Subject: Been trying to wave since August.

The products I have: Sportin' Waves gold can, 360 Waves, Murrays orange can, Carrot Cream, Pink lotion, Lets Jam, S-Curl Wave Jel Activator, SuperGroomer soft brush, Annie hard brush, and a double sided brush named, The Fade.
Well, in August, this is when I got a haircut. A little short, and the man mentioned, "If you use pomade, and brush. Your hair will start to wave." So this sort-of inspired me, so my brother recommended me to this website. So I started following the brushing instructions. I used Sportin Waves black can, and a Annie hard brush. Then came my hair cut, the damned man cut my waves out. I thought I just could brush them back in. Now, don't get confused, my father is black, and my mother is light skinned, with nice hair. Most of my mother's family has straight wavy hair. And we have a bit of Indian, and white in us. My father's side is black people hair, lol. Yet my father's mother is light skinned with straight black hair, as mine is. When I have long hair, before I was waving.

I'd have wavy hair, that friends would notice. I could run my hand through it and feel the waves. But, now I have trouble getting waves with my short hair, I only have waves on my lining on the top of my hair, their shiny. Then my hair is pretty natural, yet shiny. I used to use pomade, yet I thought it was heavy. I though my hair was too nice for it. So every morning, I'd put pink lotion in my hair and brush with a soft brush, it looked nice, And every two days, I'd wash my hair, and apply my hair with Pink lotion. I'd then du-rag, I'd wake up. And see my hair is STRAIGHT down, with the two waves visible. I admired this look, yet I hardy had waves. Then I started using Sportin Waves Gold again. I'd wash my hair, apply pink lotion, brush then apply pomade. Wake up, apply pink lotion, and add pomade. Now I left this method, and stop using pomade for good. I started using Carrot cream, and pink lotion together, after washing my hair. But in the morning, I'd only use Pink lotion, and brush with a soft brush.

I notice how my hair sticks up when I use a hard brush, now I only use soft brushes. I just brought some S-Curl Jel Activator. And Lets Jam. S-Curl sort-of helped out, yet no waves. Lets Jam is must lighter, and it feels better. Imma start using it.

I refered to some old pages. I put some S-Curl Jel Activator in my hair for 4 minutes, then brushed like a maniac with my medium. Then put some Pink oil in, and brushed a bit more with my soft brush. Then put my du-rag on, I took it off 23 minutes later, I have a change of texture, and when I look at my hair I could see dips about 4 inches apart. Is this a good sign?

| I've been on this board just as long as you have, I just never tried posting. Instead, I tried to search around, and find my answers for myself. You see, I'm not the one to try to trouble others for my OWN problems. Yet it became so ridiculous, I thought I HAD to ask a question or two. Excuse myself for asking A QUESTION. A question can be hard, or easy. If you have studied your facts, the question would come as easy. Yet, if you struggle at the question, I suggest you to keep your damned comments to your self. OK? Now, I find myself in a predictament, in determining what your response will be. Better yet, don't respond at all. Leave this topic to the 360 Veterans.

lmao! hell naw...you trippin. calm down yo DAMN he let em have it. you got heated so quick tsunamiwave. check it, the key is wolfin and brushin. u also need to moisturize...that many products arent necessary. youd do well with CC or LJ or PL or H2O. Or a combination of 2 (excluding water of course). dont touch the pomades unless you feel its ABSOLUTELY and i mean 100% NECSSARY too. other than that ask on, it never hurts to ask. btw its not only the VETs that know their stuff tsunam...alot of us got the knowledge on that subject.
on the other note it is rude when someone asks a question to waste a post not to be helpful but just to give em a redundant statement or attitude, instead of posting "go check previous threads" why not give em some CONSTRUCTIVE criticism like "heres the answer....however next time check the stickies..etc. etc." its much better
Good luck fam. and lets keep that brotherly love up in here k?

@Black Plague, I just listed the products I have used in the past. I'm currently using Lets Jam orange top, Pink Lotion, Carrot Cream, and S-Curl Jel Activator. I prefer Pink lotion over Carrot cream, but I only use Carrot cream after washing my hair, it lays my hair down and feels better. @LDIZLWhen I got my haircut 13 weeks ago, I looked to see if I was doing anything wrong. Then I started using pomade again, and using a hard brush after washing my hair. Then in the morning, add a little more pomade, and brush with asoft brush. Now I went back to my old technique without pomade. I've used the H20 method in the shower, and put shampoo in and brush it in and out while my hair was wet. IT never worked. I only use my Soft brush, and my medium brush now. I'll provide some pictures, no batteries for my camera. lolFor now my method is. Morning:Apply Pink lotion, brush with soft brush for 12 minutes. Apply Lets Jam(sometimes) brush for 5 more minutes. Off to school.

Old method after school: Just apply durag
New method: Apply Pink lotion,use a soft brush for two minutes to get the Pink lotion in my hair. Apply S-Curl Jel Activator, let it sit for 4 minutes, let it moisturize and curl a bit. Then brush with a medium for a couple of minutes, then use soft brush for the rest. Then apply a durag. *About 2 hours later* Wash hair.
Washing: Apply Tres'Seme(Bitch sh*t, no choice.) Then put a bit of water in my hair, smooth it in, let it sit for a while and add the Frutese(Spelling error) conditioner. Then rinse out. Dry hair a bit, apply pink lotion, then carrot cream. Then brush with a soft brush, for twelve minutes. Wet du-rag, and put on. When it gets dry, wet it again. Apply Pink lotion, brush then strap on again. Do it twice, then it ends here.

This is why no longer wished to insult that other dude. Here's my question towards you; why is your first language retarded? Serious question, equals a serious answer. But I only guess you posted that based on your assumption/opinion. I guess people can't shutup.

Tsunami I was wondering. You say that U had waves before and the barber cut them out. So my suggestion is buck up and keep brushing your hair, because if they were there before they should return. If U follow the methods that are listed you should get waves at some time. If everyone else can get them, you should to.

I currently still go to that barber, he cuts with the grain. Well, atleast I'm pretty sure he does, since he combs my hair a bit to the way I brush, and when I'm done the two waves I have are visible. My old barber would have been better holding the clippers by it's wire, and started throwing it at my head. Since he didn't do a good job going with the grain.
After seeing chrisdog's skin color and hair texture, I'm pretty sure I can get waves. But I'm pretty sure his hair is curlier than mine, since mine only curls when it's long.

Have U tried following the diagram on here that shows which direction to brush your hair. If your barber is good enough to be recommended by someone else he should be able to cut.

Who gets his haircut by the same guy as I do. He has waves just alike Three-Six-Oh, except his hair's blacker. He claims he doesn't use a du-rag, and brushes his hair with water. I didn't believe him at first, but then after reading that you didn't need a du-rag when you have a deep pattern. I was amazed.
Then I have another friend who's the same color who claims his waves are natural. He said, "Who ever told you that you need to brush, is wrong. Wear a du-rag." "Natural," in his vocabulary means no brushing. Natural in hair terms, means no du-rag or anything. He always comes out straightening his hair with his hand. At the same time, he has curly hair. I don't believe he doesn't brush his hair. He only has waves on the top of his head

Today I'll probably take a pic. My hair is straight while it's short, and when my hair is long. It's curly. I've been noticing how my hair was pretty much straight while it was short. Yet, I'm wolfin'. I've been doing it for 13 weeks, the hair on the side on my lining is starting to curl up. The hair on my lining is curlier than the rest of my head. Should I keep growing my hair until I see results? Because, my hair is pretty much already trained.
