I dont think that is a very good question. Maybe your parents just dont think that your hair is long enough for a cut.

it not a must you have a cut but if you want your hair to look nice and neat you will get it cut, the du-rag will only do so much and also the thicker your hair the more pomade you will have to use. also the main purpose for a cut with waves is the cut makes them just pop out and spin even more if you got em.

Eh...
The reason is because at some point your hair will be too long for it to lay flat and you will look really bad. We say to get a cut about every 3-4 weeks until fully developed because you won't look horrible in that time. After it's trained a cut every 2 weeks should keep you lookin fresh.

u can see my waves really well now, my only problem is connecting the sides. its kinda like i dont want to lose my waves (if the barber does it wrong), but i really need a cut. and how do u know if ur hair is trained? today i didnt put any pomade in my hair, thinkin i was gettin a cut. and i put a wave cap on, and took it off and had waves.

Do you see what you just learned? Pomade isn't necessary! As long as you tell the barber to go WITH the grain your cut should be alright. As far as not connecting which ever what you want them to connect brush it that way? Are you brushing down?

When you dont have any thing in your hair and you still have waves. (or a deep S-curl)

TELL YOUR BARBER TO GRAZE IT,LINE IT UP AND KEEP IT THICK FOR YOUR WAVES. YOUR HAIR IS TRAINED WHEN YOU CAN GET IT CUT LOW,WASH IT ROUGHLY,WEAR NO DU-RAG,WHATEVER AND YOUR WAVES STILL SPIN PLAYA. (EX.MOot) HE EVEN COMBS HIS WAVES!

Come on Vgizzle, you still have to brush your hair and wear a durag!! lol.... You made it sound like he has to beat up his hair to see if its trained. But NoSintake, your hair is probably not trained to the fullest. Especially if your waves arent connecting. Is this your first cut???

Try brushin twowards you ears on the sie. Even when you get past your ears. Just keep brushin in that same direction. Or follow blackfate's method.

HE ASKED ME HOW DO YOU KNOW WHEN YOUR HAIR IS TRAINED AND I TOLD HIM, I KNOW YOU MUST STILL DO THESE THINGS BECAUSE I STILL DO IM JUST GIVING MY OPINION BP. THOSE ARE JUST WAYS I THINK HE WOULD KNOW IF HIS WAVES ARE TRAINED. BUT YOU RIGHT THEY PROBABLY AINT TRAINED TO THE FULLEST.

I STILL BRUSH MY TOP FORWARD AS USUAL BACK DOWN. AT FIRST I USED TO BRUSH MY BACK SORTA SLANTED (U PROBABLY NOTICED IN MY PICS) LEFT SIDE FORWARD AND AS I MOVE BACK I BEGIN TO ANGLE IT,RIGHT SIDE SAME WAY BUT NOW I START MORE FROM MY CROWN AND MY WAVES ARE STARTING FROM THERE NOW. SORRY THAT WAS A OLD PIC THOUGH.
