Nothing frustrates 360 wavers more than patchy waves — those stubborn bald spots where your pattern refuses to connect. Don’t panic. Patchy waves are common, especially for beginners, but with the right brushing and compression strategy, you can fill them in and achieve full 360 connections.
Why Waves Go Patchy
Here are the main reasons your wave pattern might be breaking:
-
❌ Skipping brush angles around the crown area.
-
❌ Inconsistent night compression using your Silky Durag.
-
❌ Uneven hair growth or improper brushing technique.
Fixing these small habits will bring noticeable progress in your 360 wave journey.
How to Fix Patchy Waves
✔ Map Out Your Crown Angles
Every waver’s crown grows differently. Identify your angles using a 360 Waves Brush and focus on brushing them daily with precision.
✔ Double Compress During Wolfing
When wolfing, layer a Wave Cap over your Silky Durag at night. This ensures deeper compression and helps stubborn areas connect faster.
✔ Brush, Then Compress Immediately
After every session, use your 360 Waves Durag to lock in your progress and train the pattern while you sleep.
FAQs
Q: Can patchy waves ever be fixed?
👉 Yes! With patience, proper angles, and daily brushing, any pattern can be corrected.
Q: Should I cut my hair lower to fix patches?
👉 Sometimes. A lower cut helps reset the pattern so you can start brushing evenly again.
Q: Do certain hair types patch more?
👉 Yes. Coarser textures tend to hold waves better, while looser curl patterns need more training and consistent compression.
Pro Tips from Elite Wavers
✔ Brush crown angles more often than any other section.
✔ Apply a few drops of natural wave oil before brushing to soften hair and improve definition.
✔ Don’t switch brushing styles or durag types mid-journey — consistency builds waves faster than any product.
