Official 360 WAVES Thread VoL. Spring Season... Owwwwwwwwwwwwww

[elpablo21]

Waves on the right side are a myth!!!!! I can't get my right side waves in for not a thing in this world. Any tips would be appreciated!

This is my hair now...

I will never understand why this **** is so hard to get going on the right side.

I finally got them to wave up on my right side not too long ago, I just kept wolfing until they came through. They arent going in the correct direction but whatever

Zero gap the ones you have first

What does this mean and what is the effect?

Basically reduces the distance between the bottom (moving) blade and the top (guide) blade.

Allows for the trimmer to cut closer, which results in a sharper cut. Guaranteed your barber zero-gapped all of his T-outliners.

There's several vids on youtube for every type of edger/trimmer.

If you choose to do it be very careful that the bottom (moving) blade does not extend past the top blade or you will slice the **** outta yaself

Thanks for this info. I hated that every time I tried to do my tape it never looked crisp.

Yall gotta realize that your hair texture isn't the exact same on the sides and that's why it's a lil more difficult to get the waves going there

I always thought it was because of the way we slept.

im sayin, unless you permed one side, your texture is the same throughout

its dependent on the way you sleep

That could also be a reason. I've never really had much problems with my side waves except for tightening the direction

Zero gapped my edgers today. Line is so sharp now...

Wolf and don't get any tapers until they come in how you like them.

Once you start getting waves on the wides and you want to connect them into the 360, use a comb to connect everything and clean up your connections

I've been looking up Youtube how to get waves with straight hair but I just wanna confirm here. I'm Viet and have straight hair so would it be possible to get waves? A lot of people say you can but I've never seen vids showing wave progress with straight hair like asian straight hair. I usually get a fade with a 2 on the side and 3 on top and I hear that you wanna start off short with a 2 all around so would that be something I do when I get a cut this week instead of a fade? And for the first 2 weeks all I need to is brush and no products yet?

For all you dudes who already have trained hair but are trying to spin harder, if there's a single piece of advice in this thread you need to follow, it's cop that CQP brush. 

I've been dipping pretty strong with a consistent routine for years, after one week with the CQP soft brush it's like my **** is on steroids.

I said **** it and started using pomade again...

Going natural is all good, but I need these sides to lay down.

Yeah I'm using it too (Gold Sporting Waves) because my hair is VERY thick and I'm wolfing for another week. Trying to get this right side to lay down and wave with the rest of my head but its not working.

Put that stuff down man, you don't need it if you got a CQP brush.

 

[Good Ol J.R]

I aint got 30 bucks for no damb brush

HOWEVER, my barber's cousin (also a talented barber) just created a new brush called the Armadillo Wave Brush...similar to CQP brush for a 1/3 of the price so I may do that.

 

[ice city fc]

Cop for 16 off amazon, I went back and forth for months on whether or not to spend 16 on a brush just off principle and finally did it. Best choice I ever made. 

 

[Good Ol J.R]

Also, who in here has bad scalp flaking? What do you guys use to prevent this?

 

[big meech]

Ice what makes the cqp brush so special in your opinion ?


Im thinking about pulling the trigger..

 

[ill steelo]

With those CQPs you can wolf almost forever . With no need for pomade.

Paying more than a few bucks for a brush is wild, but these are legitimately worth it.

Yeah, that medium joint is fuego, but my **** just won't lay down after a few weeks man.

Its killing me. My top and back are trained to lay down, but the sides are a *****

Ice what makes the cqp brush so special in your opinion ?

Strictly the results. I could see obvious visual changes in my wave pattern after a couple of days. It's been a little over a week now and I'm still seeing improvement day to day, at this point I'm just waiting for the results to taper off. 

I had high expectations but I wasn't expecting anything like this. I've been brushing my head for a decade and I gotta say the first time I used it it felt different from any brush I've used. It's hard to explain. 

Just to give a little background, I already had waves my hairs been trained for years. I only products I've ever used were carrot oil and/or olive oil but I switched to a Cold Label natural hair oil a couple of months back. I also don't wear a durag or stocking cap.

All you need forreal is a medium CQP and a hard Diane and you're good on brushes. Some people got like 20 brushes :x
