What Are 360 Waves

So, what is a 360 waves haircut? This is a popular Afro hair look that suggests laying your curly hair down so it creates a wavy pattern. It has other names though, such as 180 waves, 720 waves and wolfing waves. It is worth mentioning that the style originates in Ancient Egypt. So, you could only imagine how rich its history is.

To make your hair form waves, you need to brush it constantly starting from when it is still quite short. After a while, your hair will become rippled, which looks like ocean waves. The hairstyle is pretty versatile, as it features many variations. As such, there are 180 waves, which form as a result of brushing the hair on top only. Also, there are 720 waves, which consist of vertical ridges. No matter what style you are going to choose, you can rest assured that Black mens waves are a timeless hairstyle that will make you look your best.
