- Create a brushing regimen. After washing and conditioning your hair in the shower and stepping out, apply a small amount of lotion or pomade to your hair and brush it outward from the top of your head.
- Additionally, you should brush the top of your head in the direction of your eyes and the sides of your face in the direction of your chin.
- Brush the hair on the back of your head down and toward your neck beginning at the crown. Imagine that your head’s crown contains a tiny circle.
- Brush the hairline radially outward while going around the circle in a clockwise direction.
- Brush uniformly. Many people claim that the waves in the back are absent. That indicates that the back of your hair needs to be brushed more frequently. Check the back area in a mirror to make sure it is styled the way you desire. At the back of the head, where natural curls are typically strongest, extra care may be required.
- After brushing your hair, apply the du-rag. This will aid in stabilizing the wave. Ensure that it is snug but not too snug. At least 30 minutes should pass with the du-rag still on your head.
- Before going to bed, don’t forget to put the durag on to help the formation of waves.

- Maintain your haircuts. Keep in mind to get your hair cut at least every two to four weeks, but leave enough length for curls to form.
- Don’t dry it out. The key to gorgeous waves is to keep your hair moisturized.
- Put on a silk durag and then brush your hair. This shields your hair from nighttime rubbing across the pillow.
- The frequency : at least three times a day, brush your hair at least four times on each side. Your hair will be teased into place with a brush.
- While you are creating your 360-degree waves, rinse rather than wash your hair. Rinse your hair with warm water to help make it more flexible. Weekly hair washings with wave shampoo and conditioner are recommended.
It’s possible that you need to brush more if you’re having problems catching the waves.
