If you’re serious about getting 360 waves, your brush is everything.
It’s not just about brushing — it’s about using the right brush at the right time. The truth is, not all brushes are created equal. Hard, medium, or soft — each plays a different role in the wave process 💯
Let’s break down the types of wave brushes and when to use each one for the best results.
1. Soft Brush – Best for Fresh Cuts & Sensitive Scalps
Soft brushes are gentle and perfect for brushing close to the scalp without irritation. They're ideal right after a fresh cut or if you have thin or tender hair.
Use a soft brush:
-
After a haircut (1.5 guard or lower)
-
For laying down frizz and flyaways
-
To train your crown without damage
Bonus: Great for brushing in product after moisturizing.
2. Medium Brush – Best for Daily Training
This is the most versatile brush and a must-have in every waver’s toolkit. It has enough firmness to move your hair but isn’t too aggressive.
Use a medium brush:
-
For daily brush sessions
-
When your hair is at medium length (2–3 guard)
-
During early wolfing
If you’re brushing 2–3 times a day, this is your go-to brush.
3. Hard Brush – Best for Wolfing Season
Hard brushes are designed to pull and train thick, long hair during wolfing — the stage when you grow your hair out for deeper waves.
Only use a hard brush when your hair is long enough to handle it — using it on short hair can cause breakage.
Tip: Pair your hard brushing with a moisturizing session and follow up with a durag or wave cap for compression.
4. Crown Brushes & Point Brushes – Best for Detail Work
These smaller brushes help you perfect your crown area. You’ll want to brush in a circular motion depending on your wave pattern (360, 540, or 720).
🎯 Use for:
-
Crown isolation
-
Fork correction
-
Tight angles and precision brushing
Final Word: Build a Brush Arsenal
One brush isn’t enough if you’re in the wave game for real.
✅ Soft for maintenance
✅ Medium for daily sessions
✅ Hard for wolfing
✅ Crown for precision
Get the right brush for every stage, and your wave progress will thank you 🙌
