QuoteReplyTopic: my wave knowledge.... Posted: December 30 2004 at 1:20pm
All the information for getting waves (brushing in the shower, etc.) are all spread out over the site so I thought I'd put everything I've learned on this sit into one post... Don't jump down my throat if you don't like it, just ignore it lol. This is just something to help beginners to create their own method. Chris
How To Get Waves
The curls/coils in your hair are the key to getting waves. If your hair is straight the you will not get waves because a wave is a straightened out curl. The curlier (or nappy) your hair is, the more waves you will have in your hair. Deep waves comes from letting your hair grow. Everyone’s waves will not look the same, it depends on your hair type. Some people have different textures throughout their head, therefore your waves may have a slightly different look or may not be totally the same. Though it may not be noticeable. Pomade is not what develops waves. So if you don’t use it, it doesn’t matter. Pomade is used to help hold down your hair and help define them, but it isn’t necessary for the process.
Use pomade before your brush/du rag Brush hair at most 1/1 ½ hours daily Clean hair at least every other day to keep hair healthy Brush hair in shower to make them more uniform Wear du rag when not busy and to bed. Spray du rag with water or moisturizer while wearing. Get a hair cut every 2-4 weeks to make them deeper While hair is long, comb hair as well as brush (hard brush)
Brushing: When brushing your hair start from the center of your head and brush out in every direction towards your lining. Example: From the crown to your forehead, crown to your left temple, etc. From your crown it should make a circle.
Pomade: Pomade is not what makes waves so if you don’t use it, it doesn’t matter. Pomade is used to help hold down your hair and help define them, but it isn’t necessary for the process. Either place a fingertip of pomade into your hand and rub it until it softens, place it in a sink of hot water until it melts, or melt it with a blow drier, then apply it evenly into your hair. Thoroughly rub it into your hair with your palm. If the pomade isn’t melted, take a hot towel and place it on your head to melt the grease, or you can use a blow drier. After you apply the pomade brush it into your hair.
Moisturizing: Use pink lotion or Scurl Moisturizer to keep your hair from drying out. Whenever you think you need it throughout the day.
Ice Pomade: Use this pomade sparingly (going out, etc.), it is possible that it will damage or irritate the skin near your lining.
Water technique: While you are brushing, spray your hair with water and brush it dry. Keep repeating this until you’re finished brushing.
There is no such thing as a stupid question only a lot of inquisitive idiots.
damn, i hate to be the first person to question this thread due to my history, but i got 2 questions. I agree wit everything else but i question the only brushing 1 1/2 hours a day. If thats the case then i need to pull back on my brushing by 40%. And the only other thing i question is washin hair every couple of days.....i was told by some dt members (cant remember, it wuz when i first joined) to wash everyother week??

1 1/2 hours? I don't brush that much and I haven't for a while. As far as washing I would say every other day or once a week if you use lots of products. But if you only using a moisturizer and no pomade then once every 2 weeks is cool.

Cheater, Do you wash every other week, cuz if so how does your hair feel? Is it soft, itchy etc? I usually wash every day and apply new moisturizer and pomade daily. What about ya'll?
