| When i got my hair cut yesterday my barber cut wtg first then i saw that it wasn't cut low enough so he asked me did i want him to cut atg and then i asked him wouldn't it cut off the waves and he said they'll still be in there cause he'll use a bigger guard. And what do you know, he was right |

I think the moral of his story is that the myth that atg is bad for waves was proven wrong for him.

^ not just wrong for him, the myth is false altogether. the only way
ypu lose waves when you cut ATG is when you cut the hair lower then the
wave length. the wave length is the length you hair curls @/the length
your hair can for a semi s(half of a S) the same thing would happen if you were to cut WTG below your wave length, the waves will fade away for a lil while and then come back, keep this in mine: if you ever cut your hair too low and your waves disappear don't sweat it they always come back when your hair grows back. quick tip: light ceasars is not for everyone, and what said about wave length is the main reason why. light ceasars are mainly for the fellas with the thinner waves because their waves length is very low. fellas with the super thick waves can't get light ceasars cause the length of a light ceasar is below their wave length. thats why most of the those guys here and on 360waves always have darker cuts. a 1 or 1.5 WTG is wave suicide for someone like cjay, hyfeeboi, da1nonli. i can't even get light ceasar and i found that out 6weeks ago cause i have 2 different wave length, my sides are thick and my back and top are skinnier then the sides. when i gave myself a light ceasar 6weeks ago i had no side waves at all for 2weeks, and obviouly they came back. my bad for the long post, just dropping some knowlegde for those that didn't know. ------------- |

so you are basically saying that if you cut against the grain you will not hurt your waves? And how can you tell what your wave length is?

a 1.5 wtg is perfect for me, even though i hav super thick hair. and yea 360 spinna is right, just don't get it cut too short. i'm still a wtg. ------------- the wave game is a game of stategies, methods, and experience to become a champion! |

ATG:against the grain WTG: with the grain i came up with the idea of abbreviating it and now most people are using the abbreviation instead of spelling it all out. ------------- |
