If there are any people here with straight hair let me know your method and if I need to buy any products. I talked to my barber and he said all I need is a little pomade mixed with wax and durag. He said I dont need to brush too much. NOW I respect my barber alot but I dont know if he was right about brushing. So if you got straight hair (im Ethiopian descent to give you an idea) holla at me with a simple method. Appreciate it.

I could be like everyone and tell u to search the boards.
 
But i'll give u a lil advice.
 
First off, show pics of ur hair if u can. It's kind of hard to solve a problem without knowin what the problem looks like.
 
I got some friends who are Ethopian or Somalian and they pretty much have that wavy-ish frizzy type hair.
 
If ur hair isn't low already, cut it down low and start trainin it to grow forward instead of upward. U can do this by wettin ur hair, brushin, and wearing a wave cap to sleep. Keep trainin ur hair by using a lot of brushin, and wave-cappin. Don't ever sleep wit out a wavecap.
 
Let ur hair grow out for atleast 3 to 4 weeks and u should see some results.
 
Trust. This comin from a guy wit relatively straight hair.

Yep^ And isn't Don Twista Ethiopian? He's barely ever on here but look up his posts and try to find his method. But you should actually be brushin even more since ur hair is straight. But like Frizzle said, post pics so we can see your texture and help u more

yea, cop the one by S-curl. it'll help curl you hair and once you brush it it'll change into an "S" formation
