Keeping Waves in Your Hair

Now that you have begun to form some waves in your hair it is important to follow some steps in order to maintain and strengthen your waves hairstyle.

Keep your hair waves clean with wave shampoo and wave conditioner. Make sure when applying these products with your hand, brush, or comb that you move in the same pattern as your waves to not break pattern in which your hair waves have been trained to lay.

Allow your hair to grow for a while as you train it your waves to grow in the pattern you like before getting your next haircut. During this time a durag and brush are your best friends. When your durag is not on you should be brushing as much as you can. As your hair gets longer you will see the waves in your hair increase in depth and definition. This is also known as “wolfing” and is an important part of maintaining the hair wave pattern you have created. When it does finally come time for a haircut be sure to ask your barber to cut with the grain and not too low. It is now that you will see the results of your hard work from wolfing and brushing. Although it is tempting; you should not get more than one haircut a month unless they are tapers or shape-ups. Too many haircuts will hinder the wolfing process which trains the waves in your hair.

Most importantly you must Brush! When you are done brushing brush some more. After that brush again! Brush, brush, brush! Whenever you have free time and are not wearing a wave cap it is important to keep brushing in the desired wave pattern. This helps to train and maintain the waves in your hair in the pattern you desire.

After your waves are set you can begin to experiment with different wave products to find what suits you best and fits in your budget. You may prefer a hard brush over a medium one or even like a double sided brush. It all is really up to you now that you have waves in your hair.

How to Get Waves: Step 1

Many are unsure of how to get waves, but what is important is where you start so preparing your hair to get waves with the proper haircut and cleaning is important.

What you will need to prepare your hair to get waves (for a full list of supplies and substitute options view the Products page):  • hair clippers  to trim hair if the initial haircut will be done by you  • 3 way mirror  to get an even cut if the initial haircut will be done by you  • shampoo  • conditioner        Your hair will need to be between 1 to 2 inches in length in order to prepare it to get waves. You can cut your own hair  with a set of home clippers like the ones above or professional Andis clippers making sure that the guard used is no less than #1. Begin cutting with the clippers at the crown of your head and cut forward to your hairline for each section of your hair. This is is known as cutting with the grain and should be used for each section of your hair. The 3 way mirror  will help you cut the back and sides of your head properly and will be helpful if you decide to line yourself up.You can also visit your barber and request a "dark Cesar with the grain" haircut if you choose not to cut your own hair to get waves.

     Wash your hair of any loose clippings after your haircut. Make sure to treat your hair and scalp of any conditions such as dandruff using a dandruff shampoo and conditioner for maintaining curls and shine. You will be brushing a lot to get waves so making sure that our hair is healthy and strong when you start will give you the best results.
