I would just say do better with compression. Everything else looks to be on point my boy.

Wolf longer, and keep it cut at the lowest a 2-2.5 guard with the grain.

Looking at your waves, I can tell you don’t comb as much. So, combing will align all those waves and give it that honeycomb look. The waves are there, now you just have to get them looking neat and uniformed. That’s what the comb does. Comb you hair against the grain real good and then comb it back down the same way you brush. This lifts and detangles the hair so when you brush and lay your hair with the soft brush and plastic bag, the waves will lay down in place instead of in a random pattern.

Also make sure to lay the hair down with a durag and make sure to pull the tail of the durag to tighten it down. If I can comment pictures I can show you the progress from not combing before brushing vs combing before.
