 I was wondering about how long does it take so actually get waves? i've
been trying for about a week and have a slight pattern on the left side
of my head(weird huh?) and i brush from the crown out in a circular
patter and everything. i use the h2o method with the warm water and
brush until its dry, i do that for an hour and then a half an hour
before i go to bed. then i rag it before i go to bed. i also use 360 style and sportin waves but no
resultss. anyone know what im doing wrong?

just keep doing what your doing, some people get results quick like i did, and for some people it takes much longer. as long as your seeing results your doing good. ------------- |

It takes 2 even 3 months. It depends on your hair texture and how often you brush. Do you moisturize your hair. Keeping it soft is important. Dry hair won't hold waves very long. Also how long is your hair? The longer your hair the long it will take. I started with short hair and let it grow to about an inch, then 1 inch. 1 1/2, then 2 inches. By the time it reaches two inches, it's time for cut again. Make sure your method fits your hair type.

yeah i know, but the pics dont even show all my waves for some strange reason. i tried it with flash and without it and still not all my waves show up. i think next time i'll try taking the pics outside in the sunlight, and maybe let someone else take the pictures instead of taking them myself. ------------- |

look here..u have different textures through out ya hair..everyone does..so its impossible for one all sides to come in at the same time..certain sides will come in quicker so if u see waves already then u seein results..wutelse do u want..there is no such thing as how long it will take..it comes when it comes..juss remember to stick to a pattern repeat everyday..ya hair will get used to it quick n adapt..also stick to one brush..waves dont come connected..they come crooked..u tryna go to far ahead of ya game man..juss do a meth n brush everyday n they will come whenever they do..as for haircuts i suggest to get a light ceasar..u will see more waves that u didnt even know u had..dark ceasars r for deep n defined waves..its also good to start trainin it when low so when u get a low cut it shows up with no problem n doesnt wash away when u wash ya hair..if that happens it will be back when it gets longer.. -------------

its a fact..go ask some lady at a sallon that works there..or ask someone who knows alot bout hair...ask ya mom if she knows alot she will tell u..its also common sense..like i said if every side had the exact same texture dont u think they will all come at the same speed..?with even brushin?its common sense man..most people have the worst texture on their right side thats why it takes longer there..juss cuz it looks the same all over dont mean it is actually the same.. -------------

| when i got my cut for a light ceasar i tried against the grain i forgot to tell you guys and when he brushed it down it was ok i wa slike ehhh but then i came home and brushed they were more defined. now i know you uys sayd against the grain is bad but if waves are just curls how? if any of you guys grew your hair out you know the intermediate before you can pick it out but you can't brush it yet-- you know when when you brush the other way its 10X curlier |

Yeah the cutting against the grain fear is just a myth. I cut my hair against the grain while I was away from home just because it was faster and I knew it would be even all over. Against the grain just gives you a closer cut and it's what I have in most of my pics. If you have a well defined wave pattern you can grow it out to produce a natural curl pattern that will last much longer than a kit. While I was growing my hair for 6 weeks I wore it in curls for the last two weeks then went right back to waves once I cut it. |

| bg is rite.. going against the grain makes the cut a lot faster and closer which is why most barbers prefer to do it that way...however the fear is not a myth... if u want ur waves to be at their best.. go wit the grain and in the 360 pattern |
