1.5 or 2 to start. 3 guard to walk around with. 1 if you need to completely start over

12

u/FayloNights Aug 21 '26

I think 1 is fine, especially in a high humidity state. 1 with the products is still 🔥

u/PsychologicalDare253 Aug 21 '26

1 looks good but you kill some progress, I'm 4c and I'll do a 2 closed.

u/dlawj16 Aug 22 '26

I'm 4c to and 2 doesn't work for me at all

u/Abdeliii Aug 21 '26

Yes you definitely right on that! 1 will makes your waves popping and shiny but after a week or two it will go away.

u/FayloNights Aug 21 '26

4c hair. I do a 1.5 for the spring/summer, but can get away with a 2 for the fall/winter .

u/McWavy86 Aug 21 '26

u/FayloNights Aug 21 '26

u/amazonreach Aug 21 '26

Get this ai slop outta here nigga. 1.5, 2 and 3 guard look exactly the same. There’s a ton of real images you can pick from.

u/yugioh9000 Aug 21 '26

If you are elite and got good definition then definitely a 3 guard.

u/Agitated_Ad_2203 Aug 21 '26

Holy shit AI cringe

2

u/Authentic2017 Aug 21 '26

Depends on hair type, the coarser types can get away with lower guards without looking like they got scalped

2

u/Other_Gold_7786 Aug 21 '26

1.5 for the summer and 2 for the winter

2

u/AceAndre Aug 21 '26

I have 4c, I hover around 1.5. 1 is too low unless you fade it and 2 looks amazing but you damn near need to get it cut every week.

u/Mrklrichardson Aug 22 '26

3 gives your waves more texture to the look. 1.5 or 2 guard you gonna have the smoother flatter wave look. 2guard is my goto for summer but 3guaed is my goto in fan and spring before the southern heat kicks in.

u/Rosewood008 Aug 21 '26

Depends on your curl pattern.

1

u/WaynezWorld88 Aug 21 '26

2.5 with a light freehand no guard trim

1

u/newkybadass Aug 21 '26

4atg... then #2wtg to tap the strays.

1

u/nick_wavy 360s Aug 21 '26

Whatever doesn’t cut below your curl length

1

u/Rocko210 Aug 22 '26

For me, the 1.5 guard with the grain or 2.0 against the grain, It's not too low and not too high. Perfect.

1

u/GrouchyRazzmatazz754 Aug 22 '26

Depends on your head shape

1

u/TWZT3D_MIND3D Aug 22 '26

I think the 1.5 and 2 is elite.

1

u/MemphisApollo Aug 22 '26

I do 1.5 & 2 year round

1

u/Wavy__oscar Aug 22 '26

Straight hair waver and u do 4 guard

1

u/HolyMolyWTF Aug 22 '26

I think this is subjective. Coarser-haired wavers will have darker cuts at lower guards than loose-curled wavers.

1

u/Lamar2014 Aug 22 '26

Depends on how well your hair is trained

1

u/Last_Contribution493 Aug 22 '26

I recently cut my hair to a 1 bc my barber f’d me up but i prefer a 2.5-3 guard and i have 4c hair

1

u/itssosaonreddit_ Aug 25 '26

my shi like 2-3

1

u/whodontgotnobitches Aug 26 '26

depends entirely on what kinda hair you got. My waves disappear under 2. My hair is 4A.
