I was recently told that putting beeswax into ones hair makes the hair actually become very thin and begin to fall out. This person said that the wax gets into the scalp and into the roots and damages the hair from inside. I have used your wax and my hair is very dreaded and thick. But I'm just wondering wax can to this or not. Can you help me? .: Knotty Boy FAQs

Hmm. Wow, never heard that one before. Hair really isn't that complicated, so it would be a stretch to think that a product that is applied externally can really crawl inside hair and make it fall out. I think it has more to do with lifestyle and genetics. We do know that people have been using beeswax and beeswax-based products on their dreads for decades and we've never heard back from a single one of our own Knotty Boy customers saying that our product caused their hair to fall out. If you have a strong, healthy noggin of locks, you don't have too much to worry about.

article My son has baby fine, thin light brown hair with a wave curl, 4 inches long. After bleaching his hair, he was ready for dreadlocks. The hairdresser we went to said his hair was good texture & length for the dread locks. She sectioned hair in 1/2 inch squares, total of 61, split each square in two, twisted it with beeswax, used a salon product on it and shaved up to ears at back. He loved it! But before we got home, we drove 2 hours looking for beeswax because the twists were untwisting! We finally found a salon that sold us Walnut Bees Wax, she also told us we didn't have dread locks, we had twists and we would have to twist and wax everyday. So 1/2 hour each morning I am twisting & waxing. Thru the night with a stocking, the wax wears off at the pillow area, and untwists but the top of head does not make contact, so the beeswax is still there but twists still undo. So now that I know we have twists, am I going to be twisting and waxing my life away every morning at 6am for 1/2 hour? When the new growth of light brown hair grows in under the squared teased spot, how is it that this becomes teased? Your dread wax seems harder. With using your wax will it give us staying power for the twists, and less greasy shine & less redoing the twists? (My wax is soft but not runny and the twists remain soft.) DREADS, TWISTS, LOCKS, BRAIDS - are these 4 different hairstyles?
Ok, we'll try and tackle these as best we...
