Ask any waver what tool matters most, and they’ll tell you: the brush is everything. Waves aren’t natural — they’re trained. And the right brush is the difference between shallow ripples and deep 360s. But not all hair types are the same, so your brush game has to match your texture and stage.
Soft Brushes: Fresh Cuts & Finish Work ✂️
A soft brush glides over low cuts, smoothing hair without irritating your scalp. Perfect right after a fresh cut, it lays down those baby waves until your hair thickens.
Medium Brushes: Daily Training 🌀
Most wavers live on medium brushes. They hit just deep enough to keep progress while still being gentle enough for everyday sessions.
Hard Brushes: Wolfing & Depth 💪
When you’re wolfing and your hair is at peak thickness, the hard brush is king. It reaches deep layers and trains your pattern to stay connected.
FAQs
Q: Can I just use one brush?
👉 You can, but progress will stall. You need all three in your arsenal.
Q: How long should I brush each session?
👉 20–30 minutes minimum, longer if you’re wolfing.
Q: Does brush shape matter?
👉 Yes. Curved brushes hug your head better, helping train your crown.
