Ok!
You’ve got the questions and I got the answers.
And in this video, I’m going to answer them.
Question of the day ladies and gentlemen...
"HOW TO GET WAVES?"
Ok, first what do you need?
You’re going to need these things.
Number one you’re going to need a brush This is the brush I use
I got this brush from smoothstylz.com This is a medium brush
We'll get into the difference of soft medium and hard brushes later in this video
Next, you’ll need a durag Get a durag that feels silky
I’ll get into why you need a durag that feels silky later in this video as well
Next, get a comb You can get one with wide teeth and skinny
teeth Next, get some hair products
Youll need a pomade and a moisturizer I’ll break down why you need both of those
too Next, get a plastic bag
Then finally get a handheld mirror
Now you have all the materials you’ll need to get waves
You’re ready to be swimming harder than the worlds best scuba diver
Now its time for the first step of your wave-making process
Step 1.
Get a haircut Which haircut you get will depend on a few
things What is your hair texture
What wave pattern are you trying to achieve Ok, so what’s your hair texture?
Or you can call it your hair type.
Do you have coarse or kinky hair?
Do you have wavy or straight hair?
What is your hair texture?
Is it 4c?
Is it 3a?
These are things you have to find out for yourself.
The easiest way is just to go on google images and search up different hair types.
Type in things as simple as “4c hair” or “3b hair”
Its really that simple Once you’ve found your hair type that will
help you decide which haircut you should start with.
Generally, for waves, you want to get a haircut somewhere in between a 1 with the grain and
a 3 with the grain You don’t want to cut it too low because
then your hair won’t be long enough to wave up
But you also don’t want it to be too long because it could possibly over curl
So find the perfect haircut that works for you
The straighter your hair is, the higher you should cut your hair
The kinkier your hair is, the lower you should cut your hair
As for the actual type of haircut you should get
You should just get a regular caesar cut with a taper on the sides and back
Do not get a fade in you want 360 waves, 540 waves, or 720 waves
If you want 180 waves then you should be fine with getting a fade but any other wave pattern
you should just stick to regular haircuts.
Now that you have your hair cut let’s move onto step 2
Go to a store or online and buy some hair products
The two main products you’ll need are pomade and moisturizer
Pomade is to hold your hair in place while you’re brushing and after you’ve finished
brushing If you are familiar with basketball and heard
the term assist That’s basically like what this is but for
waves The moisturizer does exactly what the name
implies It moisturizes your hair
Dry hair is a big no-no Moisturizer for your hair is like lotion for
your skin These are examples of pomades
And these are examples of moisturizers The way you apply these products to your hair
is in the same direction you would brush If you don’t know how to brush your hair
then don’t worry because ill explain it
Before we move onto the next step I just want to make sure that everyone
And I mean everyone Has liked the video
It helps me more than you can ever imagine It’s a huge boost to my motivation
Plus my channel has been lowkey dying lately So help your boy out
Also while you’re at it Go subscribe to my NEW youtube channel
I’ve got a lot of great content coming to it very soon
And you don’t want to miss it Alright let’s get back to the steps
Step 3 Buy a brush
There are 3 different textures of brushes There’s hard brushes, medium brushes, and
soft brushes Hard brushes are used for maintaining your
hair at those longer lengths when it’s harder to manage
Soft brushes are used to lay your hair down and give it that buttery smooth controlled
look Medium brushes are kind of in between those
two If you can only afford to get one brush then
I’d recommend you get a medium brush It’s good for all-around brush sessions
This brush that I have here is a medium brush I got it from smoothstylz.com
If you want one of these brushes Go to smoothstylz.com
When you buy one make sure to use my discount code WAVEMAN for a 20% discount
Step 4 to getting waves Buy a durag
You can get durags at most stores Walmart, Target, CVS, the dollar store and
even online I recommend that you get a durag that has
that silky look and feel to it You don’t want a durag that feels like a
cloth or something The reason for this is because those types
of durags drain the moisture out of your hair Making it dry
You don’t want that to happen So to prevent that make sure you get a good
durag If you wonder if you absolutely need a durag
my answer is yes Durags are essential
Without a durag, your waves will look very messy and will be all over the place
Wear your durag anytime your hair will get wet and also anytime you go to sleep
So here are some examples of when you need to wear a durag
At the beach At a pool
Working out Playing sports
A long car ride that you might fall asleep When you go to bed
And more

squad” right now
Step 5 Buy a handheld mirror
You’ll need this to see your head when you’re brushing
You want to make sure that you’re brushing your hair at the same angles every time
If you don’t then you’ll create something called forks
I’ll make another video about forks so make sure you stick around on my channel for more
heat I’ll also make more videos on other things
like how often to wash your hair and how often to cut it
