About wax...
General Questions
Well not so much for defense but the original question asked for benefits if any of using wax. The purpose of using wax is to hold straight hair together without having to use glue.
You do not have to spend that much money, you can get wax for 5 bucks more or less and you can do it yourself or have a friend do it for you. The salon thing is a whole different case.
So as I said, wax is used to hold the hair and it holds it better than any other hair product that I can think of at the moment.
Also to get dreads like SE it would take a couple of years. So if you just want temporarily dreads for like an event or whatever, then wax is a good option to hold the hair together on finestraighthair.
Also people keep in mind that what I'm trying to say is that wax is good to hold hair together, and if someone uses wax is for that reason so that is the only positive about it. That does not mean using wax to start/maintain dreads is good.
