I'm having trouble getting my hair to lay all the way down. It's been about 2 weeks since a hair cut, and I keep my hair at like a #2 level haircut. I'm trying to wait 4 weeks to get deeper wave patterns. But my hair curls up when I put the DAX in, it don't lay it all the way down or if I just pack lots of pomade in then it will lay down somewhat but it looks white and dry. I was wondering does gel hold your hair down better than the pomades do? ------------- Tryna get 360's |

You should try a thicker pomade. I suggest Murray's orange can or Murray's yellow can...Nu Nile. -------------  "i will make life very uncomfortable 4 u on the internet....u mess wit me bad enough..." -Cardinal an e-thug at his finest.

Murray's and Nu Nile are very similar. The Murray's site says that they are of the same thickness. Your choice. ------------- "i will make life very uncomfortable 4 u on the internet....u mess wit me bad enough..." -Cardinal an e-thug at his finest.

When it's curled and you get it to lay down, just durag it for a while and let it press down ------------- Official Dream Team Member http://www.dreamteam360.net/ - Dream Team Website "DatYoungStar"...going to Hollywood and bringing Brooklyn along son |

ya when u puttin in ur pomade and u start brushin ur hair should straighten out for a second and curl down and thats a good thing because when u put ur du-rag on the curls should stay down and form a wave. you also might wanna put in more pomade that was my problem i didnt put enough in but dont cake ur hair. i suggest nu nile, bodygaurd ur mistaken dawg on the site murrayz is a level thicker than nu nile u cn feel the difference 2. and WHERE A DURAG WHENEVER U AINT BRUSHIN. holla ------------- waves and not brushin dats a oxymoron not brushin, u must be a moron thanx spinna |

I don't know bout putting more pomade. Most hair products say put a liberate amount. More is not necessarily better.

I guess I just need to put more nu nile in because I bought some and it doesn't hold mine down. Like it works when it's shorter but when it gets longer like it is now it's not holding it down. So should I wash it then put the pomade in and brush it down straight, and then du rag it, until I start the process over again. ------------- Tryna get 360's |

ya wash it, moisturize, nu nile it, hot towel, brush it, and u should be straight. i kno when i put mine in when i brush a section of my hair it gets really straight then curls back up thats when u put ur durag on 2 lay down the curls. if that aint workin i'd switch 2 murrays (thickest of them all) bmail me 2 let me kno how it works out ------------- waves and not brushin dats a oxymoron not brushin, u must be a moron thanx spinna |

Okay so let me get this straight... While you are training you are supposed to keep it mosturized and brush. Right? Then once you have waves pomade will bring them out more. Right? So if you're still training your hair using pomade is a waste...right? ------------- "i will make life very uncomfortable 4 u on the internet....u mess wit me bad enough..." -Cardinal an e-thug at his finest.

Okay I will try it tonight but I don't know how to email people on here. Also should I brush it after I take off the durag or just leave it alone. ------------- Tryna get 360's |

i dont think so. i think when u use a pomade it helps to get u waves and hold your hair down so your curls will form to waves and stay down. but pink lotion does help in my opinion. ------------- waves and not brushin dats a oxymoron not brushin, u must be a moron thanx spinna |

Hey darunkid do you brush your hair after taking your durag off? I can do that when I have short hair but now that it's longer it frizzes up my waves. ------------- Tryna get 360's |

yea Bodyguard that's what I'm saying. That's why when I train it, I just use a dime size of 360 every other day. I mostly put wave gel and pink lotion in my hair. All that tough murray's stuff doesn't work good when my hair is low. Nu nile seems aight tho but it's thicker than 360. ------------- Official Dream Team Member http://www.dreamteam360.net/ - Dream Team Website "DatYoungStar"...going to Hollywood and bringing Brooklyn along son |
