some people like me who have VERY fine hair only use softies and occasionally meds(to speed up the wave process).

but when my hair wuz high and i found out bout this site, i used a hard IN and OUT the shower. with that said it only took me only 2-3 weeks to get waves.

....i have a very fine and soft texture.....and only use softy and rarely med

Depending on your hair texture, a soft brush is, for the most part, most effective when your hair is below a 1 and a half guard.

As you can see, I mentioned hair texture as a factor in my post.

My last barber cut my waves out around the end on '05. It set me back several weeks, but I recovered and switched barbers.

a softy just makes my hair angry...lol...does nothin but barely move my hair...i can use it for the first couple of days but it feels like its doing nothing after that point.

i wanna spin too, lemme do it

I knew it - that softy bullsh*t was starting to piss me off.

dub c in the place to be always giving knowledge........ i like that mayne

Eff that^ If WC makes another thread there's gonna be a problem! lol jp...i've been likin ur informative and other survey-like threads. keep it comin bruh.

"A hard or medium brush can be an answer to this wave conundrum." - WC

At the end of my first week i started usin a medium and at the middle of the 2nd i started usin a hard one. I'm just experimenting.

I do agree with wave connection. After a certain point a softy is ineffective. It would only help with getting surface waves.

Nicely said.

I completely agree...when i started waving on the top of my head some time ago i was all about a softy until i saw i was getting nowhere with it after a few weeks...with my texture using a softy to wave is like trying to kill a fly with a toothpick, possible but ineffective. But WC your always contributing good reads, good lookin out fam

Man...i had tha sick ones on top, but started ova for tha 360 spinnas

in a way you could be right and in a way you could be wrong!!! in my case you're wrong!!! in othr cases ur right!!! but i know ppl with the super easy wave hair like chris dog and three six oh that can only use a soft brush cause anything else hurts their hair!!!

Btw, S.C., what I do know is that ChrisDog and TSOH recommend medium brushes for hair textures like theirs.

Oh no there definitely is a point where a softy is no longer useful but for me it works fine up to 7 weeks. After that it is overkill. One thing you fail to mention is that scalps vary from person to person. I'm on week 10 and using a hard brush for over 25 minutes gives me serious scalp pains. The defing factor in brushes is your scalp, not hair length.

The facts are that after your hair reaches a certain length, you need a medium or hard brush to maintain effective hair/wave training.

Please note that I said a medium or hard brush. Also, note that the exact point at which a soft brush becomes ineffective differs from individual to individual, as hair growth rates differ. But the facts are that when your hair length reaches some theoritical point, a soft brush will eventually lose efficacy.

Okay but you're arguing semantics because before a certain point you can't use a medium or hard. It's the same back and forth. They all have use. Their isn't one particularly better than another.
