I'm thinking of cutting the 'fro and getting some waves...

Okay okay, I get it. Waves are in. Despite spending all this damn time growing out the 'fro:

Apparently it's old news. I got busted for it in a freestyle battle, then when I visited my cousins for thanks giving they were like "What's with the oldschool du?"

Then, like everything, I do some research on the net and I find this site:

Fuck yes, I need those... but all that work :(

Well, thanks, just when I quit wearing 360's they come back in. Fuck you Beyonce. Shit.

Okay, the question is... do I go back to the waves? Or do I stick it out and keep the fro?

Hey buddy, I'm a gonna help you out.

Whenever you have ANY sort of idea, whatsoever, whether it's about talking shit to some dude about his girl, doing handstands, posting a thread here, or anything other than eating/breathing/sleeping/going to the bathroom, UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES FOLLOW THROUGH ON YOUR IDEA. You have repeatedly proven that you have no judgement in such matters. Best just to sit in a corner and rock back and forth, and therefore be no bother to anyone here or in your personal life.

I believe there is a person on the couch in the second picture. Continue your detective work.

Is it possible for you to go even a few weeks without posting a goddamn picture of yourself? Seriously -- do you have some kind of disorder?

Not only are waves in, but they gotta be 360s. :D

My nightly routine when (when I was younger and in middle school): 1) Vigorously brush my hair. 2) Massage a little of Murray's pomade wave stuff in my hair...let it sit for a few minutes. 3) Put a towel under scalding hot water (with gloves on, of course), let it get completely wet, and wring it out. 4) Put the hot towel on my head until it got cold. 5) Take a pair of my mom's unopened stockings, cut it up, and make a stocking cap. 6) Go to sleep in it. :)

EDIT: Oh, I see you already included a link to 360s in your original post.

God.. you TORTURE yourself for some waves. All you REALLY need is some shampoo. Brush your hair before you get in the shower, brush your hair with the shampoo in, and slip on a wavecap when you get out the shower while your hair's wet.

After I got my 360s, that's all I used to do. But, for some reason now, I stopped caring about my waves and didn't wear a wave cap/durag. I only have the waves on top.

They USED to look like this:

My brother's looks like this (now):

In almost every one of your threads, you make it a point to say that that you do your own thing, fuck the haters, etc. What happened? Who cares what's in? Wear your hair the way you want.

If we all did that, 99% of the people on earth would have dredlocks, and wouldn't bathe :lol

In the first pic (Your 'old' pic) You have about 6 circles. That's fine

Your brother (Second pic) has about 8 or 12

The third pic (The 'perfect' one) Has about 16. I have about 16 - 18 too, but I don't get my hair cut as low as you all do. I definitely have tighter waves than this dude though. It's part genetics, part having a good brush, but I definitely don't really maintain my hair excessively.

I don't really count the waves (although, now that you bring it up, it could be an important criterion to consider what are and what aren't "nice waves"). I unconsciously use the "look" to paint a description, like the consistency of the pattern.

But if your waves look better than the pic I put up, then I envy you. :) But the guy from my middle school had better hair than that pic. It's only the closest one I could find that matched.

This made me all of a sudden want to get my 360s back. :p

I know some girls with waves, too. If you've seen'em, you know what I'm talking about: they're not as pronounced as ours, but when their hair is back, on top, you can see distinct wave patterns.

My brother ALWAYS comments about this one girl we know. He's always telling her about her "360s" (my brother is a really social person, so he's always jokingly complementing a person...even though he's being sincere). He's like in awe of them or something. :lol

Just shave it. Clean, easy, and smooth. Buy a kit for $20, never go to the barber's ever again.

Edit: You know, until now I thought the waves thing was natural, a result of having ultra-curly hair. How the hell does one pull that off?

Some people have natural waves. When I was younger I had waves, but only at the top of my head. My friends who were trying to get waves envied me because I didn't do anything for them. That was a while ago. Now I have braids.

Hey, I noticed that too. The only way to really get that is to shine a spot directly on yourself. It would explain why he's looking away.

Um, the pic is real, and that's not a photoshopped shirt :lol it's just crappy crappy lighting. Also, it was taken on my Thanksgiving trip... so it's not at home.

Second, okay, okay, we've all discussed waves and all that. But I don't have a definative answer. Do I keep growing out my hair? Or do I cut my hair short and wear 360s like current fashion/trend dictates?

Why don't you ask your friends who will actually be seeing your hair in real life? -_-
