If you desire to better your wave pattern brushing and combing your waves into your pattern will be a great way to start your journey to benefiting your overall waves. The key to creating waves in your hair firstly is by simply brushing your hair a lot overtime the waves will began to form. Without brushing it does not matter how much you wear your du-rag or comb your hair you will still have little success if you do not brush your hair. Meanwhile, brushing your hair while adding wearing your du-rag and combing your hair will benefit your pattern the most. Just don't be the waver who brushes a lot but never rags up. Don't be the waver that combs a lot but rarely brushes and don't be the waver that wears their du-rag but rarely brushes. To be a successful waver you have to balance them all together in order for it to be effective. Brushing and Compressing is the key to get nice looking waves. Combing benefits your waves mostly when you are wolfing. Wolfing is when you grow your hair out while brushing and compressing for a extended period of time. When you comb into your pattern, the comb actually lifts the hair off the scalp in the desired direction you comb it in. The brush cannot get all the way to the scalp like a comb can. The comb acts a way to stretch and loosen your curls in your waves. Waves are laid down curls brushing and compressing a lot creates this. While your wolfing your hair will began to bunch up byproduct of the extensive brushwork and compress work you put into your waves. After maybe your first wolf you may need to start combing before a brush session at least once a session. You always want to comb and brush it back down so you have to make time to comb. A great combing session allows your hair to breathe and spreads the hair more than bunch it. Overtime, through wolfing and wave maintenance , combing will began to organize your waves and better the connections of your wave pattern. Wolfing and combing go hand to hand that is the best time to start to comb your hair and waves to keep everything even. It lifts the hair off the scalp and makes it easier for your hair to lay down once you brush and compress.Brushing and compressing I repeat is the key to nice looking waves BUT do not underestimate the use of combing.
