About the 'new' wax versus the 'old' wax recipes, we hate to tell you this, but nothing has changed! What sometimes makes a big difference is the current temp and time of year - if you are where it's really hot during the summer, that makes a huge difference in it's consistency. Try keeping your new wax in the fridge and taking it out an hour before you use, or something like that if it's really hot where you are.

It’s also normal to notice the wax slightly different from jar to jar, as the wax’s actual make-up varies slightly according to the season in which the beeswax was gathered. It's an all-natural product, so it's not like buying the same hair gel from the drug store and knowing it's going to be exactly the same every time because of all the chemicals and emulsifiers added. Even if it's a bit softer, it still works well on your dreads - you don't need to use that much at a time, just enough to bind the loose hair together.
