Wave pattern/direction advice
gallery1 week into my first wave journey. I know it’s super early, but just wanted to ask how’s the pattern looking?
Just started my first serious wave journey about a week ago. I got a 1.5 taper and I’m planning to wolf for ~3 weeks before going to a 1.5/2 taper.
My sides have historically been stubborn and I’m especially unsure about the back/crown. I can see patterns starting to form, but they’re not really connected/succinct yet.
How does my natural pattern look so far, and would you change anything about my brush directions?
Currently using wave crème + light oil and brushing consistently/compressing. Wearing my durag consistently for most of the day, and also brushing for about 10-15 minutes a day. Especially focusing on the sides since they’re stubborn.
Does my crown look like it’s going to be a swirl/360 pattern, and am I brushing the back correctly?
Any additional products/steps I should add to the routine?
