A FEW Barber THOUGHTS...

GOT WAVES

Wave Length: The optimal length of your hair, for your waves to express themselves.

I get a lot of youth and adults asking about waves. There are a lot of factors that go into the wave hairstyle. 

·         Hereditary 
·         Wave length
·         Clean hair/scalp
·         Product use
·         Brushing

The biggest factor is in your genes. Some of us will never have waves, don’t blame the barber… blame your parents. 

For those who do grow waves, I would have to say that maintaining your  “Wave Length” is a top priority.

Your neighbors waves might pop more at a shorter length, where as you might need to leave a little more length for your waves to show. Some guys can get one haircut a month, come back to the barber with an afro, get that cut off and have a head full of waves again. The more you can keep your hair around that length, the higher chance of success with waves.

Keeping your hair/scalp clean will allow your hair to grow healthy. Use a quality shampoo and conditioner, followed up with a quality daily moisturizing product more in the lotion/cream consistency. I recommend that you stay away from wave grease/waxes/pomades because they can leave a heavy coating on your hair/scalp & often take several washes to remove.

Start with a softer bristle brush for shorter hair on up to a meduim for longer wave lengths… you probaby won’t need a hard bristled brush unless you’re way past due for a haircut.
