You're trying to find out how to get waves,
and luckily I know how to get waves. So in this video, I'm going to be teaching you
exactly how to do it. Go ahead and like the video and let's get right into it.
First things first, let's list the materials needed. I went out and got fresh products for
this video, just for you. okay, maybe not for you. Anyway, the first product you're gonna need
is a brush. I just got this brush from a regular beauty supply store. just to show you that you can
really go anywhere and get one. This brush has a mixture of bristles between medium and hard,
so it just kills more than one bone. I mean. what am I talking about? it kills two birds with one
stone. "kills more than one bone", I don't even know what I was about to say. but if you wanted
to go ahead and get a really nice high quality brush, not saying this isn't a high quality brush,
but if you wanted to get my recommendation for a brush, that's what I should have said,
my recommendation is going to a website called www.smoothstylz.com and getting a brush from
there. why?because you get a high-quality brush, and every time you purchase a brush it helps me
out. just being honest. no, but seriously they are really good brushes if you go back and watch some
of my videos you'll see me using the SmoothStylz brushes because I actually like them. next up,
you're going to need either a wave cap or a durag. I'm pretty sure you're already familiar with the
traditional durag. you know the ones you put on your head and you just tie up? that's why I went
ahead and got this one for this video. just because it's something a little bit different
instead of it having you know you tie it in the back this one is just a strap and you strap it
at the front that way nobody out there has an excuse some people might be saying oh I can't
tie a do-rag all right what's your excuse now straps next up get some products there are so
many different products you can get there's moisturizers there's Butters there's oils
there's pomades there's everything you can imagine for a beginner you don't need to go over the moon
get what you think will work for you especially if you're younger just go ahead and get what you
can afford so if you can only afford some sporting waves or some 360 style Pomade some Murray's Palm
some whatever get that now there is a disclaimer not all products work the same because not
everyone's hair is the same so it might not work the same for you as it did for somebody else keep
that in mind even if you have a friend who has waves and you use the exact same products he uses
your results might not be the exact same as his why because there's more things that go into it
alright so those are the three you're gonna need a brush a durag and products there are of course
additional things you can get like a handheld mirror a comb a Ziploc bag but you don't have
to have those all right the brush let's go ahead and open this thing up so this is this brush there
are three main types of brushes soft medium and hard each of them have their own purpose I did
make a video comparing the three different types of brushes soft medium hard so please go ahead and
watch that video I'll leave it linked below and hey maybe I might even go ahead and remake that
video leave a comment down below if you want me to do that because for some reason people don't
like to go back and watch the old videos they just want me to make the same video again and I'm not
gonna lie I feel the same way when I watch another YouTube or two so I understand you but yeah the
brush so if you're brand new to waves you may not know this so make sure you listen very closely to
this part specifically are you listening are you sure all right now that I got your attention go
like the video I know you still haven't done it oh I tricked you didn't I yeah I know I did go like
the video I'm not just saying this for my health I mean listen I'm spending 30 minutes maybe an
hour teaching you helping you the least you can do is spend literally less than two seconds to press
a button on your screen that you're already looking at already touching I mean just when
you think of it that way just go like the video anyway the brush so in case nobody's ever told
you when getting waves brushing your hair is the absolute most important thing you need to brush
your hair if you want to get waves brush it a lot brush it a little brush it up brush it down well
maybe not the last part the direction you brush it definitely does matter but anyway brush it a
lot brush it a little doesn't matter brush your hair that's what matters now the more you brush
the better your waves will be the faster you'll get waves but if you don't brush a lot you're
still going to get waves it might not be too good but you'll get them as long as you brush enough
enough is the key word me personally I don't believe in just brushing enough I believe in
brushing more than enough so that way I can get good waves not just half waves but this video is
just teaching you how to get waves it's not about how to get good waves it's not about how to get
Flawless waves I think I made a video on that but if I didn't my video is coming up soon cool
uh that went in my nose anyway so the way you brush your hair is going to depend on
the wave pattern you want to get there's a few different wave patterns you got the traditional
360 waves you got 540 waves you got 720 waves 360 waves all you have to do is brush your hair
from the crown of your head which is that spot in your back of your head which everybody calls
a bald spot you brush from that part of your hair out to the hairline on each side so if it's on
the side here you brush from the crown out to your hairline so on the back brush from the crown down
to your hairline so the front you brush from the crown to the hairline no matter which side pretty
