Find out the answers to Sir Cruse’s most perplexing queries. What products does he use on his hair? Is his hair wavy or straight by nature? Now is the time to read.
Sir Cruse’s goal of giving viewers a vivid sense of the 360-waver lifestyle is contradicted by his nonsensical opening blabs.
The curls were great. Sir Cruse began posting videos in 2009, largely of himself giggling and flexing his biceps. He shifted gears in 2012 and refocused on a different portion of his body: his wavy hair. Cruse subsequently began releasing videos such as “How to Brush 360 Waves Guide” and “Wave Products and Haircutting Tools,” among others. He began pushing the wacky coiffure as his subscription base grew, igniting a fad in the ripple-like haircut among men and women.
Sir Cruse, who is he?
Sir Cruse, a YouTube vlogger and 360 wave guru, was born William Cruse Jr. in Chicago, Illinois, to William Sr. and Valerie Cruse. Terrance, his younger brother, is his only sibling.
Cruse Jr. went to DeVry University to study computer engineering, but instead opted to offer videos on how to create the greatest 360 curls and promote hair products.

Sir Cruse Before Fame
In 2009, he started uploading videos on YouTube for fun. It showed him, his friends and family goofing around, as well as Cruse flexing his muscles. Bodybuilding, reading and writing poems are among Cruse’s hobbies.
Two years after posting fun and muscle- flexing videos, he started uploading about his elaborate 360 waves, with tutorials on how to achieve them. He finally caught the world’s attention.
How Did He Get into 360 Waves?
Sir Cruse said he started having interest in “waves” when he was 8 or 9. The rest of the kids in his school also had waves, but Cruse remembered seeing a boy in 6th grade who had the nicest waves he had seen, and who’d obsessively brush his hair.
Curious about the kid’s enviable curls, Cruse followed him to the toilet and tried the boy’s brush on his hair, thinking his hair will “magically” transform into the best curls, which of course, did not happen.
Cruse went on with his journey for the perfect waves by combing and brushing his hair as often as he could. When he graduated, he had deep curls on the top and sides of his head.
His 360- wave obsession took shape around 2008 or 2009, he said, where he took the effort to have a uniquely curly hairstyle by experimenting. Cruse’s wave- building resources were mainly Facebook and some stores that offered tutorials. He was encouraged by the great results and in 2011, with the aim to become the 360 wave authority, started to upload YouTube tutorials.
Waves fit his smooth personality and lifestyle completely and Cruse said he’d never get rid of his curls until he dies. Cruse calls his waves as his “religion” and the brush, his “bible”.
What are 360 waves?
Waves are called such because they resemble oceanic waves or the ripple effect. The 360 wave is named as such because the ripple pattern covers the whole part of the head (i.e 360 degrees). This hairstyle is fairly common among Latino and African American communities.
According to 360 “wavers”, there is no such thing as an “instant wave”. Real 360 waves are a product of brushes and combs, hair kits, texturizers, curl enhancing smoothies, pomades and other hair products. Having 360 waves, they said, is a lifestyle, being that it is a process that needs work and effort.
Sir Cruse’s Most-Watched Videos
His most watched videos are generally wave checks, which shows him reacting to videos of 360 waver neophytes. Sir Cruse’s top video entitled “White Kid Tries To Get 360 Waves! Is He Serious!?” has over 3 million views as of 2020.
The second most watched video, “White Boy Thinks His 360 Waves Is Killing”, shows Cruse poking fun at another young new 360 waver. These popular videos show how the hairstyle, culturally linked to Latinos and African- Americans, is slowly seeping into the Anglo-American culture.
His 2012 tutorial video, ‘How to Get 360 Waves w/Tutorial and Steps’, was the first to cross the 500K viewership.

Glimmer confirmed Cruse is obsessed with his hair, going to the bathroom and brushing it all the time. The wave legend also loves to take naps often and adores his mother, according to her.
Jazzy Glimmer first saw Sir Cruse on Instagram Top Live and YouTube, and she took interest in him. Later, Cruse hired Glimmer to become a moderator for his social media account, and this was how they first hit up. They started dating soon after, in the last quarter of 2019.
Sir Cruse: Past Relationships
Apart from his current relationship with Glimmer, Cruse claimed to have had a previous relationship in which he was cheated on. He discussed his past flings in a 2018 video.
Cruse once hooked up with a girl named “Nia” through social networking site Tagged around 2007-2008. They met personally in 2010 but did not pursue a relationship.
Four years later, Cruse met Bridgette, who he later found out was Nia’s friend, via Facebook. Cruse claimed it was a serious relationship albeit long distance. Months into the relationship, he found out she was cheating on him and they broke off after another man got Bridgette pregnant.
