Hair Texture Types & Wave Potential
Waves Are Built — Not Given
One of the biggest myths in wave culture is that only certain hair types can get waves.
That’s not true.
Anyone can get waves.
The difference is
how long it takes and how much work it requires — not whether it’s possible.
Waves are simply your hair laying down in a repeated pattern through brushing, compression, and care. Every hair type responds differently, but every texture can respond.
Curly Hair (Type 3)
Curly hair is one of the best wave textures, period.
Why?
- Curls naturally form patterns
- Waves show clearly
- Definition comes faster with consistency
Curly hair wavers can achieve:
- Deep, flowing connections
- Sharp crowns
- Beautiful shine and motion
Curly waves aren’t “almost there” waves —
they’re
top tier when maintained properly.
Coarse / Kinky Hair (Type 4)
Coarse hair produces the deepest, tightest waves.
This texture:
- Responds fast to brushing
- Creates bold definition
- Shows dramatic progress early
But coarse hair also requires:
- Moisture discipline
- Scalp care
- Patience to avoid over-brushing or dryness
These waves hit hard — but only when cared for correctly.
What Actually Determines Wave Success
Hair texture matters less than these five things:
- Consistency – brushing every day, not sometimes
- Direction – brushing the correct angles from the crown
- Compression – durag or wave cap daily
- Moisture – hydrated hair waves better, always
- Patience – waves don’t rush, they build
This applies to every hair type.
The DemWavyBoyz Rule
We don’t rank waves by hair type.
We respect
effort, discipline, and growth.
Straight hair waves.
Curly hair waves.
Coarse hair waves.
Different journeys.
Same crown.
Final Word
If your hair grows, it can wave.
If you brush with purpose, it will respond.
If you stay consistent, progress will come.
Waves don’t ask where you started —
they only respond to what you practice.
Protect your crown.
Trust the process.