simple pretty easy pretty self-explanatory next up when it comes to the products the next process
is really going to depend on which products you have I would personally recommend for a
beginner going to get some moisturizer and then going to get some Pomade there's many different
types of moisturizers and pomades the ones I have here are curl enhancer smoothie made by
shea moisture and then sporting waves are these my favorite two products no I just grabbed them
because they were the closest to me just being honest but I still use them because they work
for me so if you have a moisturizer and a Pomade I recommend putting the Moisturizer in first all
you have to do is take a scoop right maybe like enough to fit on your finger take that scoop put
it on your palm of your hand rub it in and then you rub it on your hair in the same direction
that you brushed your hair by the way I noticed that I didn't go over the different wave patterns
this video is literally just about 360 waves so if you want a 540 video or 720 video I'll make
one of those just leave the comment down below I'm not gonna make it unless I see the comments
just being honest and there's probably somebody out there wondering about 180 waves don't worry
this same video will work for you because 180 waves and 360 waves are almost like the exact
same thing you brush them the exact same way the only difference is 180 waves is only on the top
360 waves is all the way around does that make sense if that makes sense leave a comment down
below saying it sure does that's how I'll know this made sense to you and that's how I'll know
you actually stayed to watch this far in the video but yeah take the moisturizer and rub it
in your hair in the same direction that you brush your hair after that just get your brush back out
and brush your hair once again now for a beginner I would recommend brushing your hair maybe like 2
20 minutes to 45 minutes each day I think that's like a safe range where you're not brushing too
much but you're not brushing too little either if you're really having a hard time getting the waves
I would recommend extending the amount of time that you brush your hair each day so 45 minutes
isn't working try an hour every day repetition is very important especially when getting the
hairstyle like waves because any little thing especially in the process of you trying to get
the waves it can throw it off completely like you could be so close and then one little thing
can ruin it here's the main thing that's going to ruin it if you don't sleep without your do-rag in
this process you might as well not even try don't get me wrong it's completely possible
to get waves without a do-rag in fact I've even made a video on it and I might even make another
one since I know you guys aren't going to watch the old one but that's not the point the purpose
of the do-rag is to save the process that you just did so when you finish brushing your hair
just put your durag on this is going to hold your hair in place and that prevents it from
getting messed up anytime you do pretty much anything where you feel like your hair might
get messed up don't even risk it just put your durag on every time you get in the shower put your
durag on every time you go on a long car trip and you think you're gonna you know rest your head on
the head rest put in your do-rag if you're going out in the rain put on your durag if you're going
swimming put on your durag and for the love of God every night not every two nights not every other
night not only when you feel like it every night wear your do-rag I mean it's it really there's no
reason why you shouldn't wear your durag to sleep it takes you what 10 seconds to put it on just
wear your do-rag now the other part of wearing your durag is the part that everybody loves and
you might not know this if you never wore a durag or a wave cap and that's that the wave cap or the
durag they both lay your hair down and why is that so good because what are waves I probably should
have said this in the beginning of the video I don't know what I thinking why I waited this
long but waves are basically just curls that are stretched out and then laid down on your
head you hear that keyword lay it down just like what I said the durag does it lays your hair down
so basically the do-rag solidifies your waves the brush makes the waves the products are really just
there to assist you and the do-rag really holds it down literally this is usually why your waves look
better in the morning if you're somebody who's already in the process of trying to get waves and
you always notice I have waves when I wake up and I take my durag off but then over time they either
just get frizzy or they go away completely that's why so this is just like a basic tutorial on how
to get waves I'm not going super in detail only because there's other videos coming up so I hope
you're excited for those so you'll be learning more in-depth tutorials like how to get waves
faster how long it usually takes to get waves I'll make another video on the different type types of
brushes you know soft hard versus medium but even curved brushes versus flat brushes the different
types of durags silky versus velvet the different types of products natural versus unnatural the
different ways you can brush your hair whether you do dry brushing whether you do blind brushing all
the different methods like the wash and style the plastic bag method even some of those lesser used
methods like the OMB method the hot oil method the hot towel method the cold towel method there's so
many methods out there that I can make videos on just for you and for the people who already have
waves let's say you have 360 waves right now and you want to learn how to get 540 waves I could
