You’ve been brushing for weeks. Your pattern is showing up… but those waves just won’t connect. 😩
Don’t stress, this is one of the most common issues wavers run into, especially early on. Whether you’re new to the game or trying to level up, disconnected waves usually point to 3 key problems: angles, consistency, or compression.
Let’s fix that. 👇
🧠 1. You’re Brushing the Wrong Angles
If your waves aren’t connecting, chances are you’re brushing against your natural pattern — not with it.
Here’s how to tighten up:
-
Always brush from the crown outward, not just front to back
-
Use a handheld mirror to check all sides (especially your weak side)
-
Brush in straight, fluid strokes ,not in circles or random motions
🎯 Pro Tip: Take pictures of your waves from different angles and compare them week to week. This helps you catch patterns early.
📉 2. You’re Not Brushing Enough
You can’t cheat the process. The more you brush, the more your hair learns the pattern.
Try this:
-
Add a 10–15 min morning session
-
Midday “mirror check” + short session
-
Nighttime 30-minute brush session before applying your durag
You don’t need to overdo it, but if you're inconsistent, your waves will be too.
🧢 3. You’re Not Wearing a Durag Properly
Even if you’re brushing right, if you’re not locking it in, your hair resets.
Make sure your compression game is tight:
-
Wear a durag every night
-
Add a wave cap for double compression
-
Wear them during naps, workouts, or chill time
The more time your hair stays laid in position, the better your wave connections will form.
4. Your Hair Might Be Too Dry
Dry, brittle hair doesn’t train well. You need moisture to get deeper waves and better definition.
Try using:
-
Leave-in conditioner
-
Wave-friendly pomade (not too heavy)
-
Hair lotion or butter with natural oils
Apply products after brushing to help seal the pattern in place.
🔥 Final Thoughts
Disconnected waves don’t mean you’re doing it wrong ,they just mean you’re not doing it enough. Focus on your angles, stay consistent with your brushing, and lock it in every night with your durag + wave cap. Your connections will start coming in crazy if you stick to the game plan.
