but i am! help a brother out!
