                    How to Brush

Brushing is very important when training your hair to get a 360Wave pattern. It is the most important step in getting waves. Pomades and hair care products are all secondary. You can use all the pomades and gunk you want, but if you don't brush the correct way it will not help you get 360Waves. Below is an illustration of how to brush. Please pay close attention to the angle and direction of the brush. If you have been brushing different than the illustation and have waves, good for you. It still does not change how the correct way should be. In order to get perfect 360 rotation of waves you must brush in a circular direction as well. Here's an example..........

As you can see brushing is the key not pomades or creams.

Soft to Medium bristle brushes is recommended, but a hard brush is sometimes useful as well.

Lately instead of taking photos I've been making short video clips of my waves, If I find a good reliable site I can upload the videos to I might make a brushing video and post it........

seeing as tho u have soft hair, use a soft brush. it will take only prolly a week or a lil more b4 you even see a few lines, and thats wit constant brushing. u wont get them over night. u should brush more than 15 mins and worry less about the du raggin. (i hope u dont mean reapeating ur meth each day, cuz ur not gonna get newhere like that.) id jes du rag at night if i were u. itll take months b4 u start to spin.

^your question has been answered a couple of times already, here it goes again, it doesn't matter which way the handle is facing, it won't affect your pattern, and yes you can switch up.

That's a good idea Spinna, that's even better than a picture.  That way the newbies can actually see someone brushing.

What can I say man, you on top of things playa.

Spinna you and Sjay hair looks just as good are even better than any of these cats. All of my 360VETS is spinning. Cedclarks hair is just a little longer. It's all good though. The newbies won't know who they are anyway.

this sounds plausible. b4 i really got into waves, i slept on the back of my head, and i had waves there. crazy i know! but i guess if ur a wild sleeper, it has an effect on ur waves. im like a statue so my hair doesnt really mess up.
