Answer 1

the wave grease wont give u waves. u just gotta brush 60+ minutes daily. here's a long *** guide from 360waves.net....

when starting out in the wave game u dont need alot of products..u could juss keep it simple..all u really need when starting out in my opinion is a brush that u feel comfortable with,a durag,empty spray bottle filled with water or towel,a moisturizer n if u want a pomade..when activating waves pomade really isnt needed though..u could use it later on when ya pattern comes through..

brush-u could use a soft,medium or hard doesnt really matter which one u use as long as it moves ya hair..most say a hard brush trains ya hair faster but i dont believe thats true...a hard brush is uncomfortable for some people so if u r one of them maybe u could either get used to it or try medium n soft...i started out with a medium n switched to a soft which ive been using for two months now..yes it does still give u waves cuz it helped me get waves in certain areas which i didnt have n its still in the process of doin that..hard n medium brushes could sometimes make ya hair frizzy so if u do use em after u r done brushin u might wanna use a soft for the finishin touch to lay down the loose hairs...the way most people brush to get the 360 pattern is in the other sticky...to know a brush works..brush ya hair backwards..if it moves it..then it works..if u brush dry..ya waves will mostly define more n hold while if u brush wet u develope waves quicker n ya waves will space out more brushin wet

durags-u should wear a durag or wave n stockin caps to keep ya hair layed down so the waves could be more visible..a durag also helps train ya hair because a wave is a layed down curl n so it helps trainin ya hair to lay down n form the waves...u should always sleep with a durag on because u dont wanna break the wave pattern by turnin around at night..

spray bottle..u could get an empty braids spray bottle n fill it up with water(warm or cold)not hot because its not good for the scalp..dries it out....then spray it till wet n brush it..u will need a towel to wipe down the running water on ya face..this is a good n safe way to develope ya pattern...i recommend it for the people who r starting out mostly cuz it will develope a good pattern if u brush the right way..i recommend to spray one side n brush a hundred times n repeat for all the other sides...u could do it as many times as u want..the amount or brushin reps is up to u...i also recommend using double mirrors so ya pattern could come out the right way n to make sure everything is on point...

shower..brushin in the shower is another good way to better ya waves or develope them..juss brush under the running water either on cold or warm...the number of brushin reps once again is up to u n wut u feel comfortable with..most people apply shampoo then brush out..then conditioner n brush out..i recommend using shampoo atmost 3times a week beause its not necessary to use it everyday..one thing i do when i condition my hair is i wet my hair before gettin in the shower n while its damp i apply the conditioner n juss chill outside for ten minutes then hop in the shower n brush out..so i dont have to stay in the shower doing nuttin while waitin for the conditioner to stay for minutes...

towel..u could wet a towel if u dont have a spray bottle n juss soak ya hair n brush it..do everything juss like u would with a spray bottle

moisturizer..u could get natural moisturizers like softee coconut oil..blue magic..shea butter..carrot oil...n other ones that soften up ya hair makin it healthier n more manageable...the softer ya hair is the quicker the wave process is cuz ya hair will be easier to lay down

pomade...there are lots of pomade which r good for different looks..u pick wut u want from one n buy it..there are pomades that give u the slick layed down look,shiny look,wet look,defintion n hold..u r going to have to experiment with most of these pomades n see which one is best for u..the pomade u use doesnt matter because all pomades hold n define....nunile-slick layed down look,wet look,good hold.murrays-great definition,layed down look,great hold too.motions enhancing pomade-crazy shine n layed down look..those are juss some examples...

methods-methods are easy to create..u could either use someone elses method or create yours..a good meth would be a moisturizer to to keep it ya hair moist n pomade to define n hold ya hair..u could also use juss water...juss spray n keep brushin n repeat through out the day...some dont wanna use pomade so they juss use a moisturizer n brush...the point is u could put wuteva u want in ya hair n as long as u brush it...check the meth sections for different meths..u wanna do ya meth at night so u could durag n when u wake up in the mornin u should be set for the day..i dont recommend brushin in the mornin cuz after all that duragin u did at night ya hair will only come back up..if u do insist on brushin then i recommend using a soft brush so ya hair shouldnt come up...through out the day u should juss brush n durag..while u not brushin u should be duraggin...when u not duraggin u should be brushin...like i said..how much u brush is up to u...if u r new n dont have an established pattern yet i recommend using the spray bottle meth alot..till u r satisfied then u could start using products....the more u brush the quicker results u get..i recommend brushin atmost 2 with a soft...1with a medium n 30with a hard..donot apply too much pomade cuz some like murrays could be extremely hard to wash out..if u have a problem washing out pomade then juss use dish washing soap or coke if shampoo doesnt do it..but juss apply a good amount...i say every good meth requires a start and a finisher..meanin after using a moisturizer n brushin alot..a good finisher would be something like lets jam cuz(orange) it lays down the little hairs n slicks down the hair.motions is another good finisher(the pomade)when u apply the finishers u dont really need to use a hard or medium any more..juss use a soft to smooth it out n durag..when u take the durag off..ya *%*$ would be nice n defined..

