I've been waving for a couple years and never knew how to properly brush my hair until i discovered this site. My waves are well trained but they are not 360. My problem is that I've been brushing my sides straight down instead of at an angle. My question is do i have to cut my waves out and start over or can i retrain them? I've started to try retraining them but it seems like my hair isn't laying down properly. Here's some pics. I need some VET's advice please. I put in alot of hard work and would hate to have to cut my waves out and start all over.

ummmm... i'm afraid that you might have to cut it cuz your hair is fully trained (since you've been wavin so long and it would take forever to get back on track) and brushin with a softy won't do much in your case.
But b4 you listen to me, get some more opinions from people on here.

You don't have to brush your hair in a different direction. Which ever way continuously brush your hair is the direction that your waves will eventually form. -------------

I already starting tryin to deprogram my hair by brushing them the correct way. Thats why my front sides look the way they do. Its like i'm starting all over. If i had earlier pix you would see that my lower front sides break my whole way pattern. They looked good but this site got me wanting to do it the correct way. -------------

Your connection is there. Just focus on brushing the area where you get the temple taper in the proper direction. Eventually, those waves on your lower front sides will rework themselves into a more circular pattern. ------------- DUB-C |

I see what your talking about and the good thing is that your pattern is already reworking itself. Keep brushing with a softie to help with your problem areas. ------------- DUB-C |

Thanx for the advice three-six-oh! I've read the waveology and it is very informative. I'm gonna take your advice and just get a low cut. That afro thing ain't a good look for me. lol...... I told my barber the last time that i was thinking about taking it down real low and everyone in the shop said I was crazy. Like I said before this site is putting me on a path for perfection. I've been brushing so much now to retrain my hair that my head is getting a little tender. I'm gonna chill for a minute and get a lower cut. I'll post pix when I get my cut so everyone can see my progress. -------------
