I don't know what it is, but this week my hair has been looking worse than ever. All week Ive been trying to use anything except pomade, but when I take my cap off it just looks like matted up mess. Pomade lays it down good before but I tried going w/o it this week.  Then I left my new brush at my girls house (4hrs away) it was the hard annie....So i've been using the hard side of the annie 2071 double sided, but it doesn't seem to do the same. Maybe its the way the bristles are(b/c to me they don't seem to be as neatly separated and aligned like the single sided one) but it just doesn't seem to do my hair right...I think I'm gonna get a cut today. I can't take it! It doesn't look like I have waves at all!!!!!!And all of this b/c I wanted waves down to my neckline...DAMMIT BOY!!!!!  Let me show u:

This is how it looks after I washed it, and brushed it til dry w/Olive Creme...Again, brushing it with the hard side of the double sided brush doesn't seem to be doing ANYTHING compared to the other brush...
 
 
 
 
So then of course I want to smooth it out w/a softee, but like I told ya'll before, the softee makes all of my hair curl up on the ends. ITs like the hair curls backwards. So what I'll do is I'll just brush it maybe two strokes a side with a softee to smooth the waves out. ANything more than 2-3 strokes will have my hair looking like a scurl or something....(oh, notice how in the pics above  my hair looks one way,but as soon as I use the softee it looks like I have bald spots..thats b/c the waves are curling up so far u can see my scalp...and thats w/o Jam, pomade, or anything..thats just after brushing w/olive creme and brushing until my hair is pretty dry):
 
 
So then I put a wave cap on for about 45 mins, just to show ya'll how it looks laid down...The following two pics are w/o jam and right after my  2 stroke softee brushing...
 
 
See! U can only see about 2 waves! WHERE DID MY WAVES GO!!! So then I say, ok, let me damnpen it about and brush w/some Jam and let it chill for the night.....Well, when I wake up it looks like this
 
Not much better IMO. So its taking everything I got not to cut it b/c I swear it looks like Im either losing waves or breaking up the few connections I had. So I'm either gonna go and buy another brush (like the one I left at my chicks) and brush the hell out of my hair all day w/the pomade in it or go and cut it off....What do ya'll think?

you might have to buy another hard brush, give it another week, this is what works when for me when I feel like gettin a cut: I wash my hair thorouhly (leave conditioner in there for awhile) and brush that sh*t down. To me it looks like you just need a better brush thats all.

ummmm. I know this might be a suprise coming out of my mouth but i think you should end your wolfing session and get a cut. The reason that i say this is because i don't want you to reach your break point (its in "Wave..."). You may lose connects and some waves. I don't think you've reached that point yet but if i were you i'd get a cut 2day! Others may tell ya otherwise so its up to u.

I think it's time to get a hair cut. That hair is wild. Seriously though, when you get that cut those waves that you have that are breaking up make turn out to be pretty decent.

Thanks. Yeah, I told Cash the other day that I was gonna take a series of pics just to show this site what I be going through and complaining about over here. Like I said, if I use that dax it looks much better, but I haven't tried it w/this ds brush yet...don't think I want to.

Man, I'm tellin u...I do the conditioning thing, and i've come to the conclusion I don't like the pink lotion shampoo/conditioner...I'm gonna go back to creme of nature shampoo and cholesterol conditioner (worked good when I had braids).

I'm really trippin though b/c Ive never wolfed this long (and its getting pretty damn long on the top, long enough to pick it out or twist it up a lil bit) but I'm use to my hair looking like this even when its a lil longer than usual (see below)

Thats me in the airbrushed shirt...and this pic was taken from like 15ft away..
 
 
I don't know how to resize them well. But the pic below was taken from about 5 ft away...
 
 
On these pics below, my hair was pretty long too. And u can see them pretty good
 
SEE WHAT I MEAN!!!!!!!

Yeah man, I'm gonna cut it...either today or tomorrow....I think may hair may do better w/shorter wolfing sessions. I think JQRS said something like that about his hair once...

Yea, you're probably better off doing shorter sessions. What week are you on now?  By the way, you'll be able to wolf a lil longer after this session :-)

cc cholesterol is good. I usually leave a little in and brush a lot (your hair stays soft and damper longer). But don't leave in a lot conditioners are meant to be washed out

Tru Texan, you're good. 
 
The out of control nature of your hair and the wave curling that you are dealing with is caused by your hair's nappy texture. What needs to be understood is that this nappiness works to your advantage.  For the most part, the nappier that your is, the more "micro" your waves will be.  Also, your wolfin sessions will be harder to manage than someone with a smoother texture.  So, in order to optimize your waving process, you need to use a hard/medium brush the majority of the time and make sure that your hair is adequately moisturized.  Getting a hair cut is best for you at this time because you run the risk of losing defintion and connection due to the hair's unruliness.  When your hair is unruly and you're not able to make it behave in a "waving manner" when brushing, your hair's undergrowth will tend to straighten.  This is why some people wolf and don't see optimal results.  You have to know when to cut your hair or you may run the risk of over-wolfin.

When I wolfed for 7 weeks my hair was soo ugly, I lost motivation and stop brushing to my progress wasnt prolly at its best. But That time did make a difference. So what im saying is dude can cut it now or wait it out. His choice.
