As some of you already know, I recently joined the forum. I submitted some pics and received alot of questions asking about tips and tricks to speed up the wave progress. So I decided to give my method to everyone. 
Before I started the wave progess, I had a bald head with lil shrubs of hair. I constantly brushed my hair evenly when I awoke and before I went to bed. I guess of a maximum of about 20-30 minutes a day. As my hair got longer I would wear a durag and a wave cap. For some reason the durag held my hair down, while the wave cap would detail my hair more. The products I would use is Nutri Grow, which feeds your hair nutrients. I also sometimes used "Ultra Sheen", which just kept my hair moist. I now brushed in the shower, when I get out of the shower I would put on some hair oil and comb it in, then brush from temple or crown to my lining. While my hair is a little damp, I would put on my durag and go to sleep. I wash and condition my hair every other day. Let me know if there is any more questions or if I left something out?

No. I'd be surprised if I had any waves if I brushed that little. Brush to live live to brush.
