    What type of bristles should my brush have if I have a B1 or B2 hair texture? Should I cut the waves into my hair?
    Sarah Battilana

    Having waves cut into your hair can definitely help the appearance of 360 waves. As for the brush, look for a soft-bristled brush. A medium- or hard-bristled brush could actually dry out your hair too much or make it frizzy.

    Community Answer
    Waves are a hairstyle for curly hair in which the curls are brushed and/or combed and flattened out, creating a ripple-like pattern. The hairstyle is achieved with a short-cropped haircut and frequent brushing and/or combing of the curls (which trains the curls to flatten out), as well as wearing a do-rag.
