Ey guys, I cant seem to get em down man. This is what I do

1. Rinse hair and brush 20 times on each side (fron, sides, back)
2. Apply shampoo, brush into hair 20 times on each side (fron, sides, back)
3. Brush shampoo out
4. While hair is still wet/damp, apply pink moisturizer
5. Brush in 20 times on each side
6. Apply carrot creme, brush like 10 times on each side and apply the rag

at night a apply carrot creme and brush for about and hour on all sides...Than apply the rag to sleep.

Im using a hard brush, idk why it isnt working, Ive been doing this since about 2 weeks ago when I got my hair cut down to a 1 or 1.5. Check out the pics







Can anyone tell me what Im doing wrong? or what I can do to improve/get my 360s? Is my hair too straight or do I need to use diff palmade or what? Holla at cha boy!

so my hair is short, so I just need to keep doing what Im doing and as it get longer it will wave? Or do I need to switch brushes or try a different method or what?

**Also these pics were taken right after I brushed 20x on each side

Im mixed, so is there another method I should try since my hair isnt nappy but isnt straight? Or is everything Im doing fine and just let it grow and keep brushing with a hard brush?
Also how often between morning and night should I brush?

ppl with mixed hair usually have to wait to their hair gets longer results vary no 1 person is the same...wait awhile before you get that activator...let you hair get real dark a month or more if you can you should start to see results.
