Master Your Wave Pattern: The Right Angles for Perfect 360 Waves

Creating elite 360 waves isn’t just about brushing hard — it’s about brushing with intention. The direction and angle of every stroke determine how your wave pattern forms and connects. When you brush consistently from your crown outward at the correct angles, you train your hair to lay in a clean, uniform pattern. Random brushing causes forks and weak connections, but disciplined brushing builds depth, definition, and flow. Mastering your angles is what separates average waves from a fully connected pattern.

Here’s how to brush correctly for stronger waves:

• Start at the crown. Identify your crown and brush outward in straight lines toward your hairline and neckline.

• Brush toward the neck in the back. All back strokes should flow down toward the neckline — not upward toward the crown.

• Stay consistent with your angles. Don’t switch directions mid-session. Your hair learns from repetition.

• Brush in sections. Focus on one side at a time to maintain clean, even connections.

• Lock it in. Apply a lightweight, conditioning pomade like RollerCoasterWaves Pomade to add hydration and controlled hold without heavy buildup. Finish with a durag to set the pattern.

When your angles are right and your routine is consistent, your waves respond. Precision brushing paired with the right product creates deeper connections, smoother lays, and waves that actually last.
