Hey there
I never knew that wax was not good after all these years of having my locks...not that i used it all that often.
So whats the story with the wax?...

whoa whoa whoa... DO NOT TRIM YOUR LOOSE HAIRS!!!!!! When you trim your loose hairs as the get loose, they NEVER lock into the roots, then you have more loose hairs and you trim those... eventually your roots become thin and weak and your locks WILL break off. I know this from experience. There are lots of ways of locking the loose hair into the roots, what i find usefull is to simply twist and twist the loosies until they cant be twisted anymore because the kindof twist into a little ball (different that "dread balling" because it "balls" from the bottom instead of the top) then shoving it into the root. When it untwists inside the root it wraps itself around the inside of the roots and holds tightly. Like i said, there are a bunch of other ways to get the same results, just dont cut them.
