Actually, we have TONS of people that do not have locks, but use Knotty Boy Dread Wax for their every styling need. We often hear that people have thrown out their gels and sprays and only use Knotty Boy for their frizzy, fly-away hair because it leaves their hair with a soft, thicker texture, rather than a crispy one... So just go ahead with it and see what happens with your hair. Again, use it sparingly, especially because it contains beeswax and not the easiest thing to remove from soft hair. But you may notice a big difference!
