Dont use pomade use something light like olive/carrot cream and you dont need to use it daily either (atleast in my case I didnt) once/twice a week. Get a good brush and brush brush bush. Shower brushing is good too but use a soft brush. Wolfing will also work wonders for your pattern, I used to do 6-8 week wolfing sessions and try to keep a doo rag on at night when sleep. Again, dont mess with them pomades a light oil will do just fine & wash your hair once a week. Depending on the grade of your hair you should start seeing a pattern form rather fast using this method. This thread got me wanting to get my waves going again.

I dont knwo of anybody that is unable to get waves with brushing. Certain types of hair makes it easier though.Its usually the softer your hair is the easier time you will get it to wave...hence people saying use water or pomade.

Brush constantly. Du rag when your not brushing. I haven't used pomade since I was 15 i started using olive cream (smells better, not as thick, easy to wash out) let your hair grow for about a month while your brushing and du ragging, after you wolf for a month get a cut but leave it dark. Wolf for another month and get another cut. Depending on your hair you may have to wolf again, but after 2 wolf sessions you should be straight.

Just brush and tie your hair down when you not brushing. If you don't like cream, pomade, grease then wet your hair with water to make it a lil easier to brush. The nappier your hair the easier it'll be for you to start spinning.

Water brush and a durag can't go wrong do it long enough and the waves will show but if u can't wait use the grease it's the fastest way without the effort...me personally waves locked so I usually brush in shower..

you really don't need a brush or a kit, or a du rag.

you need a one inch cut with the grain and a stocking cap.

Get a good brush a cheap one will have you brushing forever.
Make sure your using natural shampoo and a Natural moisturizer.
Don't cut your hair let it grow and you will have waves.
