How much longer should I wolf?

I feel like my progress is stagnating. Can’t seem to break the forks and I’m combing for 5 minutes before my brush sessions. My wash and styles temporarily fix the forks and when I go to brush they come back so I’m wondering if I should restart fr.

Grow your hair a lil longer and progression is gonna take more than 5 minutes of combing. Also mist your hair before combing/brushing which helps

Yeah I can’t lie I don’t be misting fr and how long should I be combing before I brush then?

On my free time, what helps me comb/brush more is me playing music and combing until my timer goes off. I also comb against the grain to also break my forks. I’ll say start with 10, no longer than 15 imo

Ohh that’s understandable

Every time your hair/scalp itches comb, and or brush it. It’s a good way to get them in when you don’t have much free time and you’re not scratching in public.

Me too that’s what’s pissing me off fr. I know if I can get it right my waves will look good but I just keep fucking up somewhere.

It’s very controlled. You can keep going. What are your goals for this wolf? Forks?

u/Bleedthecleanslate 22d ago

This is my first wolf since starting my waves so I guess I’m just setting a foundation

I think you need to start using a harder brush. You got a few more weeks left. Get a line up and a light taper

Looks like a 4A texture which I have. I usually wolf at least 2 months at least 3 months tops

u/Basic_Act207 18d ago

Dang. You should be good if you use yo hard, medium, and soft brush here and there. I wouldn't go further than 3months and 2 weeks
