How to maintain 360 waves?
HAIRCUT
Many barbers are familiar with waves and have worked on many wavers before, so it would be perfect to mention to the barber that you are trying to get waves.
WASHING YOUR HAIR
The first step to “train your waves” is washing your hair using wave shampoos but regular shampoos also get the job done. It’s note that shampoos remove essential oils from hair, so it is important to use shampoos sparingly. Washing with shampoo once per week would be fine.
BRUSHING YOUR HAIR
Most wavers recommend brushing your hair when wet. Brush the hair down and out, starting from the crown of your head. For the hair on the sides, brushing should be forward and down, whilst the top of the head should be brushed towards the forehead. It is essential to pay enough attention to every part of your hair when brushing for best results.
MOISTURIZING YOUR HAIR
Brushing your hair is one of the essential steps in getting the waves you want. Using moisturizers with essential oils is highly recommended. Moisturizing once or twice a week is ideal.
THE DURAG
The durag/wave caps are essential to the waving process; they not only protect your waves from elements but also keep your hair in position overnight and lock in moisture to help in hydrating your scalp. The best time to wear your durag is for at least 30 minutes after brushing and, most importantly, before sleeping.
MAINTAIN YOUR WAVES
The 360 waves will be complete after a few months of brushing your hair consistently. Keeping it clean but avoiding over washing, getting haircuts every 2-4 weeks depending on how long you want your hair to grow.
