If your hair is short and you’re wondering if you can still get waves ,the answer is yes. Low haircuts are actually one of the best ways to start your wave journey, as long as you train your hair right.
Waves are created by consistently brushing and compressing your hair to form a ripple-like pattern 🌊
Let’s break down exactly how to get 360 waves with a low haircut.
Step 1: Start with the Right Low Cut
Go for a 1.5 to 2 guard all the way around. This gives you enough length to train your hair while keeping it manageable.
Avoid going too short; if your scalp is fully visible, your pattern won’t have anything to grip onto.
💈 Tip: Ask your barber for a low Caesar or taper cut to keep things clean.
Step 2: Moisturize and Soften the Hair
Use a light moisturizer or wave pomade after every wash. Your hair should be soft and slightly damp before brushing.
Great options:
-
Curl-enhancing cream
-
Leave-in conditioner
-
Light wave grease or pomade
Apply a small amount and spread evenly. Don’t overdo it.
Step 3: Brush Daily in the Right Pattern
Brushing is the foundation of wave development. Stick to consistent angles — especially with low cuts where your pattern will show quickly.
-
Top: Brush forward from crown to forehead
-
Sides: Brush at a 45° angle downward
-
Back: Brush straight down from the crown
Brush for 10–15 minutes 2–3 times daily.
Pro tip: Use a handheld mirror to master your angles and spot forks early.
Step 4: Lock in Progress with Compression
Low cuts need protection, otherwise, you’ll lose your pattern every night.
Throw on a silky durag or wave cap before bed to maintain compression and keep your waves laid.
You can also double compress by layering both. Just make sure it’s comfortable.
