Time to cut that hair down to get the wave poppin! Well you definitely need to wash it first. No barber likes for his clippers to get all messed up with your product buildup. Not cool.
Your hair should be fairly long now due to the 6 to 8 weeks of wolfing I'm sure you just went through. By now you should be using a good curl enhancing shampoo to wash your hair. This will promote more curling of the hair which translates to more waves for you.
Wash thoroughly with your hard brush. Brush your hair with the grain, against the grain, sideways, in circles. Doesn't matter, you won't lose your waves and your hair needs to be cleaned properly so that your products don't end up clogging your pores. Condition your hair as you normally would. Leave it in for a while, brush your pattern back in, then rinse well.
Now listen up. You wanna make sure your hair is ready to cut so you want to moisturize it LIGHTLY. Hit your hair up with the soft brush for a while. Don't even dry it. Let the soft brush dry out your hair a bit. This curls it up, brush em in. Apply your moisturizer, remember not heavy at all. This is just to keep your. Hair soft and easy to cut. Ksssh ksshhhh kshhh.
Throw your durag on for a while. At least an hour so your hair can stay put til you're ready to leave for the barber. On your way over there pull out your COMB and get to work. You wanna comb because it lifts the hair that's about to be cut. And connects to top layer of hair so you can get a nice even cut throughout to start solidifying your pattern.
Remember each cut gets you closer to your goal.