the grain..the grain is the direction that ya hair grows so u should do juss about everything with the grain when wavin..always brush with the grain..wash with the grain..apply products with the grain..n cut ya hair with the grain..the way u brush.when applying products u wanna do it with the grain n u also wanna apply on one section brush it then do the same for the other sides..u dont wanna apply on all sides cuz it will dry out in certain areas before get there

haircuts..some people get light ceasars while others get dark ceasars..a light ceasar is about a 1 1/2 while a dark is more like a 2..i always get low because my waves are deep enough to show on low ceasars..which one u get is up to u..some people like the dark look which is a dark ceasar while others like the low cut look in other words a light ceasar..well most people cut they hair with the grain..i do..some people cut against the grain n their waves are look better than going with the grain liek adot,popoffkid and hotboy..its ya decision..if ya hair is not trained i say go with the grain..once its trained then u could take chances n try going with out the grain..u should get haircuts in my opinion atleast every 3weeks if u r still trainin ya hair..once ya pattern is on point then maybe u could cut every two weeks or every week..but u could always make ya waves deeper so juss stick to every 3weeks.after a cut i advise not to wet it for atleats the first 3days n juss brush out the loose hairs with a soft then continue brushin dry n duraggin..this really defines n locks down ya pattern because right after a cut ya pattern is loose n could easily wash away if its not trained..but its not the end of the world cuz it comes back when it gets longer.but if u juss brush dry u will see great results n keep the fresh cut look for a longer time

hairtypes-differen people have different textures..most mixed people start off with big n deep waves cuz they have that straight n soft hair while if u have course hair u r more likely to have a bunch of small waves...u cant expect to have exactly the same waves as someone else only if u have their hair texture...waves do get deeper n more spaced out withtime though but u cant brush for that..it will juss happen with time so try to make ya waves look the best they can be cuz it will never look like someone else waves who has a different texture...the longer ya grow ya hair while brushin before cuttin it..the deeper ya waves will get after a cut...depending on textures through out ya hair..some sides could take longer like the right side..so u r juss have to keep brushin it..

waves at the crown-the crown is the middle of ya hair that sorta looks like a circle..yes its hard to get waves there so u gonna have to be patient..dont brush it straight down like most do..start brush slowly into it..like start from outside n work ya way inside slowly..once the part outside that u have been brushin starts wavin..slowly work ya way up ahead n repeat...i have a thread on wut i mean..look at my previous threads..it juss takes time n patience

how long it takes..u r juss gonna have to keep brushin till u get there..for different textures its different..u should see results under a month though..u should see something..it takes months to spin but its worth it..it all depends on how dedicated n consistent u r..if u r dedicated n consistent it should take about 4months for a good 360pattern..then u should start connecting more n definin or wutnot..keep brushin though..took me 1 1/2 months to get come crooked as piece of *%*$ waves..im still in the process of connecting better n definin em...if u started brushin wrong n they come out lookin retarded n going in a wrong direction..dont start over..juss keep brushin the right way n they will start lookin crooked then they will eventually change to the right direction..i had that problem with my right back n i am in the process of changing it..almost there...but juss keep brushin n dont start over cuz it takes even longer n u will lose all the time n dedication u put it gettin the first pattern.

kits make ya hair softer n more manageable so its real easy for u to get waves immediately..kits give u the wave pattern immediately if u use em right..when u come ya hair withat chemical in ya hair,the s pattern forms so u gotta come it the way u want ya waves to form..wit the grain..then when u wash it off the pattern stays n so u juss brush ya hair n u have waves..this is if u did it right..most people leave it in for too long so it straightens out they hair..but kits only last for a short period of time..they dont last forever liek natural waves..most celebrities dont have time for all that brushin so they juss kit they *%*$..i once had a kit professionally done but it didnt last.thats how a kit works but we dont use kits on this site.we put in the hard work n brush for natural forever lasting waves...but its all on u though if u use it or not

Answer 2

I love beachy waves. Im not sure if it will help, but my hair is straight down.
