What Is 360 Waves?
It's a short haircut considered to be the classic hairstyle worn by African American men for many generations.
Over the years its been discovered that constantly brushing short hair cuts resulted in attractive wave patterns around the hair called Waves or in some camps Brush Waves.
Pomades and similar products were used to further develop this waved style. To help set the style a nylon head scarf called a DuRag or Doo-Rag was created to help hold and mold the style.
As the hairstyle become very popular it eventually became know as 360 Waves since the goal was to develop waves which made a full 360 circle around the head.
