QuoteReplyTopic: new guy lookn for wave tips Posted: October 11 2006 at 4:41pm
hey what up to all....i'm new here and i'm lookin for tips on gettin
waves for tha first time. let me start off by first sayin that i'm
mixed with black, french, and filipino..my dad is black/french cuz he
from new orleans and my mom is asian (filipino) wit sum slight spanish.
anyway, i had curly hair as a kid but not sure now since i stay rockin
a low cut caesar as shown in my pic below and never really experimented
with it except for growing it long a few times and usin sheen or gel
for curls. what i do know for a fact though is that my pops can get 'em
since he bi-racial. so yeaa, if anyone can help me out or give me tips
if whether or not i can get them or not, even though i always thought i
couldn't since i didn't think my hair was thick enough. few years back
when i did mess wit wave caps n sh*t i ended up wit parts tha next day
but i didn't know what i was doing. what i do nowadays is only use
coconut oil for conditioning as that is what people on my moms side
ethnically use. oh, and im gettin my hair cut low again in a couple
days as i always so every 2 weeks or so..thinkin bout tryin a light or
medium pomade if it works?

read thru quite a few otha threads to get ideas and been tryin'
somethin out..for now i use s-curl activator, a medium pomade, wave
cap, and a soft brush. but i figure since my hair ain't exactly curly
or thick-ish and kinda straight maybe i shouldnt be brushin so much,
usin a wave cap to mash it all down, or a pomade to hold it down either
since waves are straightened out curls. hopefully someone can help me
out now with atleast a little something..im thinkin that perhaps i
should stick to curl activators for now in opposed to usin da other
stuff until tha curls come in for me to start brushin'.....
anyways meth im steady usin now is brushin in da shower, usin s-curl act, pomade, wave cap...ect more brushin
360s comin

hey i have dead straight hair n it always stick up spike all the time i want to know whai should to get wave in my hair cuz i use the wave cream and my du rag but it didn't work any method
1. shampoo your hair, to remove all previous products.
2. Apply conditioner on you hair, while it is wet. Not coconut conditioner, but actual conditioner that you wash out.
3. While the conditioner is on your wet hair cover it with two plastic shower caps, aka plastic bags. and wear them for about an hour.
4. after an hair remove the the plastic bags and you should notice that your hair has a little bit o curl pattern to it.
5. lightly rinse the conditioner out then for the last rinse, rinse it with cold water
6. take a dime size amount of your wave pomade (i think that you mentioned using 360?) w/e wave pomade you use A LITTLE GOES A LONG WAYS!!
7. take a dime size amount of your coconut pomade and mix the two dime size amounts together buy simply rubbinng your hands together.
8. once the palms of your hands are covered lightly rub the mixture on your hair in the direction that you want the waves/curls, without using a com or a brush .
9. you should notice a pattern developing if you dont see a slight pattern you've used too m uch pomade and cocnut mix. only use a dime size, or less of each, for your entire head.
10. once you see the pattern lightly tie your hair down with your cap and you're set.
what's your email? check back and tell me how it worked.

na brushing your hair over and over is for people with hard hair. If your hair is soft just follow the steps that i've listed above. It's real simple for people who have naturally soft hair like me.

yeah like he said it depends on your hair type like if yo hair soft just get pink lotion motorizer dont worry bout the pomade and brush and when youin the shower just shampoo but when you shampoo brush and when you conditioner get a rinse out one brush that out too and dry your hair 90 percent and brush rest dry but when you brushing to dry add just a little conditioner -------then put the mousterizer in and brush the main point is you have brush to get waves so brush whenever you can and dont worry bout pomade you dont have to do all dem steps you can if you want to but you dont have to
