I use da Sportin waves maximum pomade, I think it brings da best results, its just kinda hard to wash out depending of how much u put in your hair.

couple questions: after i get my next cut (number 2 since they started appearing), should i start to see them with my hair lower? and with my hair cut low like it is i noticed that i can put in the 360 at night, then some more in the morning w/o my hair being really greasy. is this a good or bad idea?

Just dont cut your **** to low, And just brush your hair alot every chance you get and your waves will start to spin. All that 360 , murrays, and SW pomade dont meen nothin if you dont brush your hair alot.

Brushing is the key. I know people who have 360 waves and never used a durag or a kit. They used regular grease and just brushed.

If you get your stuff cut by a professional barber who knows about the waves and other hairstyles, then he or she should know how low to cut your hair so that your waves will show more or be neater.
