I stayed out of this topic but today this dude was looking star struck at my head. So finally he gets a pair and asks about them. "Damn what kinda wave grease do you use?" I looked him up and down and walked away.

using texturizer at da end of da day is da easy way out. to me its ppl dat dont wanna put da time and effort to brush as much as is needed. plus, textured waves dont look as good anyways and waves dat r not textured r stronger.

My mother used to wash my hair about with it every once in a while when i was younger. But I used to use it in High school when i had a afro...It would keep my hair soft and it felt sooo good. Then when i first got on here and read about its negetive effects, i regretted the fact that i ever used it.

I like apples but back on topic; some people are uneducated about waves. If it wasn't for pomade I wouldn't have waves at this point in time. Only using Carrot Crème or pink lotion or water requires too much work for some. I tried all those methods when I was younger when I had a lot of free time and only had school to worry about. Don’t get me wrong Carrot Crème, water or pink lotion yield great results; but it requires a lot of work to maintain your waves. By putting in the work to maintain = brushing time and the more brushing time = faster results. I found using pomade the correct way provides a laid back approach to getting waves which fits by current life style. By using the "right" amount of pomade greatly decreases the time needed to maintain your waves. Example in 2004 Christmas break, which was exactly 5 weeks long, I didn't brush longer than 20 seconds each day the whole time and of course I used a du-rag at night but my point is I didn’t lose a single wave. Carrot crème, water or pink lotion are the best methods for developing waves since they require you to continue brushing to maintain your waves and in the process of maintaining you improve. Furthermore pomade is best suited for maintaining and carrot crème, water or any lite hair product for that matter is best for developing waves. There are other advantages and disadvantages to each but there more of a personal thing.
i didnt want them to touch my hair cuz dem lil n****s is bad dey'll scratch, rub, and brush wit one of dem hollywood beauty brushes atg i be ready to kiCK dey lil asses but my waves still be on point dey be lookin mad crazy like...................................................................................................................................

LOL yeah but just last week I saw a guy with nice texture and I said to him what you put in your hair cause he was spinning he said he doesn't need to put anything in his hair for it to wave up like that he only uses pomade when he goes to a special event I was like your hair just waves up like that and all you use is water and durag. His hair was lookin dry but he was spinning and I just said try CC or pinklotion

Most people that i know with waves swears by pomade. They always think that i'm lying when i say that i don't use it (they think i got a secret stash in my room. el oh el). When they saw my cc they started laughin cuz they said that's what theur moms use.
But if you think about it...the reason that the people that use pomade have "some waves" is because when they apply the pomade they have to brush it in for a lil while. And as ya know brushin gets you waves (it just takes them A LOT longer cuz they only do it for a few minutes...and the pomade is just increasing the visibility of the little waves that they do have)
