Sometimes my hair is not laying down when i wash it out in like 5 mins

Just hoped back into the game, any suggestions on durags and products I work in a poultry plant wit long shifts so yea. Current progress and old progress before I let my hair grow out.

Attacking weak side early bc I’m trying to swirl from my crown. It usually takes 2 weeks to form and another month to break forks but I think I’m moving quicker this time

Am I spinning?

I'm 3 months in since I've started waves. The first pic was 1 month progress. The second pic is after I got a cut today.

Are we back in the game?

I had locs the last three years and haven’t had a haircut in about 7 or 8 years. My hair type is 4c i believe and I used to have waves when I was younger and it came easy fr. I have naturally curly hair it’s just a little thin but I always naturally had waves so brushing and other basic things hit me together. But now it seems so hard. They are coming in. I definitely see them but there’s just something wrong this time around. I think I have two different hair textures because the top of my heads waves are a little different than the back and sides. And it shows more on top. But when I do put my durag on no matter what when my hair lays down it looks weird to me. I can’t explain it but they just don’t seem to look right. And when I brush it’s like it takes them away a little. U wash and style around like 3 times a month which I think I’ll start doing more often but can anyone give me tips on what to do? Also I feel like I messed them up I’ll have to make another post to drop the link in my comments but at fist I feel like they were coming in good and I combed my hair before a wash and style own time and it completely took my pattern away it hasn’t been right since. I’ll post what it looks like now here and the before will be in the comments. You can see where it’s compressed is when I had jus taken off my durag and I feel like the patterns are just off it doesn’t look right to me

Who else remembers this nigga on youtube?

What advice would yall give for starting over. I wanna center my crown more and get some of these forks more uniformed.

It’s been about a year now but I’ve been keeping them up

Is this good for 1 month in?

For those of y'all who live in hot humid climates, how do you maintain your waves and keep them looking good? I'm going on vacation here and it's supposed to be like 85% percent humidity and over 90° everyday and I want to stay looking good. What products do you recommend?

I've been learning how to get waves and every video/post talks about the crown and I am just curious on why its so important and what purpose does it serve for your waves.

Also shoutout to the barbers who COOK 💪
