Most wavers struggle with the crown. It is the smallest part of the pattern, the most angle-sensitive, and the first area to look patchy.
The good news is that a patchy crown is almost always caused by weak compression or incorrect angle training, not bad hair.
Here is how compression fixes it.
Why your crown looks patchy
• You are brushing the wrong angles
• You are not brushing close enough to the crown center
• Your compression is too loose
• You are wolfing without sealing the crown
• You are using too much product near the swirl
The crown grows in a circular pattern, not straight. It requires exact brushing.
How compression fixes the crown
• A tight durag pulls the pattern outward
• A wave cap applies even pressure
• Double compression keeps everything sealed
• Consistent pressure prevents the swirl from lifting
• Strong hold helps the crown form connections
How to fix a patchy crown
• Brush inward toward the crown center
• Moisturize lightly
• Use a medium brush for accuracy
• Tie your durag tightly around the crown
• Add the wave cap for extra hold
• Wolf long enough to build depth
With the right routine, your crown will sharpen within a few weeks.
