I just cut my braids out last week tuesday. I've been brushing like crazy since then. I use pink oil in my hair and have a spritzer bottle for my hair mixed with conditioner in it. I use the both of them when i brush.I follow all the shampooing steps and the get out the shower and while my hair is wet, I rub pink oil in then murrays pomade and then brush. I get a smooth pattern goin and my back is already wavin. Before i go to sleep i do the little spritzer and pink oil and brush for like almost a hour and then spritz my rag. I wake up in the morning and then my hair looks dry and non wavy as carpet. Why is this and what should i do!

Stop using the pink oil/conditioning spritzer at night. Here's what I do:

1. Shower/Thoroughly clean my hair.

2. Get out and dry off but leave my hair the way it is.

3. Brush my hair until it is at a reasonable moistness. (not visibly wet,but moist to the touch)

4. Apply the grease to my hair. (I personally use the Dax red can)

5. Brush my hair until grease is evenly distributed and comb out any clumps of grease.

6. Brush for another 15-20 mins.

7. Wash my face w/ Nutrogena face wash. (removes any grease that is on my face from brushin)

8. Give a quick touch up to my hair

9. Throw the du-rag on.

10. Wake up in the morning, brush my hair after getting dressed brushin teeth n whatever.

11. If hair needs some shine, throw a SMALL amount of pink lotion in,brush and du-rag for 5 mins

12. Off to class

I found that the pink lotion overnight dryed out my hair severly.

Wow.  Awesome tips.  Thanks for sharing.  You are the 3rd person in the last week that said the pink lotion will dry out hair. 

Do you use a special comb to get the xtra grease out or just a regular comb?

I find that alot of people I speak to about waves agree that pink lotion dry's out your hair. I would say try and use a fine tooth comb to get the clumps out.I will try and get some pics up to show my waves. It's been about 3 month's and they are spinning hard. Since you recently cut your braids off, I would say let your hair grow for about 6 months,getting a cut once a month and a line up in between then. This will allow your waves to develop a pattern and become nice and deep at the same time.

I find that washing my hair every other day and putting grease in every other day makes my hair easier to maintain and keep clean w/ that healthy natural look.

Thanks. I think that pink lo lo is best for low cuts. When my hair was low it looked moist now that it got kinda thick it gets dry. I read the old 360 archives and found a new produc to try, lets jam so im going to see how it does. I tried twistas method but that baby oil kinda made my hair stick up. So i hope i will have success with that let's jam. I need to figure out how to set up them pics. Like a link or something. So people can see my progress.

pink lotion has the problem of buildin up in ur hair and not getting absorbed into the scalp. its not really that ur hair is dry. but when you brush over again, all the product comes to the surface.

the addition of spritz isnt helping. mixing water and pink lotion adds to the buildup. stop using the spritz... you should establish ur waves first, but i think after you have done that, youll find that you dont even need the spritz anyway.

try what charliehustle said.

i never really used pink lotion, but yeah if it drys out ya hair den find another moisterizer, like carrot creme by hollywood beauty, or mane n tail carrot creme,or any moisterizer.
