Christian TN8IS's fresh wave theory! Deep

i dont think so, because, because the training of your hair to lay down forward onto the head seems like it wouldnt have any correlation to how your hair behaves when its much longer than a ceaser, and put back in a ponytail.  

GOOD sh*t ....AND U KNOW U STR8 IF U GOT AN OK FROM TOSH DA WAVE DOCTOR

Thx man, I always think the way to do the best at something is understanding it completely.  But jus like complex scientific theory, this too is only theory.  wouldnt it be crazy if some college was studying this ish?   thatd be crazy ish O.o

I think you are on point with your theory. A durag plays a big role in helping to train your hair to lay down.

smart post

Good info

good read.

YOU'RE WHITE?...and whys that guy smacking you around?

Okay, I have a new theory based on observations of statements, methods, product usage, and my own results. 

First, let me start of by saying I think the most important aspect of waving is... duragging.  Brushing lays your hair down the way you want it to in the right direction. 

Now, does anybody have any concept as to how waves are formed besides the old "a wave's a straightened out curl!!!"

Well.. what Im thinking is, when you brush your hair, you are straightening out curly hair temporarily.  Okay we all know that much right duh.  But whats happening (theoretically..) is even though until the end of your brushing session, your waves are slightly straightened out, your hair naturally wants to curl again since its texture hasnt changed.  After brushing, you durag.  this forces the straightened out hairs to stay relatively straight and layed out.  But the hairs try their best to curl again.  being so dense as hairs on your head are, curly, and flattened to your head, the hairs are forced to intertwine.  When the hairs start curling again, they curl together in uniform rows.  this im not sure of why.  But I'm thinking durag pressure is far more important and should vary differently for what level of wolfing, or how curly your hair is.  I am thinking after getting a very light or low cut, you want to have lower durag pressure because you dont want your aftercut fragile waves to get too much straighter.  also, for heavy wolfing, you really gotta get them naps layed out, so tighten as much as you can bear!  stretchy material durags make tighter hair holds with not a huge amount of forehead pressure easier. 

Now, to address the use of lets jam / pomades.
Lets Jams or pomades put in overnight, they have a huge history with waves.  we cant just discredit them for being bad for our hair, they been used for a reason, cuz it works.  or what i think it is, it makes it easier.  throughout the day, after taking your durag off WITH lets jam or pomade in, it acts as the force keeping your waves to your head, like a invisible durag... in a sense.  I think using hold products, you can brush less daily.  If you are an avid several hours a day natural product brusher, that works too because you are constantly laying your hair out all day.  Thats why some dudes are all for get up n brush, while others are like after takin off the rag dont toch da brush.  when u brush in the morning after lettin your pomade/ lets jam harden, you be breakin the glue like bonds the ish got on your hair holdin it down and in place.  thats why i think it be makin ur hair stickup jus a lil bit evem brushin wtg after that.

Now for evidence supporting my claims.  Check out the King Cash meth.  ever wolf without king cash meth and see your hair under the durag line that dont get held?  u gotta brush it every morning so it dont look like a big mess!  and yeah no waves there either, so that helps support the idea of duragging or whenever hair is held down is when waves form. 


next, pomade / lets jam theory.
lets check something out

skip down and take a look at cedclark's methods, a real legend for wavers.  I think his info would be reliable.

note his 4 methods, which without explanation, agree with my theory.

his maintanance and other 2 development meths with pomade include minimal brushing.
but his 4th, with no pomade or holding substance suggests lots of brushing, or wearing durags in home time or else u could possibly even lose waves.
yup, gotta keep ur ish held down to make them waves.  so, im glad u read everything.

oh and please, dont be the a**hole who just comes in and be like
"well no sh**"
cuz den ima have to smack u
