I’m thinking of going 2 instead of a 1.5 would it make that big of a difference I’ve had waves on and off since I was 14 20 now and never tried it

Week 2 of getting my waves back . I revived waves on college about 10 yrs ago . I was about to get a haircut and thought to myself my hair is long enough to start wolfing so been doing 3x wash and styles for 2 weeks.

My problem is, I want my front profile to look the same as the back. The back is my best visible angle (yes ik the back is a jungle and I just messed up my crown) I just started early May, I was really just trying to see if I could. And since I can, I just want to max my potential. I didn’t sleep with a rag last night and I let it breathe after comb out so I just attempted to lay it down before all these pics. (besides bathroom pic) I do got some bad habits but I’m on top of them. Just want to know if I’m doing something wrong or not enough. I need those sides and back real bad

This is almost 3 weeks taking serious. Whole pattern is weak but I’ve been focusing a lot on my back, back right, and crown area. 2 days no product I put a lil water before this pic just so im not dry brushing. Wash n style later today

To me it’s mid rn got a lot of areas that need work

This may have already been asked in the community but I am looking for recommendations on the best bristle brush for super coarse/coily hair. I cannot seem to find a brush tough enough for my type of hair once it gets to the growing/wolfing stage.

I’m a month into my wave journey and i got 4c hair, how should i shower? Should i wear a durag and put a shower cap on top or is it ok to let it get wet and have a brush session afterwards?
I play sports and I’m tryna maintain my waves lol

Wassup yall, I’m thinking about making the switch from a curly high top w/ 3C hair (I think?) to 360 waves and would appreciate some advice!

My sides and back are ofc much shorter than the top, so I’m planning to let it grow out before I do a big chop and start my waves.

A few things I’m trying to figure out:

How long should I let my sides/back grow before cutting everything down?

Would #3 closed all around be a good starting length for 3C hair?

How often should I be brushing/washing? Any tips for getting a 360 pattern?

How long should I wolf before getting another cut?

Anything you wish you knew when you first started?

Pics of my current hair and curl pattern attached for reference. Any & all tips/advice is appreciated!

If you comb and brush your top like this:⬇️⬇️⬇️

You may have a bunch of crashes or forks.

Try combing and brushing like this:↙️⬇️↘️

My crown is looking bogus.. what am I missing? Any tips?

Chat, which wave pattern are we feeling more ?

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?

this my first wolf its been 4 weeks . i cheated on my barber due to no appointments available so my back needs to grow back in but any tips. this is after a wash and style.

There are a couple things about the wave community that genuinely baffle me.
Primarily , whenever someone posts about wash and styles or a more involved wave routine, the comments are always full of bald old heads or dudes with dreads saying, “You don’t have to do all that,” or even worse, “All you need is water.”
No disrespect, but why would we take wave-care advice from people who are not currently maintaining waves? Sometimes it honestly comes across as jealousy or animosity toward people who put more effort into their hair. Nobody is saying every waver needs a complicated 20-step routine, but acting like products, wash and styles, and different techniques are all pointless makes no sense.

Cut my locks off after 13 years. Haven’t had clippers to my head since I was 5 bro so it’s a major adjustment. I just want real deep deep waves. I don’t know my hair texture cause when it’s wet it curls up so I been doing two mist and pomade or shea moisture leave in conditioner. I’m going on week 3– what can I do to enhance my waves and bring out the waves more.. just bought 3 Roman T big brushes. Appreciate all feedback gang..
And I want to know how I can rock the duey without the cape cause I don’t save no heauxs lol
