Answer 1

If you want 360 waves you're obviously African American like I am.There are ALOT of products that you can use. If you just got a cut you might want to use "let's jam". It smells really good and makes your hair shiny. It also has a pretty good hold. If its been a while since you got a cut it would be best to get some pomade to hold your hair down. There are many types of pomades but these are what I recommend:

shorter hair: "Sportin Waves" (in a black can usually be found just about anywhere but family dollar is guaranteed to have it)

medium length hair:"Sportin Waves"(in a gold can also found just about anywhere)

longer hair: "Dax"(in a red can found in a lot of places but walmart is guaranteed to carry it)

You might want to put a warm damp towel over your hair after putting in the pomades. It will loosen it up some so it will be easier to work with. There is also something called the H2o method which involves constantly wetting your hair throughout the day and brushing it until its near dry. You can find out more about this by going to 360waves.net.

There is a lot of hard work put into getting fresh 360 waves. I don't have the space to list all of the products and techniques that goes into getting waves. You can work on developing your waves at just about any wave length. Here are some obvious suggestion.

1.)brush A LOT. Always keep you're brush on you.

2.)make sure you get your hair cut and washed regularly. It is best to wash your hair at least 2 times a week. Also use a conditioner.

3.) make sure the bristles on your brush are hard enough. For short hair use a softy and for longer hair use a medium or hard brush.)

4.) Make sure you're brushing right. Start from the center of the scalp and brush outwards towards the hair line. Brush the sides in a slight slant.

5.) Protect your pattern by wearing a wave cap or durag at night.

Brushing is what develops your waves. The only thing that the wave cap and pomade does is enhance the look of the waves by weighing your hair down.
It will probably take a few weeks for you to see any results. If you want fresh waves all throughout your hair it will take a few months. It takes a lot of patience at first but it will get easier for you once you start seeing results.
If you don't have a lot patience you can buy an s-curl kit for waves.It gives you instant waves and it's pretty cheap but it is not permanent and your hair will not get as wavy as it would with the old fashioned way. These are only the basic suggestion. If you want detailed suggestion and product reviews, just go to 360waves.net.

Answer 3

If you want waves, try scrunching your hair with scrunching moose/gel.

What you do is get your hair wet, and while its wet not dry, add a little moose to it; and do scrunching motions with your hands; pushing upward. The link at the bottom explains it better, but after that dry it either with a diffuser or really low on a hairdryer. Make sure to blow dry your hair upside down for volume.

After its about 3/4 dry, flip your hair back up; and continue to dry standing up to get whatever look your going for.
