HOW ANY MAN CAN MAINTAIN NEAR PERFECT 360 WAVES ALL THE TIME USING
SWEET JAMILA SHEA GLAZE
"360 Waves", a style popular among black men who like to have their hair cut short. It is named after the natural pattern of waves it produces on the head and due to its needs, it a style specific for the texture and nature of black men’s hair. Some years ago, it was discovered that by constantly brushing short hair cuts, natural waves would seem to appear on the head of the man. This effect was called “brush waves”. Today it has evolved with the help of pomades and doo rags, to be the 360 Waves, a professional hair style.
Besides the short hair cut of at least 1/2-1 ½ inch, you need Sweet Jamila Shea Glaze to enhance the look of waves and the doo rag to put on top shortly before you go out (nylon head scarf) to hold and mold the style. The final result must be the natural looking pattern of waves.
Waves Are Enough - Diddy doesn't like to overdo it by throwing on a hat all the time. If he's wearing something like jeans and a tee, you might see a fitted ball cap. But if he's rocking a suit, a lot of times he's cool with letting people get "seasick" by looking at the waves in his hair, Mike B. said. That is, unless he's going for the Rat Pack look and wants to wear a short-brimmed fedora.
Don't Do The Doo - Mike B. says you will never see Diddy come out to a function rocking just a doo-rag on his head. A doo-rag must be covered by a fitted cap or not worn at all. "The only time you'll see Puff with just a doo-rag on his head is when his barber just finished cutting his hair and he's getting dressed," Bogard said. "You gotta let them waves lay right."
How to Use Sweet Jamila for 360 Waves: Curtis Smith treats Diddy’s hair with All Natural Sweet Jamila Shea Glaze and lay’s the Doo Rag on Diddy’s head approximately ten minutes before camera, filming, or showtime. Diddy never has to wear a doo rag for extra hours just to preserve his 360 waves….When Sweet Jamila melts into your hair and is absorbed by the scalp the waves form naturally every single time.
5 Myths about Natural Black Hair
MYTH # 1
Natural Hair Isn't Versatile!
FALSE!!!
If you think Afros are the only style for natural hair, you're missing out on a ton of unique hairstyles that are beautiful and healthy for your hair and scalp. Some of the many natural hairstyles you can wear include:
Two-strand twists
Bantu knots
Braids
Cornrows
Flat twists
Coils
Locs
Afro puffs
In addition, you can combine these styles to create your own one-of-a-kind hairdos. If your hair is short, that may limit your versatility. somewhat, but the longer your hair grows, the more styles you can experiment with and enjoy.
MYTH # 2
Natural Hair Doesn't Grow Black hair in its natural state has a tendency to shrink up, preventing you from seeing its real length, leading to the popular belief that it doesn't grow long.
FALSE!!!
While everyone has a predetermined hair length that's due to genetics, with proper care, you can grow your hair as long as it is destined to be and you don't need a relaxer or perm to do so! A relaxer straightens your curls so that you can see length more easily, but the chemicals in it do not promote hair growth. Hair grows an average of 1/2 inch per month, including black hair. Your hair is growing, but you may not be retaining the length due to chemical abuse, dryness, excessive heat styling and a general lack of proper care.
MYTH # 3
Natural Hair Is Strong by itself!
FALSE!!!
Natural hair looks strong, which is why so many people accidentally abuse it with rough treatment. In reality, black hair is fragile and needs to be treated with the gentlest of care in order for it to flourish. Wide tooth combs, natural ingredients and your own fingers are the best tools and products for natural hair.
MYTH # 4
Natural Hair Needs Grease!
FALSE!!!
Natural Hair Needs Grease Many products you'll find in the ethnic hair care section of your local stores are full of ingredients that aren't the best for black hair. Ironic, but true. Petroleum and mineral oil make up a large percentage of black hair products and all they do is clog your scalp and attract dirt to your hair. You do not have to "grease" your scalp for it to be healthy. A better approach is to apply natural oils directly to your hair, paying special attention to the ends, which tend to be dry.
MYTH # 5
Natural Hair Is Hard to Manage!
FALSE!!!
Natural, textured hair can seem hard to manage if you attempt to treat it like straight hair. If you use the same tools and expect the same results that you would on straightened hair, you're going to be disappointed. However, once you learn to treat natural hair in a way that doesn't try to change it or alter it, it can be as manageable as any other type of hair. You'll have to use different tools and different methods of styling. Your fingers, a wide tooth comb, natural boar bristle brushes and natural oils are all good ways to treat black hair. If you're used to dealing with straightened hair, learning new routines and techniques that work with your natural texture instead of against it will yield the best results.
