Tori's Wave Kit ๐
No research team on this one โ this is Tori's own shelf. He wears his hair in waves: the grease, the brush, the detangler for wash & style, the durag, and the stocking cap. What's in the kit, what each piece does, and where the good ones actually come from.
How the kit works
Waves are trained, not born
You brush the pattern in. The grease holds it and feeds it. Then the durag or the cap presses it flat while it sets โ especially overnight. Skip the tie-down and a night's sleep unravels the day's brushing. That's the whole system; the shelf below is picking the right version of each piece.
Tori's pick logic๐ Wave grease & pomade
Pick: the classics โ Murray's and Sportin' Waves have been laying waves for decades; heavy pomade when you're training and need the hold. In Tori's own cabinet: the 360 waves pomade โ it's on his shelf and in his rotation. Budget / daily pick: a wave butter (Wave Builder, Cantu) for moisture and a softer hold โ and the Murray's tin itself sits around five bucks and lasts.
Tori's pick logic๐ชฎ The brush
Pick: a medium brush for everyday sessions; a hard brush earns its place when you're wolfing (growing the waves out) or brushing in the shower. A palm brush fits the hand and gives you control. Budget pick: one good medium brush covers most days โ add the hard brush when the kit grows.
Tori's pick logic๐ชฅ The detangler brush โ wash & style
Pick: a detangler brush is Tori's wash-day tool. The flexible teeth work the shampoo through without snagging, and brushing the lather in is the wash & style โ the pattern gets trained while the hair gets clean. Tori's wash: a rice shampoo soap bar โ that's the lather he brushes through. Budget pick: a few bucks at the beauty supply, right near the durags โ grab one on your next cap run.
Tori's pick logic๐ Durags โ the tie-down
Pick: silky or stretch with long, wide tails โ real compression without digging in. Tori's rule: the good durags come from the hair and beauty-supply store. The gas-station rack ones slip off by 3 AM and stretch out in a week. Budget pick: buy two, so one is always clean.
Tori's pick logic๐งข Stocking & wave caps
Pick: the cap goes over the durag to double the compression on training days, or solo on light days. Same rule as the durags: beauty-supply shelves carry the ones that actually stay on and hold their stretch. Budget pick: a multi-pack โ caps are the piece you replace most.
