Whats up fellas, recently I've been getting a lot of PM's about how i got waves, what products i use, my method, and so on. Well i'm going to post ALL OF THAT INFORMATION HERE! THE BEGINNING:
I first got into waves back in 1998, and had them but not connected until 2004, when i decided to try out dreads. After a year of that, i cut my hair back low and began the wave process again. Throughout 2005, i achieved waves on my top, back and some what on my left side. After finding this site in early May, I realized i had a LOT of work to do in order to get my waves where i wanted them.
HAIR BOUTIQUE:
Before finding this site, I was like most ignorant people and felt that all you needed to get waves was a pomade and du rag. Well, I was wrong! I was using murray's original pomade and a med brush and had somewhat of a decent wave pattern. But they were not the 360s that I have today. I also tried out numerous Spartan products which i will say that NO ONE should BUY!!!
After finding this site, i learned that all you truely need to achieve waves is a brush, and determination. I began to use Carrot Creme and it was one of the best decisions i have made. It has been 9 Weeks since Pomade has touched my hair, and my hair looks and feels better than ever!
MY CURRENT METHOD:
Wash days:
Firstly, I wash my hair every day, or every 2days at the most. I use Motions Shampoo and Motions Conditioner. I brush ALOT while my hair is wet. After i'm thru in the shower, I towel dry most of it, and brush til damp with a soft Annie 2080 brush. I then apply carrot creme to my hair and brush brush brush! that is the key to it all, BRUSH! Occasionaly, if I'm going out or something, i'll thro in some Let's Jam! orange top and brush that with a softee. At night, i always brush right until i'm about to go to sleep, and add a little more Carrot Creme.
No-Wash Days:
After I wake up and remove my Du-rag, I brush with a softee. I know many guys on here say not to brush that Du-rag look, but i have to because my waves actually extened onto my hairline and my hairline will look like its crooked if i dont brush it! While brushing, i add some Carrot Creme. Throughout the day, i brush as much as possible.
Products Used:
Currently, i only use my Carrot Creme, Annie 2060 for when hair is high, and Annie 2080 for when it is low. Let's Jam! when needed...
HOw Long B/W Cutz:
My hair grows EXTREMELY fast...I try to wait 3-4 wks b/w cutz, but it really just depends on if its an event i want to look fresh for! nothin beats those waves looking silky smooth when you gotta step out to something!
 !!!QUESTIONS!!!
I'll be more than happy to answer any questions pertaining to my waves or waves in general, but i ask that you READ THIS FIRST! this will save both of our time! aight fellaz, stay up! -------------

This is a good look for some of us on here ... maybe
this will make you realize you don't need a pound
of pomade a day to get waves ... brushing, moisturizing,
and cleaning ... the real three keys to attaining waves ...

A yall, but don't the carrot cream dry out your hair a lil. I use to always use pink lotion and my hair use to be shinnin and I switched to using cc and barely using the pink lotion and my hair started to look dry. I have know switched back to Pnk Ltn and my hair is back to looking smooth and shinny, though I do like how cc makes my hair easier to take car of. ------------- The future |

diff things work better for diff people depending on their hair...pink lotion just went str8 thru my hair and did nothin, but CC gives it a real nice shine...dats y my hair look smooth and wet on those pics.... -------------

Pnk Ltn stays in good in my hair and makes it look good, but not really that managable when it's long thats why I use the cc when my hair has some length, but yeah, cc cream doesn't really keep my hair moisturized. ------------- The future |

Ok. I have been in the wave game for 4 weeks now on friday it will be 5. I have been growin my hair out while wavin for 5 weeks now. I also use CC and lets jam orange top, but now that my hair is this long i dont think that its doing too much. My hair is starting to look really jacked up and i think its time for a cut. Should I get a cut. I got a few waves and people said if i get it cut they will be more defined. Cuz whenever I brush it stays wet and soft for a lil bit then it gets kinda dry and my hair sticks up alot if i dont du-rag -------------   |

yep me 2. I cant go any longa than bout 4 weeks. and even thats pushin it. usually i jus try and go every 3 weeks. But about the pnk lotion/ i go wit that as well. it works wonders in my hair. CC jus would dry me out and make my hair hard. pink gives me that softness and wet look (shine) that brings the waves out... but like jqrs diff products work for diff hair types. u gotta find what works for u -------------

That use to happen to me, but know I use carrot cream and a hard or med brush and it's not a problem, probably until more that six weeks which I have never went to. Keep using the cc and try to use it a lil bit more if your hair is still not managable because when I put the cc in my hair becomes really managable. ------------- The future |

I gotta give up mad props to you and the other playaz spinnin like clean rimz on the benz...I'm an ole head that recently had the idea of getting my waves flowin again. I stumbled on this site and you catz just blew me away with the spinners! Your ish is crazy...I mean crazy! Those pics you have in your sig should be on some companies' product label. That'z real talk pahtna.
I went ahead and ordered five jars of carrot creme cause the playaz talked the ish outta that product. Right now I'm using DAX (red can) pomade since I'm from da ole school and that'z what I used back in the day to get the waves flowin. I've been lacin the scalp with pink oil moisturizer and some DAX over top of that. Tie it off with the du rag and let it marinate.
Keep spinnin playaz...They lookin and hatin but it's all gravy when ya spinnin baby.  ------------- "If it don't make money it don't make sense..." - Baby, Big Tymers |

| I was wonderin wat would be tha best cut to get if you tryin to grow waves. School starts monday for meh so I decided to get my hair cut yesterday, it had been some weeks since I cut my hair so it was kind of high, I was doing the h2o method which was going fine, I saw some waves come in on both of the sides of my head, then after yesterday I could barely see em. Im not sure if the cut was too low or what. The kind of cut I got was even all over. |

You gotta check what # guard your barber be using. And if he is cutting against the grain (ATG as we call it) or With the Grain (WTG) if u know what I mean. WTG is pushing the clippers in the direction ur hair grows, such as from crown to temple, or crown to sideburns, or crown to bottom back. And like ATG is opposite. Most people here get a #2 WTG, or a #3 ATG. I thought #3 ATG was messing with my wave progress where #2 WTG was working better for me, so Im switching back to #2 WTG. But yeah most people get all over even (cesar) and some get a taper (faded by back of neck, temple, and sideburns) If u aren't aiming for 360s u can get a fade and maintain ur waves on top. GL with the wave game, it is a long and difficult game to play |

to me i think a moisturizer is just a moisturizer man. its all about personal preference. i haved used both pink lotion and carrot creme. and i like carrot creme better (to me) cuz it lasts longer than pink lotion. pink lotion dries my hair out really fast and i have to use so much so i got on carrot creme. but all you need is one moisturizer, use whichever stays moisturized the longest.  ------------- the power of water and a brush....explore the possibilities.
