Cutting waves with the grain would seems like it makes perfect sense because thats the way we brush, but it's just the opposite.
Barbers like myself have or own techniques just like other professions when it comes to how we patron our customers.
for example:
Say so have a car that needs to be fixed and to take it in to the local shop to get fixed. The mechanic will sometimes tell you need additional parts that you dont really need just to run up the tab. Then that might have not even been the problem and now you spending more money.
We'll these practices are also done by barbers. Cutting your hair WTG is on of them.
1.) It reqiures more time to go atg then wtg to clean it up. (Which would be the correct way).
2.) Secondly WTG will cuase your hair to grow back unevenly making last for far less time than it would ATG.
(Bringing you back sooner and more often to get your hair cut) putting more money in the barbers pocket.
And it gets the barber to the next client faster.
keeping it movin. LOL TRUST ME, I been cutting hair since 1991. JUST TRUST ME. ATG, ATG, ATG. Now you know.
Good info. I still think that the quality of wtg vs. atg haircuts depends on your hair texture and thickness, and your barber's technique and skill. My barbers cuts my hair wtg and takes his time making sure that my 360's are tight. Towards those ends, I prefer wtg haircuts for my hair texture.
Also, no matter if you get a wtg or atg haircut, once your line up grows out, you still have to go back to the barbershop for a cut, line up, or trim to maintain a fresh 360 wave look.

I think Ant's getting so stressed with people makin wrong decisions that he cant help to share some of his secrets
ya i bet if no1 buys the book, he'll get to tensed up and just yell out all his 360 wave secrets that not even WC could have discovered
The answers are out there. I just bring it to you from a barbers point of view. But I was cuttin B4 I was wavin.
So I already know the questions people want answered. And I just do my best to answer them. I dont want anyone feeling left in the dark about waves, after they read the book.

i dont want to cut too low though, cause my hair has to be kinda high to see my waves( my hair is kinda straight)
you dont suggest combing hair b4 hand?
one time i combed my hair back atg and cut it wtg, does that dfeat the purpose or whut?
Combing your hair before you cut it is a good technique. It helps you cut it more evenly. Also, combing your hair wtg and then cutting atg is a method used by barbers to do blending and tapers and may not be the best method for full 360 wave haircuts. Some barbers comb wtg and cut the hair strands while they're still in the teeth of the comb. This is also a method used for blending and cutting tapers.
