QuoteReplyTopic: Been trying to wave since August. Posted: January 21 2007 at 5:19pm
The products I have: Sportin' Waves gold can, 360 Waves, Murrays orange can, Carrot Cream, Pink lotion, Lets Jam, S-Curl Wave Jel Activator, SuperGroomer soft brush, Annie hard brush, and a double sided brush named, The Fade.
Well, in August, this is when I got a haircut. A little short, and the man mentioned, "If you use pomade, and brush. Your hair will start to wave." So this sort-of inspired me, so my brother recommended me to this website. So I started following the brushing instructions. I used Sportin Waves black can, and a Annie hard brush. Then came my hair cut, the damned man cut my waves out. I thought I just could brush them back in. Now, don't get confused, my father is black, and my mother is light skinned, with nice hair. Most of my mother's family has straight wavy hair. And we have a bit of Indian, and white in us. My father's side is black people hair, lol. Yet my father's mother is light skinned with straight black hair, as mine is. When I have long hair, before I was waving.
I'd have wavy hair, that friends would notice. I could run my hand through it and feel the waves. But, now I have trouble getting waves with my short hair, I only have waves on my lining on the top of my hair, their shiny. Then my hair is pretty natural, yet shiny. I used to use pomade, yet I thought it was heavy. I though my hair was too nice for it. So every morning, I'd put pink lotion in my hair and brush with a soft brush, it looked nice, And every two days, I'd wash my hair, and apply my hair with Pink lotion. I'd then du-rag, I'd wake up. And see my hair is STRAIGHT down, with the two waves visible. I admired this look, yet I hardy had waves. Then I started using Sportin Waves Gold again. I'd wash my hair, apply pink lotion, brush then apply pomade. Wake up, apply pink lotion, and add pomade. Now I left this method, and stop using pomade for good. I started using Carrot cream, and pink lotion together, after washing my hair. But in the morning, I'd only use Pink lotion, and brush with a soft brush.

I notice how my hair sticks up when I use a hard brush, now I only use soft brushes. I just brought some S-Curl Jel Activator. And Lets Jam. S-Curl sort-of helped out, yet no waves. Lets Jam is must lighter, and it feels better. Imma start using it.

Will this help in identifying my hair texture? I will post some pictures. I'm pretty sure I trained my hair, since no hair sticks up. And my hair is always pretty moist(Pink lotion).

I refered to some old pages. I put some S-Curl Jel Activator in my hair for 4 minutes, then brushed like a maniac with my medium. Then put some Pink oil in, and brushed a bit more with my soft brush. Then put my du-rag on, I took it off 23 minutes later, I have a change of texture, and when I look at my hair I could see dips about 4 inches apart. Is this a good sign?

I have been brushing, in fact I've been doing it since August. Count how many months that is, do the math. I HAVE been brushing, matter of fact. 30 minutes at a time, even when my computer was broken.

Why so many posts to ask one question?? I'm pretty sure if you read the previous thread, you'll find your answers.
I've been on this board just as long as you have, I just never tried posting. Instead, I tried to search around, and find my answers for myself. You see, I'm not the one to try to trouble others for my OWN problems. Yet it became so ridiculous, I thought I HAD to ask a question or two. Excuse myself for asking A QUESTION. A question can be hard, or easy. If you have studied your facts, the question would come as easy. Yet, if you struggle at the question, I suggest you to keep your damned comments to your self. OK? Now, I find myself in a predictament, in determining what your response will be. Better yet, don't respond at all. Leave this topic to the 360 Veterans.

lmao! hell naw...you trippin. calm down yo DAMN he let em have it. you got heated so quick tsunamiwave. check it, the key is wolfin and brushin. u also need to moisturize...that many products arent necessary. youd do well with CC or LJ or PL or H2O. Or a combination of 2 (excluding water of course). dont touch the pomades unless you feel its ABSOLUTELY and i mean 100% NECSSARY too. other than that ask on, it never hurts to ask. btw its not only the VETs that know their stuff tsunam...alot of us got the knowledge on that subject.
on the other note it is rude when someone asks a question to waste a post not to be helpful but just to give em a redundant statement or attitude, instead of posting "go check previous threads" why not give em some CONSTRUCTIVE criticism like "heres the answer....however next time check the stickies..etc. etc." its much better
Good luck fam. and lets keep that brotherly love up in here k?

^^^cosign... you gotta understand all of us on this site have a quick fuse for repeatitive questions... wolf and brush... and keep repeating the process and eventually your waves will develop.. now if uve been @ it since august and still have nothing to show for it maybe your doing something wrong.. is your hair to low past your wave length?? it could be anything... u should prob post some pics so we can get an idea of waht kinda texture ur dealing wit...
@Black Plague, I just listed the products I have used in the past. I'm currently using Lets Jam orange top, Pink Lotion, Carrot Cream, and S-Curl Jel Activator. I prefer Pink lotion over Carrot cream, but I only use Carrot cream after washing my hair, it lays my hair down and feels better. @LDIZLWhen I got my haircut 13 weeks ago, I looked to see if I was doing anything wrong. Then I started using pomade again, and using a hard brush after washing my hair. Then in the morning, add a little more pomade, and brush with asoft brush. Now I went back to my old technique without pomade. I've used the H20 method in the shower, and put shampoo in and brush it in and out while my hair was wet. IT never worked. I only use my Soft brush, and my medium brush now. I'll provide some pictures, no batteries for my camera. lolFor now my method is. Morning:Apply Pink lotion, brush with soft brush for 12 minutes. Apply Lets Jam(sometimes) brush for 5 more minutes. Off to school.

New method: Apply Pink lotion,use a soft brush for two minutes to get the Pink lotion in my hair. Apply S-Curl Jel Activator, let it sit for 4 minutes, let it moisturize and curl a bit. Then brush with a medium for a couple of minutes, then use soft brush for the rest. Then apply a durag. *About 2 hours later* Wash hair.
Washing: Apply Tres'Seme(Bitch sh*t, no choice.) Then put a bit of water in my hair, smooth it in, let it sit for a while and add the Frutese(Spelling error) conditioner. Then rinse out. Dry hair a bit, apply pink lotion, then carrot cream. Then brush with a soft brush, for twelve minutes. Wet du-rag, and put on. When it gets dry, wet it again. Apply Pink lotion, brush then strap on again. Do it twice, then it ends here.
