Can you use a comb for 360 waves?

Yes. Most definitely. Combing through your waves not only helps with detangling before taking on brushing, but it also helps spread out all the products used on the hair evenly. This means less snagging and ripping of hair. If you recently got a haircut, it is more effective using the thin tooth side of your comb.

 

 

Can you get waves using a comb?

Combing is honestly one of the main ways to get more defined ways. So yes. You can get waves using a comb. However since combing is aimed at detangling mostly, it lifts hair up (which is not what you want). For this reason, follow up with brushing so you can lay your waves as flat as possible.

Combing also helps get rid of forks. What are forks? It usually appears as a split in your waves. An actual fork. It is an inconsistency in your waves that can be fixed by constantly combing hair.

How to comb your waves.

When it comes to combing, it is just as easy as brushing them. Start almost at the crown (an inch or two from the crown) down towards the forehead.

• Find your waves’ “point of origin” which is usually located to the left or right of the very center of your crown and less commonly directly in the midpoint. Use a mirror or two to locate your point of origin if you are having concern otherwise.
• Now that you have found your point of origin or “cowlick”, brush from that crucial position to the edges of your hairline. Your waves should radiate for this spot to every corner of your head; to your forehead, sideburns and the nape of your neck.
• Remember to brush with the grain of your hair. Brushing against the grain will achieve less than perfect wave patterns which may be difficult yet possible to correct later, unless you have trained your hair

How often should you comb your waves?

As much as combing is important for your waves. Be careful not to overdo it. Too much combing especially on a daily basis can do more harm than good to your waves. This is because combing can cause friction especially when done on dry hair making it weak and prone to breakage and further damage.

Combing is therefore recommended as a once or twice a week endeavour. Anything more than that is overkill.

Combing for wolfing.

Wolfing is the process of growing your hair out while maintaining your waves, which is means you grow out your hair for about 4-10 weeks. Wolfing garners deeper waves and allows one to correct the wave pattern, and is the most important process to get 360 waves. Be sure to comb your hair while wolfing to train your hair. In a way, wolfing will give you the best results by defining your waves significantly.

Is combing your waves backwards bad for your waves?

Combing your hair backwards breaks forks and forms better connections it is only advisable if your hair is already trained and has gained connections and patterns. If you have not trained your hair and have just had a haircut, combing your hair against the grain damages your cuticles, your hair falls out, and sometimes makes your scalp sore.

Takeaway:

Simply grow your hair past your common depth even to the extreme of a mini-fro, continue to train your 360 waves (you may have to look rough for a while) until your curls open into a deeper wave pattern. .
