The 4 Worst Ways to Get 360 Waves, Ranked

4. Stocking cap

The sheer audacity to leave home with some scissored-up pantyhose on your dome. Unless you wanna look like someone’s resourceful uncle — or Day-Day in Next Friday — upgrade to the wide world of durags.

2. Texturizer

No need to fry your scalp so your strands swim good. Instead, just trust the (chemical-free) process: embrace the wolf, moisturize, brush like hell, tie it down, repeat over the course of several weeks. Easy!
