As I have stated before, the crown of most 360 wavers heads, spins out clockwise. This means that most crowns grow out in a spiral towards the right. This growth pattern, also, extends out to the entire head. This means that the sides of your head represent to polarizing areas of a spiral. And, if you examine rotation and centrifugal force, the weakest area of a spiral is its starting point and the strongest area of a spiral is parallel to that area or what would be the other side of the spiral. So if you’re looking at your head from the back and see it as a traditional analog clock, the spiral would start at 12 o’clock and rotate to the right. So if you compare your head to a spiral, you can see that the spiral starts on the right side of your head and ends on the left. Since this is the case, the right side of your head is the beginning of the spiral and thus has the weakest area of potential hair grain pattern intensity and the left side of your head is the end of the spiral and thus has the stronger potential hair grain pattern intensity. This discrepancy isn’t noticed until you start trying to train these areas to wave up. The right side wants to go slightly downward and back, like its spiral pattern. Basically you hair grain on the right side needs more training to compensate for the fact that it is in a weak rotation area. I recommend brushing the right side twice as much as the left with a medium or hard brush to compensate for this discrepancy.
Many 360 wavers brush there right side at a more downward angle to help with these grain and rotational issues.
i have the same problem as the original poster of this thread. currently have my cornrows. what kind and style of hair do you have and that kit u talked about im gonna have to leave the hair in a fro?its gonna appear longer? help a brotha out been growin these damn braids for a while now and i got no hangtime

Maybe your hair is naturally curly. If thats the case it will continue to grow without the appearance of growing. Check by pulling your hair and seeing if it extends any longer.
