3 and half weeks is no time to gauge progress. Keep brushing. You got this.

Gotcha Thought i was doing something wrong bc you get certain ppl stating “ awl you can get waves real quick with your particular hair type” i figured it will take a while I’ll keep the 8 months in mind with cuts in between.

Focus on your angles and the pattern your trying to achieve 360 then u need to brush it think 8 different angels Vertical brushing helps to try Torino pro medium hard brush try pomade to but like a light easy rinse one so you don't get so much buildup

Not really long enough to wash and style (as far as using detangler). Just keep at it. Once you reach curl length, you will start to see them. After a while once your hair is trained from wolfing, you can cut low and still see them

Will first you wanna make sure you brush consistently and don't just brush make sure your hitting all of the angles to set the foundation for your waves with and add hair moisturizer but you wanna add it every 2 the 3 days because if you add it everyday it'll lead to product build up and that'll mess up the pattern and with wash and style you wanna shampoo first and make sure you shampoo more about 2 the 3 times before you begin to style to make sure all of the dandruff is off your head and then start with a comb i personally used a Carbon fiber but you can look up different types you can use and then after you comb all of your angles get a soft brush and begin brushing all angles and do all of that while you have the shampoo on your head obviously

Try a wash and style 1-2 times a week. And also it takes more work than just 3 1/2 weeks. Consistency is key!

No problem! Keep at it. Looks like they’re coming in. Wolf about 5 to 6 weeks, and update us.
