QuestionI had 360 waves. I decided to grow my hair out, but then wanted my waves back. I went to the barbershop and he cut my hair too short so I lost some of my waves. How do I get them back?
Community AnswerIf you had natural waves then try to wait for your hair to grow back. Don't straighten your hair too much or you will lose some of your waves. Just try to be patient and wait for your hair to grow back. -
QuestionHow many times a week should I use 360 style pomade?
Community AnswerAt the start, use it every day or every two days, but after you start to get a few ripples, use it once or twice a month. -
QuestionCan I use a soap to make waves?
Community AnswerNo, don't use soap. Try braiding your damp hair and letting it dry before combing out the braids.
