The most essential part of getting 360 waves is brushing. The only way to get waves is to brush your hair properly. the brushing techniques are very simple but require consistency. I would suggest brushing for at least 10 minutes in a session and doing 2 to 3 sessions a day. Without brushing, regardless of the other products or methods you use to try to enhance your waves, you will see no progress in your wave process.
To start, begin with the brush in your dominant hand, start at the crown, or the middle /back of your head, and brush from the crown to the front of your forehead. This will ensure you correctly brush the top of your head. Repeat brushing from the crown forward multiple times. After getting the top, use your brush on the right side of your head with your right hand. once again, start from the crown of your head and brush toward your temple multiple times, then switch to brushing toward behind your ear. This method ensures you will get the entire side of your head. For the left side of your head, repeat the same method (from the crown down), however make sure you use your left hand. The trickiest part of brushing 360 waves is getting the back. This is because without a mirror it is hard to tell what you are doing. I suggest holding a mirror behind your head with your non-dominant hand and brushing with your dominant hand, once again from the crown down. Starting brush strokes from the crown is the most essential part of getting waves. Repeat the strokes from all angles for 10 to 20 minutes for best results.
Notice each stroke starts from the crown, or middle of the head and goes down toward the edge of the hair at the respective angle. The arrows show the direction the brush to go to get the best results.
