Perms contain the same ingredients as a liquid drain opener—these very harsh chemicals can lead to premature balding.
Also avoid letting other toxins get into your hair, such as cigarette smoke. Wearing your own natural hair is a healthier choice, plus your waves will begin to look "swagalicious.
Brushing waves and using hair products can lead to mild acne symptoms. Acne can form on the forehead, upper back, and back of the neck. Wipe the forehead, upper back, and back of the neck with cotton and acne treatment. Also, as mentioned, avoid using greasy pomades. Some people may want to use a small hand mirror to see the back of their hair, by using another mirror in front of them at the same time.
Remember, waves have to maintain moisture and luster most of the time. Thank you for stopping by! Feel free to comment with any questions below. I got waves in very fast because I brush everyday for 1 hour in the morning and 1 hour before I go to sleep, I want to have the best waves in history I kno I have long way to go. If you want waves, all you have to do is do the following things, brush your hair daily, even slacking for one day can lose your chances of getting waves.
If you have coarse hair, I suggest you use pomades. Also try washing once a week, you don't have to over do it. Lastly, always keep your durag on because that what helps lay the foundation of waves, if your not brushing or washing just keep it on. Hi Joj, congrats! Pomade is def a bunch of crock, I understand completely why they say not to use pomade. Has never worked for my husband..? Thanks for the helpful tips!! I ain't waving, not , etc. All thanks to my main man PB for all his videos.
Is my son who's hair isn't as thick able to train his hair for waves? When do I apply the curl activator to my hair? Is It before I apply the moisturiser or after I apply the moisturise? I am really confused. Please help. Used to have beautiful waves as a child.
Since being in the Army for many years I forgot how to get them back, because I've gotten close haircuts almost ever week. I'm going to follow the above instruction and pray this will work out for me.
Repeat this process on all areas of your head. Even if you have already shampooed and conditioned your hair, you may still want to put the hot towel on your head after brushing. Doing this helps your hair absorb the moisture from the rag and become softer. Moisturizing has traditionally involved lots of pomades, but pomades contain heavy petroleum that gives hair a dense, gooey feel.
Frequent pomade use can block your pores and cause acne, so we recommend using it sparingly. Instead, look for lighter moisturizers with shea butter and essential oils. Limit your moisturizing to once or twice per week max if your hair is healthy, and up to three if your hair is dehydrated. Anyone who is trying to get waves should be using a durag, no questions asked.
It serves a couple of purposes: it protects your waves from the elements and seals in moisture. When should you wear it? The most hardcore guys will say that you should always wear your durag, but at the very least, you should put it on nice and tight for thirty minutes after brushing.
Sleeping is another time you should wear your durag, as it will hold your waves in place. The type of durag you choose is up to you. Satin is one of the more popular fabrics, as it helps keep moisture in while preventing breakage.
Polyester is another common kind of durag, and velvet—though it can be hard to find—is in vogue at the moment. Regardless of the type you choose, you should repeat the conditioning, brushing, and durag process faithfully until waves appear. The primary way to maintain your waves is to keep brushing.
You should continue doing your brushing regimen, as well as using a durag at night, which will keep your style intact. You should be brushing three times a day to keep your waves intact. Aim for somewhere between every two to four weeks, depending on how long you want your hair to be. When you go to get your hair cut, make sure your hairdresser knows what your goals are. They should avoid cutting against the grain, or against the direction of your waves. You can rinse your hair as much as you need to, but shampooing should be reserved to just once a week.
Always follow your shampoo with a good conditioner. In general, we recommend using a softer brush when your hair is short and a harder brush once it gets longer. It also depends on how healthy your hair is. The process can take anywhere from a couple of weeks to up to six weeks, which is probably the average time it takes to see waves. When you first start the wave process, you should wait at least three weeks to cut your hair again. Wolfing is a technique that consists of not cutting your hair for an extended period—usually around four to six weeks, sometimes up to twelve.
It trains your hair to lay down at the root, and it allows for deeper waves since your hair will be longer. The rewards are typically worth the sacrifice, however, because this technique will help you get the perfect waves once you finally cut your hair.
Aside from following the advice we outlined above, here are some tips to help you maintain your waves. Using products like conditioner is excellent for hair health, but healthy hair starts with what you put in your body.
To boost your health, you may want to consider supplementing your diet with multivitamins. While conditioner and pomade help with moisturizing, keeping your hair hydrated begins with drinking the right amount of water daily.
Speaking of hydration, brushing dry hair is a no-no. You should always brush hair that is a bit wet and has been adequately moisturized after.
Our last tip is not to go crazy with conditioner or pomades—a little bit of product goes a long way. So there you have it—the basics of how to get waves. Taking some time to learn about this classic black hairstyle goes a long way in achieving the look you want.
