BenBlaze, you're panicking.  Don't worry about that problem, it's just an "unruly" wave.  It is not unraveling, but it's retracting.  In order to fix this problem, put a little extra LJOT or pomade on the area and brush it down with the rest of your hair.  Immediately put on your durag and wave cap for a minimum of 30 minutes.  Repeat this process until the wave flattens and regains it "S" pattern.

By the way...what kind of brush are you using? at that length i'm still usin a softy. But our textures may be different so u may need a medium brush (nothing more than that)

bruh...i doubt that there's a scalp on this planet that's been brushed more than mine so i can tell you from experience that there's no such thing as overbrushing! But if you wanna slow it down then that's fine. But i think i brushed the most during this wolfin session and shows when i look at my right side's connection (it improved a lot). Usually when i get low cuts my right's waves are deeper than the rest of my head (curliest side) but they're scattered. This time they're deep and connected better.

So wolfin and brushin is worth it! Just do it to the point that u feel comfortable

Yeah I read that topic, but it never mentioned anything about your
waves unraveling and how to fix them.
If you don't have any suggestions to help me then don't post anything at all. No disrespect..that's just how I feel.

I've been on my grind with the brush and I think I've found a con to brushing hours at a time. I usually brush 45-1hr a day, but for the last week I've been going 3-4 hours.

now a part of my wave is starting to unravel. It's barely noticeable to the naked eye, but it is driving me crazy. Will wofling this out solve this problem? Because I'm not trying to start over. 3 months of hard work will be down the drainOuch
