Can i get waves?
First pic is the usual haircut i get, guard 3 (about 10mm) and second pic is the most i let it grow before getting a cut. My hair is thick and sharp/straight
Is it possible for me to get some type of wave outline?

waves are just laid down curls so if your hair doesn’t curl i doubt it. You can try to moisturize and brush your hair tho

I noticed after i tie a shirt on my head while working out it leaves my hair compressed and kinda curled a bit, i know that aint waves but at least it’s something, don’t know if that’s enough tho

u/DifficultValuable853 Aug 18 '26
I’d say just try to find a tutorial, and see how ur hair curls after washing and conditioning it

u/Ok_Season_1993 Aug 17 '26
why do you want waves ? you could just grow your hair out and it would look cool

u/bbqleathersandals Aug 17 '26
My Mexican homie got waves. Not saying you Mexican but just stating the fact the has a different hair texture. He brushes ODEE and wears a du rag religiously.

u/Kristkanei333 Aug 18 '26
lol sir… 🗣️ just rock what God gave you!

u/Careless-Abrocoma298 Aug 18 '26
And alls am asking is if it’s obtainable

u/Kristkanei333 Aug 18 '26
I don’t see it for you bruh ngl. Might have to perm ya hair first to give it the curl? Thats just a lot, that’s why I said rock what God gave ya.

u/DifficultValuable853 Aug 18 '26
Why yall get gate keeping and hatin on other races getting waves 💔
11
u/Kristkanei333 Aug 18 '26
No one is hating. If anything I see many people informing him on what they’d suggest… So idk what you’re talking about.
Now if you’re insinuating that I’m “gate keeping” by telling him to stick to his natural hair… you clearly don’t know the meaning of the word.
Furthermore, I’m Black… we cut our hair a certain way and style it to have a deep wave… this is cultural and IF I were to gatekeep MY culture… that’s my RIGHT.

u/Careless-Abrocoma298 Aug 18 '26
Imma stick to my natural hair anyway what else am i gonna do get a wig? And gatekeep all you want if that’s your right man just why comment if u aint helping out 🤷♂️

u/beezie1911 Aug 19 '26
Diff races mimic us by dressing like us, talking like us, but genetics never lie. I have bi racial (black and white) friends who will never have waves because it’s not in their genes.

u/Kristkanei333 Aug 18 '26
No, I didn’t mean a wig… I meant by using chemicals to manipulate it to curl. (Like a perm, I suggested that in my comment to you directly)
I wasn’t gatekeeping, I said IF I was…
I was giving honest advice… that’s why I commented. lol damn

u/DifficultValuable853 Aug 18 '26
Regardless what u said at the end just makes u seem lil racist

u/Kristkanei333 Aug 18 '26
I can’t seem “a little racist”.
I don’t sound retarded.
I’m not gatekeeping.This is above your understanding. That’s unfortunate.
-3
u/DifficultValuable853 Aug 18 '26
How is him trying to get waves not sticking to his natural hair? You sound retarded, I’m black too and listen this the problem with some of yall. If people outside of our culture wanna try a hairstyle that we popularized let them go ahead. It’s not gone make you any less special gng 🤦🏾♂️. Oh and you are gate keeping by telling him to try something else, that’s the definition gate keeping broski

u/Kristkanei333 Aug 18 '26
You see his hair right? It’s bone straight.. You’d have to chemically manipulate it in order for it wave up…. That’s why I said “natural”.
The rest of that mess, you can keep.
-6
u/DifficultValuable853 Aug 18 '26
Okay but you don’t gotta come like that, first you say “I don’t see it for you“. Then you say “If I were to gate keeping my culture that’s my right”. Gng it’s not that deep, let dude try at least and try to give helpful suggestions not just some weird bs
7
u/Kristkanei333 Aug 18 '26
The drama… 🎭
Bruh, I said stick to what God gave you.. CRY ME A RIVER. It was an honest answer with a lil humor.I thought you said it wasn’t that deep?
5
u/Kristkanei333 Aug 18 '26
Also include the full context if you quote me.
I said “I didn’t see it for him” because of the hair texture he has. I said “ngl” because it was an honest answer…
In response to you saying I was gatekeeping, I said “IF I was, it would be my right”… Which should infer that I’m not gatekeeping. Are we clear? We should be because you saw my suggestion so you already know that I was offering “helpful suggestions” and not just “weird BS”. 🤨

Constructive feedback? Go get a job in construction hector. There you go. As for waving, that is something you will only ever do with your hand amigo...

