- 1). Begin with clean, dry hair. Moisten the towel with hot water and wring out the excess.
- 2). Scoop out a quarter-sized amount of shea butter and emulsify it by rubbing it together in your palms. Apply the butter to your hair by massaging it in from scalp to tips.
- 3). Place the damp towel on your head and let it sit for two minutes. The heat from the towel will help melt the shea butter into your hair.
- 4). Brush your hair from the crown forward, then brush from the crown down to your neck. Brush the sides at an angle from your crown down to your ears.
- 5). Brush for at least one hour each day. For convenience, split the brushing sessions up by brushing 30 minutes in the morning and 30 minutes at night. Brushing is key to achieving 360 waves.
- 6). Cover your hair with a du-rag to protect the waves. Wear the du-rag to bed and as much as possible. This will compress the style and hold the waves in place.
- 7). Avoid washing your hair for at least one week after beginning waves. Washing will loosen the style.
- 8). Avoid cutting your newly formed waves for two to three weeks after styling. When you have to get a haircut, ask your barber to cut with the grain.
