Your Ethiopian, that's cool im Eritrean( rite next to it fo yall who dnt noe and it's by the Red Sea). The modern state of Eritrea gained its independence from Ethiopia following a 30-year war that lasted from 1961 to 1991. So im basically Ethiopian too (Habisha). Welcome to the site.

I needa see pics of your hair. Most people tell me i got that good east african hair. Some think im mixed because i got that good texture.( yall will see pics of my hair on tomorrows battle)

Yeah Im full Ethiopian. We got soft straight hair for the most part. But not as straight as lets say Dominicans or Ricans.

Here is a picture before I got a cut yesterday. This picture shows about two weeks of work.

My barber said people with straighter hair should not brush that much (max 10 minutes a day). I dont know if he's right. So Im looking for some of your opinion.

I realize I got to wolf but for how long? Do any of yall have experience wolfing with this type of hair? Also what products? Is a thicker pomade better for straight hair or something else? How often do I use the products? How often do I shampoo the products out? Do yall have more success with durags or caps? I know its alot of questions. Appreciate the help again, its just harder for us East Africans.

I'll post more recent pics soon.

I realize I got to wolf but for how long?  Well how much growth is that i may be able to tell ya by judging by this
 
 
Do any of yall have experience wolfing with this type of hair? Chrisdog212 and Frizzle do.
 
Also what products? ummmm. i have no idea...maybe a curl activator (by S-curl) and carrot cream
 
Is a thicker pomade better for straight hair or something else? I doubt it but ask Chris and Frizzle
 
 How often do I use the products? Whenever your hair feels dry/ unmoisturized. Don't over use em
 
How often do I shampoo the products out? ehhh...everyother day's fine
 
Do yall have more success with durags or caps? King Cash's Du Rag Method

In 25's defense, it does look like he brushes his top/left at a slant.

aight we got pics of ur hair so i can help you out now some
when you wolf wolf for a LONG time not short amounts of time and then get it trimmed and keep going
use scurl so it helps the process of curling your hair more than it is right now
keep using carrot creme
and when your hairs wet brush it with a softy, keep using a softy while ur wolfing and once u get to the point in wolfing that the softy doesnt keep ur hair down use a hard brush
and when you go to the barber
never get it cut to low i cant stress that enough cause ur just gonna take out all ur progress cause ur hairs "straight"
but hey
if you need some help with some things pm me or frizzle cause im pretty sure either of us could help
 
EDIT
and for the waves that yall see that are forming different
its not cause hes brushing incorrectly (but it can be)
cause i brush my hair correctly and when it gets close to the hair line the waves like go down instead of straight if you see what im saying its like im trying to brush my hair line in an an angle when im not
i would show a pic but my cameras batterys are charging.......they always go dead when you wanna use them anyone notice that?\
 
EDIT
AGAIN!?!
haha
well i was lookin through my album of my pictures (of waves)
and i found one that i could show you guys what im talkin about
now look at the right close to my hair line and u see the wave thats going in an angle?
well i can brush my hair the correct way
and its going to stay facing that way nothing i can do about it, it does it on the other side to with my edge and my hairline