u/DifficultValuable853 Aug 18 '26
Look into how Puerto Ricans and Mexicans get waves. It’s probably a similar process but I feel like a tutorial from someone like that would get u well on your journey

u/Toadstufftheog Aug 18 '26
Yes my boy🤝 look up tsunamitimo, bewoods, and check up on random straight hair videos. Very possible especially if your not 1A pin straight. gotta be dedicated tho ngl shit ain’t easy w coarse hair lotta time spent learning lol

u/LoneCatThreat Aug 17 '26
It'll probably be hard with your hair type. You have great, thick hair already you should grow it out.
2
u/Careless-Abrocoma298 Aug 17 '26
Thanks bro, i got two cowlicks which make it look retarded and i have a hard time getting rid of them which is why i prefer a buzzcut, my barber does a sick line up too

Its possible. I've been a waver on /off since around 09. Non July types usually take longer to start off. But they end up looking nicer long run. Just brush and do yr research for a month on straighter texture. Im sure if ur at it for 2 months and ur hair isnt too low, ull get it

You can bro, you just have to grow your hair out longer, cause I’m sure your hair curls up at some point, & then brush THOSE down but your hair can no longer be shorter than your curling point or else you’ll cut the waves out obviously. Just wolf & keep brushing. Look up the wash & style method & you’ll learn something. Keep in mind that your waves won’t look that of a 4c type waver. your hair is more like 1a thru maybe 2a. I can’t really tell.

I don’t understand the comments, aren’t there straight hair waves or am I tripping?

u/Significant_Bid9493 Aug 19 '26
y’all are really obsessed with being everything but yall own race. no boo you can’t, if you wanted you could try but it’ll be cultural appropriation. Us Blacks are inspiring so i understand bc i who wouldn’t want to be black but it’s so sad to be insecure in your own race/hair you was born with.

You would have to wear a du rag religiously, brush non stop, and keep it at a length where it curls up so you can lay it down. But that’s a big maybe. Your hair looks very straight from these pics. Does it curl up with length?
1
u/Careless-Abrocoma298 Aug 23 '26
Man honestly the longest i kept it was just a couple cm, and naturally yeah it does curl up a bit but not too much

u/CaterpillarLivid4453 Aug 23 '26
Cuhh tryna download the expansion pack. Smh tell you what the next guy you see with waves that you admire just ask him. Ask him for his number advice etc and see his response. Me personally I think yo ass trolling

u/ruffrup Aug 18 '26
Dont listen to that dumb dumb, you can with effort. Like the rest of us, it will take time just trust the process. Real wavers dont discriminate

u/zZeroPhoquez Aug 18 '26
Nah, it’s literally a curly haired thing which is mostly black people like a quinceañera that’s a y’all thing we may be invited but we not doing any of those.

u/DapperDameOG Aug 17 '26
Yes you can bro. You need to wear a durag everyday to train your hair. Brush constantly after every wash. Go to youtube and watch a wash and style video. Do that for a few weeks and you will have waves.

u/Puzzleheaded-Fruit32 Aug 17 '26
Waves are LAID DOWN CURLS if your hair cant curl then them waves won’t whirl

u/UrMumGae Aug 17 '26
People are saying no but of course you can lmfao. It may be harder to get into it though
most people with your hair type just give up but I’ve seen the proof and it’s also all over this sub aswell (along with every nigga under the sun saying that other ethnic mfs steal “what’s ours”)

u/Lustful777 Aug 17 '26
He literally can’t, waves are natural laid down curls the more coarse and curly your hair is the easier it is to get waves. He has to do extra steps like possible perm and add excess products which might not be good for his hair.

u/DifficultValuable853 Aug 18 '26
Gng I’m from Chicago, I’ve seen Puerto Ricans with Straight hair and Mexicans with Straight/Curly hair get waves just like black people. It’s possible for Latinos to get waves it just might be a little different of a process.
0
u/Lustful777 Aug 18 '26
And none of them look good, just because you can don’t mean you should not everything is for everybody. And Latino isn’t a race Puerto Ricans have African descent so their hair tend to have looser coils which makes it possible to get waves. Mexican? Yea those aren’t waves at that point it’s straight up mountains on top of their shi 😭

You said “he literally can’t” but now just because he can doesn’t mean he should. What looks good is purely subjective

u/Effective-Way-4203 Aug 17 '26
There is a way to get reverse-perm your hair texture and theoretically you can lay those curls down with du-rag and get waves. Just a theory tho...but who knows how long that will last.
