Want Waves Like Nelly and Diddy?

I found an article on how to get 360 waves... a hairstyle I hadn't heard of before.  I have never been accused of being a fashionista before but I read a lot, and thought I would have come across it at some point.  Regardless of my ignorance, here are some tips to getting your 360 waves [from an article on Squidoo.] 

"The first step is getting a fresh cut if needed. It is no possible to get waves with long hair like, braids, cornrows, dreadlocks, etc. You can also start a new wave pattern off a fresh haircut.

Next, go to your local Walgreen's store and pickup a couple of supplies. Here's what you should get at the very least.

A "Du rag", stocking cap, or another type of scarf- to stop you from destroying your pattern up when you go to sleep. Don't let all that work go to waste.

Medium or soft style hair brush- this is used to brush the 360 waves pattern in. Don't scalp yourself with a coarse brush.

Some hair lotion/moisturizer- this is used to keep your scalp and hair clean and healthy. Also used in some advanced waving methods to help lay the hair down in the 360 wave pattern.

After you get your supplies, wash your hair clean of any dirt, and begin your moisturizing/brushing schedule depending on your hair type. Some will find that their hair may need a lot more moisture or brushing than others. There are guides available on the internet to help you find the best waving combinations for your hair type.

The key in how to get 360 waves in your hair is to stick to your brushing and moisturizing schedule."
