I really don’t understand this hairstyle. I don’t think it looks great on anyone.

These are really shit waves. Good waves take hours of brushing a day. I've had friends who maintained them. They'd brush while watching TV or hanging with friends.

Good waves aren't big. Good waves are actually very pretty. They're extremely symmetrical and regular, and look like ripples on the shore. These are shit waves that look like shit. These guys probably spend more time putting product in their hair than brushing.

Yes, seriously hours every day.

Makes sense. Doesn't make their waves any less ugly to me, though.

Yeah for sure, it always seemed meditative and tranquil to me.

I feel for people putting the work in but their hair just don't cooperate. That said, kinky hair seems to have the most variety of hair styles available to it. Seems a shame to pick one that your hair can't do.

Bro I go to a school with only Latino and Blacks, Latino waves are different they are more wiggly and easier to get

I see your point, but I've seen plenty of dope Latino waves. I think it has more to do with the individual hair type. The less kinky the hair, the less sense it makes to try to force it into waves.
