Notes about beeswax and dread wax:

Forget everything you’ve heard about “beeswax”. Beeswax is an amazing natural ingredient that is often ridiculed out of ignorance or misunderstanding. Most store bought products that call themselves beeswax are over 90% petrolatum. Loading your hair with greasy pomades is not going to help it lock up. Anyone that has tried these products with tell you that wax is bad. Some people try melting pure beeswax and putting it their hair. Pure beeswax is hard and brittle. This is a bad idea. Those that have tried this can tell you what a mess it is. We have also heard from a fair number of people that have tried similar products but "over waxed" their dreads. Over waxing does not help and having to much wax in your dreads is not fun. Here’s an analogy for ya: Most people would agree that when you brush your teeth using toothpaste is a good idea, but if you used Ѕ a tube each time you brushed you would probably hate toothpaste. Using that much you’d have it all over your face,it would be dripping down your arm, you’d be swallowing it...gross. After that it’s very likely you would decide that toothpaste is not for you. But there’s nothing wrong with toothpaste...you just used too much.This is what I think of when I hear some people describe their "bad wax" experience. All they need is a birthday cake cause it looks like they have about 40 candles on their head. No wonder they think it’s gross.

We use only the highest grade all natural beeswax. This ultra pure grade of wax allows us to use a much higher ratio of beeswax to other ingredients while maintaining a workable product. This means better results with far less wax. You’ll be amazed at how long this 4oz jar will last. An average size dread gets about 1 m&m’s worth of wax. Smaller dreads may get Ѕ that. Only add wax if they feel dry and fuzzy. Don’t add it just because it smells good!
