The curls/coils in your hair are the key to getting waves. If your hair is straight the you will not get waves because a wave is a straightened out curl. The curlier (or nappy) your hair is, the more waves you will have in your hair. Deep waves comes from letting your hair grow. Everyone’s waves will not look the same, it depends on your hair type. Some people have different textures throughout their head, therefore your waves may have a slightly different look or may not be totally the same. Though it may not be noticeable. Pomade is not what develops waves. So if you don’t use it, it doesn’t matter. Pomade is used to help hold down your hair and help define them, but it isn’t necessary for the process. Use pomade before your brush/du rag Brush hair at most 1/1 ½ hours daily Clean hair at least every other day to keep hair healthy Brush hair in shower to make them more uniform Wear du rag when not busy and to bed. Spray du rag with water or moisturizer while wearing. Get a hair cut every 2-4 weeks to make them deeper While hair is long, comb hair as well as brush (hard brush) Brushing: When brushing your hair start from the center of your head and brush out in every direction towards your lining. Example: From the crown to your forehead, crown to your left temple, etc. From your crown it should make a circle. Pomade: Pomade is not what makes waves so if you don’t use it, it doesn’t matter. Pomade is used to help hold down your hair and help define them, but it isn’t necessary for the process. Either place a fingertip of pomade into your hand and rub it until it softens, place it in a sink of hot water until it melts, or melt it with a blow drier, then apply it evenly into your hair. Thoroughly rub it into your hair with your palm. If the pomade isn’t melted, take a hot towel and place it on your head to melt the grease, or you can use a blow drier. After you apply the pomade brush it into your hair. ------------- My waves are 720, you only 180 My name is liltmac aka lilkobe |

It should work. If not dont count on getting waves. I say jam and creme (sounds like food lol) bc you want to develop your waves first. pomade just holds you down. ------------- Im an Ocean yall cats are just ponds |

^The only thing that improvs "game" is having it in the first place waves do improv but it doesnt hurt it either. Don't look for short-cuts in the wave process bc your only gonna become disappointed. Try spreading your process out through-out the day, or try focusing more on your problem areas. You should get the results yout looking for. ------------- Im an Ocean yall cats are just ponds |
