I wear a satiny type pull down joint and I wear a stocking cap over that because it keeps it tight. It works well for me. i probably get the same effect you guys get with the tie down joints. I wan't the Kevin Johnson, Keyshawn Johnson look.

I think my biggest problem was with brushing. I definitely wasn't true to the brushing game like some of you guys, I wanted the durag to do all the work. But my waves on top look really good so I'm not too mad at myself. Thanks again, I like this forum.

See but this guy I think has hair like me that isn't real nappy. Believe me, if u got hair like this u need to be wearing a durag more than jus overnight. If u don't there will be stick ups and frizzes all over. Those tend to blur the visibility of the waves.

Im not sayin to never let the hair 'breathe', but I think niggas like he and I need to wear them more than others.

Yeah when yo hair is long and u brush it does get all frizzy. Jus ignore it. The brushing is helping the wave development even if it looks like it's makein it worse. Usually when I get ready to go out I take off my durag and do touchups to the marks the rag left, but no heavy brushing to make it frizz up.

Other than that I suggest u jus get yo cut and see how it look then. Also do u not want waves on the sides and back? U should go 4 the all over 360 effect.

About the durag... I dont think it really matter that much how long u wear it. But instead of wearing it for hours at a time, take it off every hour or two and brush then put it back on. It'll be a better use of yo time than jus leavin on the durag.

EDIT: Keep the hard brush.

Also I have a kinda hard brush and sometimes it looks worse after I brush my hair, should I go softer and how soft is too soft.

I have been trying to get the 360 joints for years with no success. Right now I have waves really good on top and they are tight after I take my durag off but after a few hours or whatever my hair gets frizzy. I use the spartan stuff, lay it down and brush. Although I don't brush my hair for hours on end my waves should look better. I haven't had a cut in a month.

Also I wear my durag for hours at a time, is that too much. I'm going to get my haircut this friday and buy some jel. Any suggestions?
